Privacy Policy

When you create an account on SelectiveExams, we collect the following information:

• Student full name and year level — to identify the student for leaderboard and reporting purposes.
• Parent/guardian full name — as the primary account holder.
• Email address — for account access, results delivery, and communications.
• Phone number — for account verification and important notifications.
• Suburb and postcode — for regional analytics and school suitability insights.
• School name (optional) — for aggregate insights only.
• Leaderboard consent — whether you consent to your child's name appearing publicly.

We also collect exam responses, scores, and timing data as part of the exam experience.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and operate the exam platform.
• Generate scores, rankings, and performance reports.
• Display names on the public leaderboard (only with explicit consent).
• Send exam results, reports, and important updates via email.
• Improve our platform and content based on aggregate, anonymised usage data.
• Contact you about your account or important service changes.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

SelectiveExams is designed for use by children under the supervision of a parent or guardian. All accounts are created by the parent/guardian, and we require parental consent for:

• Account creation and data collection.
• Public display of the student's name on the leaderboard.

We take the protection of children's data seriously and comply with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a trusted cloud database provider with servers in Australia. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.

Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

We do not share your personal information with third parties except:

• Service providers — we use Supabase (database/auth), Vercel (hosting), and Resend (email) to operate the platform. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or government request.
• Leaderboard — student names are displayed publicly only if the parent has explicitly consented at sign-up. This consent can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us.

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data at any time through your account dashboard.
• Correct any inaccurate information by updating your profile.
• Delete your account and all associated data by contacting us at support@selectiveexams.com.au.
• Withdraw consent for leaderboard display at any time.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

We use essential cookies only — for authentication and session management. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via email or a notice on the platform. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
