MathsNet Ltd is strongly committed to the protection of your privacy. Unlike others we will never sell your address or exploit your personal details in any way. You will receive no junk mail as a result of any enquiry or order you may place with us. Any information about you will be used in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) 2018.

We do not collect any personal information unless the information is voluntarily submitted. The information we collect about you depends upon the type of user account you purchase.

One of the purposes of the site is to build up a student's work assessment. This is primarily data about attempts made on the various o-tests (online tests). This data is available for the student to view at any time and, if associated with a school/multi-user account, for the tutors/teachers of that school to view and assess. Other data generated by both students and teachers may include customised exam papers and sets of questions grouped into specific tasks. This is not considered personal information.
