Privacy

Star Student Builder is a free resource for students and parents for every school and college. We collect as little as we can, and we never sell or share it.

What we keep

• Reading the site needs no account. We count page visits per day (the page address only — no names).
• Online tests: when you finish a test we save the name, Std, age and gender you typed, and your result, so you can open it again from My Results. If you are not signed in, the result is linked to a cookie on this browser (ssb_did); if you are signed in, to your account. Star Student Builder teachers can see results so they can guide students.
• Accounts: name, email, a securely hashed password (we cannot read it), and the Std, age, school and phone you choose to add.

Children

Many of our readers are school students. Please ask a parent before creating an account. Parents can ask us to see or delete a child's account or results at any time.

Visits to this site

When a page is opened we record the internet (IP) address it was opened from, the date and time, the page, the site you came from if any, and the kind of browser and device. We use it to see how much Star Student is being used and to spot abuse. It is visible only to the site's owner, it is never sold or shared, and it is deleted automatically after 90 days.

An IP address usually identifies a connection rather than a person — a whole household, a school or a mobile network can share one. If the owner switches on the optional place lookup, an address is sent once to a mapping service (ip-api.com) to find the approximate city; nothing else about you is sent with it, and that setting is off unless it has been turned on.

Contact and deletion

Signed-in students can delete their own account at any time from My account. Deleting an account removes the account itself and the work kept in it — test, quiz and mock-test results, and the progress record.

What we keep after a deletion. We keep the email address, the name, the date the free week ended and the details of any plan that was still running. We keep it for one reason: so that an account made again with the same address is not given a second free week, and so that a plan already paid for is restored rather than lost. We do not keep the password, the work, the results or the progress record. If you would like this last record removed as well, ask us and we will remove it — a later account made with that address would then start afresh.
