Certbie

Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 26, 2026
Last updated: July 26, 2026

This policy explains how Certbie collects and uses information when you visit certbie.com or use its certification study tools. Your privacy choices depend on where you live and the features you use.

1. Information we collect

  • Account data: email address, username, authentication method, password hash when password sign-in is used, and notification choices.
  • Study data: exam goals, answers, scores, response times, hints, bookmarks, study sessions, review schedules, progress, feedback, and any exam outcome you voluntarily report.
  • Guest data: a first-party guest identifier and study progress saved before you create an account.
  • Technical data: IP address, device and browser details, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, and security logs.
  • Messages: information you submit to support or through the question-correction form.

2. How we use information

  • Provide accounts, guest sessions, quizzes, and study plans.
  • Schedule reviews and calculate evidence-based learning progress.
  • Secure the service and prevent fraud, spam, and abuse.
  • Send service messages and reminders you have requested.
  • Send marketing only when you separately opt in. You may unsubscribe at any time.
  • Measure and improve content quality and product performance.
  • Display advertising on eligible content pages, subject to applicable consent choices.
  • Meet legal obligations and enforce our terms.

3. Cookies, consent, and advertising

Essential first-party storage supports sign-in, security, guest progress, and study preferences. Blocking it may prevent those features from working.

Eligible public content pages may use Google AdSense. Google and its partners may process device information, cookies, or similar identifiers to deliver and measure ads. Active question screens, dashboards, account pages, checkout, and other excluded routes do not intentionally load AdSense.

Where required, a consent message lets you accept, reject, or manage advertising purposes before non-essential advertising storage is used. You can revisit your choices using the privacy and cookie settings control made available by that message. You can also manage Google advertising preferences in My Ad Center.

4. Service providers and disclosure

We may disclose only the information needed to hosting, email, authentication, payment, security, analytics, and advertising providers that help operate Certbie. Google processes advertising data under its own policies. If paid features are made available, the checkout page will identify the payment processor before purchase.

We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose information when required by law, during a business reorganization, or when reasonably necessary to protect users, Certbie, or the public.

5. Retention and security

We retain account and study data while your account is active and for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security. Guest data may expire or be merged into an account. We use access controls, encrypted transport, secure session handling, and password hashing, but no system is completely secure.

6. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or export personal data, or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already completed. Marketing consent is optional and is not required to use free learning features.

7. Children

Certbie is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Local law may set a higher minimum age for consent.

8. Changes and contact

We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do. To ask a privacy question or exercise a data right, email support@certbie.com.
