What a paper stores

For each paper or drill: which questions it holds and in what option order, the answers you hand in, when it started and was handed in, and its score. Nothing else: no name, no email, no device details.

Records

A record links papers together. The database keeps only a one-way hash of the record link and of each paper link, so a lost link cannot be looked up or recovered. Anyone you give a link to can open it (and can delete a record), so keep your links to yourself.

Cookies and your browser

The only cookie is a security token that forms need (it stops other sites from sending forms in your name); it holds no personal data and lasts up to a day. The home page and the sample question set no cookie at all. While you sit a timed paper, your unsent answers are kept in your own browser’s session storage so a reload does not lose them; they leave your device only when you hand in.

Abuse limits

To slow down abuse, the site counts new papers and new records per network address, stored only as a salted one-way hash and deleted after two days.

Server logs

The web host keeps standard access logs (address, time, page requested) for up to about two months: each month’s log is archived and the archive is removed after the following month ends. Those logs include page addresses, so they include paper and record links.

Advertising

The home, Papers, Syllabus, Pricing and About pages show one banner ad from AdEngine (adengine.us), the small ad network run by WeldonPC, the company behind Deskcheck. For now the ads are for WeldonPC’s own services. There is no ad in the exam room, on a marked script or drill, on a record, on the sample question page, or on this page and the terms.

To show the ad, your browser loads a script from adengine.us, asks it for one banner, loads the banner image, and reports once that the page was viewed and once that the banner was shown. Like any website, adengine.us receives your network (IP) address and your browser type with those requests. The requests name this site; they never carry the page address, so your paper and record links are never sent.

• No cookies, no profile. AdEngine sets no cookies, gives you no ID and does not track you from site to site.
• How your network address is used. adengine.us looks up the approximate city for your address in a location database kept on its own server (nothing is sent to anyone else), so that ads meant for one area are shown only there. It also uses the address to count each ad view or click only once and to leave out robots and WeldonPC’s own office traffic. The address is not stored with the counts; the temporary entries made from it expire within six hours and are cleared from the server within two days.
• What is kept. Daily totals only: page views for this site, and views and clicks for each ad. Deskcheck uses no analytics services; this daily total is the only page-view count. The adengine.us web server also keeps a standard access log (address, time, address requested, referring site, browser) for security; it is deleted on a rolling schedule.
• Clicking an ad passes through adengine.us, which counts the click, and then opens the advertiser’s site, which has its own privacy policy.
• Nothing about you is sold or shared.

Deleting

• The Delete button on a record removes it and every paper on it at once.
• Papers not kept on a record are deleted after 30 days. Records not opened for 400 days are deleted with their papers.
• Nightly database backups are kept for 14 days. Database copies taken at each software update are kept on the server for up to 30 days, then deleted; one offline copy of each update is also kept for rolling back and can outlast that.

Payments

None are taken during the preview. When they start, PayPal will handle them and this page will say what PayPal shares with us.
