// WHAT IS KEPT

How often each page is read

A count per page, nothing about who opened it.

A random number, in your browser

Your browser makes one up the first time you arrive. It is not a cookie and holds nothing about you or your device; it only lets us tell that someone came back. Clearing your site data ends it immediately.

Your drill answers — in your browser, unless you register

Which drills you have worked, and what you chose, stays in your browser. It reaches us only if you register a desk, below, and you can clear it from the archive page.

Your email — only if you give it to us

Kept encrypted, and used to send you what you asked for. Every letter carries an unsubscribe link, and asking us deletes the address outright.

// WHAT IS NOT KEPT

• Your IP address.
• Tracking cookies, advertising identifiers, or device fingerprints of any kind.
• Anything about what you read, tied to your name or email.
• Your card details — paid products are sold and paid for somewhere else entirely.

// A REGISTERED DESK

Your desk is anonymous and lives in your browser unless you register it. Registering is the one action here that moves any of it to us, and it happens only when you ask: you give an address, we email a six-digit code and a sign-in link, and the desk opens when you use either. Continuing with Google instead gives us the same thing, your address, and nothing else.

What is held then is that address, encrypted, and the judgments you have recorded — the issue, the option you chose, the date, and the amount committed. Then what the free tools last told you: the five letters you chose in the interview quiz, and the name of the calculator's verdict, never the numbers you typed into it. And a name, a role and a focus, only if you add them to the desk yourself. For about three months the site also notes which days a registered desk signed in or was used — the desk, not the pages. Nothing about which pages you visited. When a desk is opened, the Lab's editor is sent an email with its number and address. Registering does not subscribe you to anything. The letter is a separate decision with its own form.

Closing the desk is on the desk itself, and it deletes the registration and the address outright — no record is kept to recognise you by. Your judgments stay in your browser, where they were before you registered.

// ASKING US TO FORGET YOU

Clearing this site's data in your browser removes the random number and your drill record, and there is no way for us to reconstruct either. For anything else — an email address, a registered desk, a question about what is held — write to hello@bankingjudgmentlab.com.
