Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how 11+ Tutor, operated by PassEleven Ltd (company number 17408473, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ) ("we", "us"), collects and uses personal data when a parent or guardian ("you") uses the Service on behalf of their child. We are the data controller for the personal data described below.

1. Who this covers

Accounts are created and controlled by a parent or legal guardian, not by the child. Where this policy refers to "your child's data", it means information you provide about your child, and information generated while your child uses the Service under your account and supervision. We treat this as children's personal data and apply the extra care that requires — see Section 6.

2. Data we collect

FeedbackAnything you choose to submit via an error or feedback formYou, optionally

3. Why we use it, and our legal basis

  • To provide the Service (running tutoring sessions, tracking progress, showing the parent dashboard) — necessary to perform our contract with you.
  • To process payments and manage your subscription — necessary to perform our contract with you.
  • To keep the Service secure and working (rate limiting, error logging, abuse prevention) — our legitimate interest in operating a reliable, secure service.
  • To respond to feedback or support requests you send us — our legitimate interest in fixing problems and improving the Service, or performance of our contract with you.

We do not use your child's data for advertising, and we do not sell personal data.

4. How tutoring messages are processed

When your child sends a message in a tutoring session, that message (and recent conversation history, needed for the tutor to hold a coherent conversation) is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the tutor's reply. The same applies when you use the parent-facing "ask about progress" assistant — your question, and your child's existing score/programme data needed to answer it accurately, is sent to the same API. This means tutoring content and parent progress questions are processed by a subprocessor located outside the UK/EEA (the United States); see Section 7 on international transfers.

5. Who we share data with

Anthropic (Claude API)Tutoring conversation content, and parent progress-assistant questionsGenerates the AI tutor's replies and progress-assistant answers
StripeBilling/payment details, emailProcesses subscription payments
RenderAll data, encrypted at rest and in transitHosts the application and database (Frankfurt, EU region)

We do not share your or your child's data with any other third party, except where required by law, to protect the safety of a child, or with your consent.

6. Children's data — our approach

We only collect the minimum child information needed to run the tutoring service: a first name, year group, and target exam date, plus the tutoring conversation and progress data generated as your child uses the Service. We do not require or collect your child's date of birth, address, school name, or any other identifying detail beyond what's listed above. Your child's account is not a standalone account — it exists only as a profile under your parent account, which you control and can delete at any time (see Section 8). We do not send marketing communications to children, and we do not use profiling based on a child's data for anything other than adapting their own tutoring difficulty.

7. International transfers

Because Anthropic's Claude API is used to generate tutoring replies, some personal data (tutoring conversation content) is transferred to and processed in the United States. Where we transfer personal data outside the UK/EEA, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which are incorporated by reference into Anthropic's Data Processing Addendum and apply automatically to our use of their API, to ensure it receives an equivalent level of protection. By default, Anthropic does not use API inputs or outputs to train their models.

Stripe processes billing and payment data under its own Data Processing Agreement, which incorporates the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum by reference through Stripe's Data Transfers Addendum, to ensure an equivalent level of protection for any processing outside the UK/EEA.

8. Data retention and your rights

We keep account, child profile, and progress data for as long as your account is active, so your child's progress history remains useful to you. If you close your account, we delete this data on request, except where we must keep limited records for legal or accounting reasons. We will act on a deletion request within 30 days of receiving it. Our retention periods are:

DataRetention period
Account, child profile, tutoring conversations, and progress data While your account is active; purged when you request deletion
Billing records 6 years from the end of the relevant financial year (a legal minimum under HMRC record-keeping rules for Corporation Tax)
Backups 30–90 days after account deletion, then purged

If your subscription lapses and is not renewed, we do not delete your account or your child's data immediately — it remains available so your child's progress isn't lost if you come back later in the same academic year. If a lapsed subscription is not renewed within 6 months, we will email you a warning that the account is scheduled for deletion. If we do not hear back within a further 30 days, we will delete the account and your child's data, subject to the same legal/accounting exceptions described above.

Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted by Render in the Frankfurt (EU) region. Tutoring conversation content is additionally processed in the United States by Anthropic's Claude API to generate replies, under the international-transfer safeguards described in Section 7.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you and your child
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request erasure of your data (subject to any legal retention requirements)
  • Restrict or object to certain processing
  • Receive your data in a portable format
  • Complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have mishandled your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at kitchenmargins@gmail.com.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect personal data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls on our database. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep data protected and will notify you if we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, as required by law.

10. Cookies

We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in and to protect the Service against cross-site request forgery. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll post the updated version here with a new "last updated" date.

This is a draft template, not legal advice. Confirm the international-transfer safeguard actually in place with each subprocessor, and have a qualified solicitor review it before relying on it — particularly given the UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code) applies to services likely to be accessed by children.
