dotCreds Privacy Policy

This policy explains how dotCreds handles analytics, local storage, optional account flows, third-party services, and advertising on the website. Last updated: May 22, 2026.

Analytics Cookies and local storage Advertising disclosures

Short version

dotCreds stores some practice state locally, uses analytics to understand site usage, may show advertising on selected content pages, and uses third-party services where needed for support, payments, and optional account flows.

What we collect

Practice progress and local storage

Practice answers, score history, page progress, theme preference, and related study-state data can be stored in your browser using local storage or similar browser storage so your daily practice does not reset every time you refresh.

Optional email and account flows

If you request a magic link, support response, or other optional account help, dotCreds may process your email address and related request metadata so it can send the requested message or connect progress across browsers.

Analytics

dotCreds uses analytics, including Plausible Analytics and site metrics instrumentation, to understand page views, feature usage, conversion behavior, and site health. These tools help prioritize content, improve the product, and investigate problems.

Server and network data

Like most websites, dotCreds and its service providers may receive technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, referrer information, timestamps, and request logs when you use the site.

Advertising and third parties

Advertising

dotCreds may display Google AdSense or other third-party advertising on selected informational pages. Ads are intentionally restricted away from practice-question flows, checkout surfaces, and similar interaction-heavy areas.

Cookies, web beacons, and ad delivery

Advertising partners and other third parties may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, similar technologies, and IP address information to serve, measure, and improve ads or content. Those partners may combine information collected on this site with information from other sites or apps according to their own policies.

Payments and subscriptions

Purchases or subscriptions may be handled by third-party platforms such as RevenueCat, Apple, Google Play, Stripe, or related service providers. Those providers process their own transaction and account data under their own terms and privacy policies.

External links

Practice pages and articles may link to official documentation and other external resources. When you follow an external link, the destination site’s privacy practices apply instead of this policy.

How we use information

Operate the website

Information is used to run the site, keep practice state working, deliver requested support, troubleshoot issues, and maintain the experience across pages and devices where optional account features are used.

Improve content and product decisions

Aggregate behavior data helps dotCreds decide which certification pages need better explanations, more supporting content, or product improvements.

Security and abuse prevention

Technical information may be used to detect spam, abuse, fraud, broken integrations, and service misuse.
