Paid Assessments & Certificates

If you purchase a verified PDF certificate and detailed report after taking one of our language assessments, we collect and store the following data in compliance with GDPR and international data protection standards:

• • Data Collected: Your Full Name, Email Address, Country, and a complete record of your assessment answers (including timestamps for each answer).
• • Purpose of Processing: This data is strictly required to generate your personalized certificate, compile your detailed performance report, email these documents to you, and enable you to retrieve them later using your email address.
• • Data Retention: We store your certificate data and answer history securely for 12 months from the date of purchase. This allows you to retrieve lost certificates. After 12 months, your personal data and assessment records are permanently and automatically deleted from our database.
• • Payment Processing: Payments are processed securely via PayPal. We do not collect, process, or store your credit card or financial details on our servers.
• • Marketing Opt-out: Your email address is used exclusively for transactional purposes (delivering your certificate and receipt). You will not be added to any marketing or newsletter lists.
• • Right to Erasure: If you wish to have your certificate data deleted before the 12-month retention period expires, please contact us at info@cubbbix.com and we will process your deletion request promptly.

If you use our official Google Chrome Extension ("Cubbbix Tools"), please note the following specific privacy practices regarding the extension:

• • No Personal Data Collection: The extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or monitor any personally identifiable information, browsing history, or user activity.
• • Local Storage: Any preferences you set within the extension (such as "Favorite" tools or your recent tool history) are saved exclusively on your own local device using Chrome's local storage API. This data never leaves your computer.
• • Network Requests: The extension requires host permissions specifically and exclusively for https://cubbbix.com/*. This is used solely to securely fetch our static JSON tool directory feed to keep your extension's list of tools and blogs up to date.
