We use WordPress to power our website. By default, WordPress does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. However, we use Google Analytics that collects some data related to the user’s interaction on our website, but no personal data like name and email address.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
We save and publish your comment(s) on our website. Sometimes simple tips provided by a visitor can help a thousand others. You are, however, free to reach us anytime and request for a comment deletion (considering that the comment was written by you). Reach us at info@ielts-gt.com to submit a comment removal.
We moderate comments before publishing and filter out the spam comments.
You need to provide your name and email address to make a comment. Your website URL is optional while making a comment. If you tick mark “Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.” while commenting, your credential for making a comment is saved and you do not need to rewrite your name and email. However, this option is by default un-ticked.
We do not request visitors to upload any media file on our website. However, if you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Our contact form is located at https://www.ielts-gt.com/contact where we have put our email address and a form that you can use to send us an email. The email you send using this contact form is accessible only by our team and we do not share your email address with anyone else. After we reply to your email, we periodically remove those emails from our server.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
We use “Google Analytics” as the Analytics and Statistics solution for our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google Inc. that tracks and reports website traffic for our website www.ielts-gt.com. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
We do not get your name or email address via our Google Analytics tracking.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

We get some of your data like name, email address, website URL etc. from the comments you make on our website using the article commenting feature or from the emails you sent us via the contact us form from our website.

We DO NOT share your personal data that we collect from the comment feature and from contact forms with anyone else other than our own team.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

We do not send your data to any third party so that they can track you. We save your comments on our server and delete them upon valid requests. We periodically remove all the old emails from our mail server.
It is worth noticing that, visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service with the sole purpose of detecting spam comments from an original one. We do NEVER sell our users’ personal information.
This feature is available to visitors so that they can search for something they are looking for from this website.
Any of the visitor-chosen search filters and query data in order to process a search request is used and stored. however, this does not track who searches for what.
To initiate and process subscriptions on our website, we use subscriber’s email address and the ID of the post or comment (depending on the specific subscription being processed).

This server data is used for the exclusive purpose of monitoring and preventing abuse and spam.

– Limit the information that you provide while sending an email or to make a comment.
– Limit access to information on your mobile device.
