Privacy Policy
Updated 2026-10-24
Draft for review: this text is a plain-English draft and has not yet been checked by a lawyer. It may change before the app's public launch.
This policy explains what information nextED collects in the app (IELTS practice and study abroad), why, and the choices you have. In short: we use your data to help you prepare for IELTS and apply to study abroad, and we never sell it.
1. What we collect
We only collect what the app needs:
2. How we use it
We use your information to run your account, score your practice, give feedback, show your progress and study plan, send reminders you have switched on, and improve the app.
We do not use your essays or recordings for advertising.
3. AI providers
To score writing and speaking, your essay text or recording is sent securely to trusted AI service providers who process it on our behalf. They may only use it to provide that service to us, not for their own purposes.
The same applies to the study-abroad AI counsellor, course matching and scholarship checks, which use your study-abroad profile.
4. Where your data is stored
Your speaking recordings and practice history are stored in secure cloud storage. Some of these providers may keep data on servers outside Bangladesh; we choose providers that protect it with industry-standard security.
5. We don't sell your data
We never sell or rent your personal information. We only share it with the service providers that help us run the app (such as cloud hosting, SMS for verification codes and AI scoring), or when the law requires it.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open so you can see your history.
When you complete your profile, and again if you delete your account, we save a private copy of your account data and uploaded documents in secure storage. It is kept as a record, is not shown in the app and is never used for marketing.
When you delete your account, it and your personal data are removed from the app straight away. Your practice answers and speaking recordings are kept without your name, number or anything else that identifies you, to improve our IELTS scoring. Anything the law requires us to keep is kept for as long as it requires.
7. Your choices and rights
You can:
8. Security
We protect your information with encryption in transit, access controls and regular reviews. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and keep it private.
9. Young students
nextED is designed for students preparing for IELTS Academic and to study abroad. If you are under 18, please use the app with a parent's or guardian's permission.
10. Changes and contact
If we change this policy we will update the date above and let you know in the app about important changes.
