Privacy

You do not need an account

Assessments can be completed anonymously. If you give a name it is used to address your profile; if you give an email it is used only to send you a copy. Both are optional unless the institution running the assessment has chosen to require them.

What is stored

Your answers, the profile computed from them, and the time you spent. Your IP address is never stored: a salted, truncated digest of it is kept instead, which is enough to notice duplicate submissions without keeping the address itself. This is pseudonymous data rather than anonymous data, and it is protected and retained for a limited period.

Speech and listening data

For spoken questions, your browser sends microphone audio to Soniox over an encrypted connection for transcription. Zymmax stores the recording and recognised transcript in private storage with your answer. Soniox says real-time audio and transcripts are not retained unless a storage-based service is explicitly used, are not used to train its models, and are protected in transit and at rest.

Recognition confidence reflects how certain the transcription service is about the words it heard. Zymmax does not treat that confidence as pronunciation, fluency, or CEFR proficiency.

Who sees your profile

Anyone holding its link, and the notification list for the assessment you took. That is normally your teacher or the department running it. You can switch link sharing off from the profile page. If you entered a class code, whoever owns that class can also see it.

Your resume link

An in-progress attempt is identified by an unguessable code in its URL. Anyone with that link can continue and see the attempt, including saved audio, so treat it as private.

Removal

Ask whoever gave you the assessment to delete your submission. The profile, stored analysis, generated files, speech recordings, and recognised transcripts are removed with it.
