Privacy statement
Effective 17 Sept 2026
We intentionally built this app so you can practice completely anonymously.
No Personal Details: We do not ask for your email, phone number, or social media accounts.
No Passwords: There is no account creation process.
No Photos: We do not require or ask for access to your camera or photo gallery.
Your Submissions: We process your daily 3-minute writing tasks to provide AI-generated feedback and to share on our community feed.
School Selection: If you select a school for the leaderboard, we only use this data to calculate total aggregate scores. Your individual name or nickname is never publicly linked to your school.
System Nicknames: We assign you a randomly generated nickname to track your daily streaks and place you on the leaderboard.
To ensure you stay completely anonymous on the public feed, our system automatically scans and filters out sensitive information—such as emails, phone numbers, and social media usernames—before your writing is saved or published.
You are in full control of your practice history.
You can wipe your entire slate clean at any time.
By tapping the Delete Data button in the app, all of your data is permanently and instantly erased from both your device and our servers.
Note: BandUp is an independent educational tool and is not affiliated with the British Council, IDP, or any official IELTS organization.
