1. Introduction
Welcome to IB Interview Questions ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. It applies to this website only and not to our mobile application, which is covered by a separate app privacy policy.
The data controller responsible for your personal data is Alexis Lentati, an independent sole proprietor based in France. You can reach us using the contact details at the end of this policy.
This website displays third-party advertising (including Google AdSense) and uses analytics. Because we serve visitors in the European Union, we handle personal data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit the site, cookies and similar technologies (used by us and by the third-party services below) may collect:
- Usage and analytics data: pages visited, time on site, referring page, and approximate (city-level) location, collected through Google Analytics 4
- Device and browser information: browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language
- Advertising data: cookie identifiers and similar data used by Google and other advertising partners to select and measure the ads you see, where you have consented
Information You Provide
This website has no contact forms, account registration, or newsletter signup, so we do not ask you to submit personal information directly. Downloading our free PDF guides does not require you to provide any information. Note that, even though we collect nothing through forms, the analytics and advertising cookies described below still process personal data such as cookie identifiers and device information.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the data collected to:
- Improve website performance and user experience
- Understand which content is most valuable to users
- Fix technical issues and optimize site speed
- Analyze traffic patterns to better serve our users
- Display advertising that helps fund the site, and measure how those ads perform
4. Cookies and Your Consent
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential cookies: required for the website to function and load correctly
- Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics 4 to help us understand how the site is used
- Advertising cookies: set by Google and other advertising partners to serve and measure personalized and non-personalized ads
Before any analytics or advertising cookies are placed, we ask for your consent through our cookie consent banner, a Google-certified Consent Management Platform. Essential cookies do not require consent because the site cannot work without them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the banner, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
5. Advertising
This website uses Google AdSense and may work with other advertising partners to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in several ways:
- Turn off personalized ads from Google through Google Ads Settings
- Opt out of personalized advertising from participating vendors in the EU via Your Online Choices
- Opt out across participating vendors via the Digital Advertising Alliance tools at aboutads.info
For more detail on how Google handles data when you use sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
6. Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics 4 collects event-based usage data and device information, and it derives an approximate (city-level) location from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and it does not offer the IP-anonymization setting that existed in the older Universal Analytics. You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by declining analytics cookies in our consent banner or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
7. Third-Party Services
- Netlify: website hosting and content delivery (serves the pages you view)
- Google Analytics 4: website analytics
- Google AdSense: display advertising
- App Store and Google Play: outbound links to download our app (no data is shared with them from this site)
8. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent: for analytics cookies and advertising cookies, which are only set after you agree through our consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time
- Legitimate interests: for essential cookies needed to deliver and secure the website
9. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Analytics event data in Google Analytics 4 is retained for up to 14 months and is then automatically deleted by Google. The main Google Analytics cookie (_ga) can remain on your device for up to 2 years unless you delete it sooner. Advertising cookies set by Google and its partners are retained for the periods defined by those providers, and you can remove them at any time through your browser or the opt-out tools above.
10. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers, including Google and Netlify, are based in the United States, so your data may be transferred outside the European Union. Where this happens, those transfers are covered by safeguards approved under the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
11. Data Security and Sharing
- We use SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted to and from this site
- We do not run contact forms or accounts, and we do not store your personal data on our own servers. The third-party analytics and advertising services described above collect and process data (such as cookie identifiers, device information, and approximate location) on their own systems
- We do not sell your personal information for money. However, when you consent to advertising cookies, advertising partners (including Google) receive and process data such as cookie identifiers and browsing activity to serve and measure ads. Under laws such as the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act, this can be considered "sharing" of personal data for targeted advertising
12. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data held about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request portability of your data
- Withdraw your consent to analytics and advertising cookies at any time
- Disable cookies in your browser and opt out of Google Analytics and personalized advertising using the tools above
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. If you are in the European Union and believe your data has been handled improperly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In France, this is the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertes (CNIL).
13. Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Check the "Last updated" date above for the latest version.
