Use of Information by ITSC GROUP
ITSC GROUP employs personal data in various research activities aimed at improving educational outcomes and test fairness. Research might analyze how distinct test-taker demographics, such as non-native English speakers, respond to certain questions. ITSC GROUP's educational software also collects information to enhance understanding and development of reading skills. These efforts are foundational to our commitment to equitable testing, ensuring exams are accessible and free from bias, while also advancing educational practices.
?For research, ITSC GROUP ensures personal data is utilized in ways that maintain anonymity. We diligently work to either eliminate or obscure personal details within the data wherever feasible, preparing it so that it lacks any identifiers linked to individuals. This approach allows us to maintain a strict division between personal information and research data, a standard upheld both internally and in collaboration with external partners. Consequently, the insights derived from our research are free of personal identifiers, guaranteeing that the information is never used for targeting or profiling individuals.

Protecting Children's Privacy
ITSC GROUP adheres to stringent practices for managing data from children under 16, aligning with relevant legal standards. Our digital offerings, including websites and test registration systems, are not designed for this age group, and we do not intentionally gather their personal data without proper authorization. Accounts for children under this age, primarily for test registration purposes, are usually set up by parents or schools, who must provide consent in line with this Privacy Notice's provisions. We advocate for active parental or educational supervision during children's online engagements.
?In instances where ITSC GROUP collects data from children under 13 through educational applications aimed at improving reading skills, such collection is limited to necessary information like the child's name or nickname, age or grade level, and some demographic details provided by a responsible adult. These apps may also process audio recordings or answers to comprehension questions, strictly for the app's educational purpose, without capturing any other personal data. Furthermore, ITSC GROUP ensures the anonymization of data collected through these applications to prevent any identifiable research use and prohibits any public sharing of data by children within these apps. Identifiable information is not retained, and no identifying data is linked to research activities.
?Parents and educators hold the right to review, amend, or delete the child's data within these applications and can halt further data collection by uninstalling the apps. For any concerns or queries regarding how ITSC GROUP manages children's information, please get in touch via webmaster@g-telp.com or at 1-833-949-4911.
