Terms of Service
Who we are
Practice iCST (icstpractice.com) is an independent practice website. You can reach us at [email protected].
Agreeing to these terms
By signing in or using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
What the site is
Practice iCST is an independent practice tool for the three iCST-style spatial reasoning tests. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the organisers of any test. Every example is made by the site; none is a real test question. Practising can help, but we cannot promise any result in a real test.
Your account
- You sign in with your Google or Microsoft account. Keep it secure; you are responsible for what is done with your account.
- An account is for one person. It can be signed in on one device at a time: signing in somewhere else signs out the first device.
- You can stop using the site at any time, and ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy).
Plans
The free plan gives a limited number of practice examples a day; it may be paused from time to time. Full access is currently given by invitation only. Paid plans are not on sale yet: before they are, these terms will be updated with prices, payment, cancellation and refund rights.
Fair use
Please do not:
- share your account, or try to get round the daily limits, the plans or the sign-in;
- collect examples from the site in bulk, by hand or with automated tools;
- copy, publish or sell the examples, tips, guides or pictures (see the copyright notice);
- disrupt the site or use it to break the law.
We may suspend or close an account that does any of these.
Feedback you send
The feedback form is anonymous. By sending a post you let us use it to improve the practice. Describe what the examples were like in your own words: do not copy real test questions, and do not share anything you agreed with a test organiser to keep confidential, or any personal details.
The site as it is
We work to keep the site running and the examples correct, but it is provided as it is, and it may change, pause for maintenance or stop. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, or for decisions you make based on your practice results. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and law
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version, and important changes will be shown on the site. These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland.
Privacy Policy
We keep as little about you as we can, and handle it in line with the GDPR. Practice iCST decides how your data is used (it is the data controller). For any question or request about your data, write to [email protected].
What we keep
- Your account: the e-mail address your Google or Microsoft account shares when you sign in, your plan, which sign-in currently holds the account, and when it was created. The sign-in service also keeps the details your provider shares with it (such as your name and picture).
- Daily counts: how many practice examples, reports and feedback posts your account used each day, so the daily limits work.
- Feedback posts: what you write in the feedback form, with the test it was about, the month you sat it (if you say) and the day it arrived. A post is saved without your account, e-mail or name; only the daily count above knows that you sent one.
- Technical logs: our hosting provider records requests (such as IP address and browser) to run the site and keep it secure.
What we do not keep
Your test and practice results are never sent to us: they stay in your browser while you are signed in, and are deleted from it when you sign out. We use no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
Cookies and browser storage
We only store what the site needs to work: your sign-in (in browser storage, and as a cookie so the server can check it before showing the test pages), your results while you are signed in, and your light or dark choice. As these are strictly necessary, we do not ask for consent to them.
Why we use it
- To give you your account and plan, and to keep it to one person and one device (to provide the service you signed up for).
- To keep the site secure, apply the daily limits and stop spam, and to improve the practice from anonymous feedback (our legitimate interests).
Who helps us
We do not sell your data or share it for marketing. These providers process it for us, only to run the site: Supabase (sign-in and our database), Cloudflare (hosting and security), and Google or Microsoft (the sign-in you choose, under their own privacy policies). Some of them may process data outside the European Economic Area, under safeguards the GDPR allows.
How long we keep it
Your account and its daily counts are kept until you ask us to delete them. Feedback posts, which are not linked to anyone, are kept for as long as they help improve the practice. Technical logs are kept for a short time by our hosting provider.
Your rights
You can ask to see the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to receive a copy, or to object to how we use it. Write to [email protected]; we answer within one month. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland (dataprotection.ie).
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and show important changes on the site.
