Introduction
This article covers our GDPR/privacy policy and the technical requirements for Boost Insights and the Boost Insights test taker app, which is used for our interactive tests.

We strongly recommend that learners take their interactive tests in a private/incognito window. This is to prevent the browser cache from interfering with the tests.
GDPR/Privacy Policy
You can find Hodder Education's GDPR/privacy policy here.
There is a dedicated section that can be shared with your learners under the sections titled 'Children's use of our services' and 'What personal data we collect about you'.
Links to the privacy policy can also be found in the footer across Boost Insights and on the log in screen of the test taker app.
Regarding test data, please note that we have a retention policy in effect in Boost Insights. In summary, if a learner is inactive, then their data will be anonymised and no longer available for you to view. A learner is considered inactive when no test is added for over 2 years, or 3 years for our ART/AMT test suites.
