IELTS Online Privacy Notice

IELTS online is not currently available in all countries, please check your local IELTS site to confirm availability.

Who we are – IELTS Owners

The IELTS Owners are the British Council, IELTS Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 84 008 664 766), (wholly owned by IDP Education Ltd) and Cambridge Assessment English (Part of the University of Cambridge).

This Privacy Notice describes how the IELTS Owners collect and use your personal information that we obtain when you register to sit an IELTS Online test. It is intended to provide further information on how your personal data is used and supplements any information the IELTS Owners may have already provided to you about how they will use your personal data. Some of the IELTS Owners’ activities will be carried out by IELTS UK Service Limited, which is a joint venture owned by the IELTS Owners.

Data shared amongst the IELTS Owners and subcontractors

The IELTS Owners may share any relevant information from your IELTS registration or the IELTS Online test with the other joint owners of the IELTS test for purposes such as administering the IELTS test and reviewing IELTS test results for statistical and fraud detection purposes.

The IELTS Owners may forward any enquiries you make to the other joint owners of the IELTS test where necessary and appropriate. The IELTS owners use third party subcontractors to provide parts of the IELTS services as detailed below. For these services it is necessary to share your information with these subcontractors in order for us to provide the IELTS test and associated services.

Snowflake – Data warehousing, including storing, cataloguing, and enabling analysis of data by IELTS.

Tableau – Data visualisation and reporting tool to enable the analysis of data by IELTS

Types of Information collected

IELTS Online Testing

If you apply to take, or have taken, an assessment service provided by, or through, the IELTS Owners we will collect personal details such as;

  • name,

  • postal and

  • email addresses,

  • date of birth, gender,

  • contact details,

  • languages,

  • country of nationality,

  • residency status,

  • education qualifications,

  • national identity card number,

  • passport details,

  • employment history occupation,

  • information required for visa application and professional memberships.

This will include copies of documents you provide to us as proof of identity – e.g. copies of your passport or national identity card, proof of citizenship.

In the case of individuals who have taken any test or assessment provided by, or through the IELTS Owners, results achieved by the individuals will also be held.

We may also hold sensitive information about individuals, including

  • medical information (which you may provide to obtain special consideration in relation to your testing) and

  • racial or ethnic origin (from information on your country of origin).

Some personal data, such as gender, may be used to ensure that Greeters, Proctors and Examiners are assigned to test takers in accordance with local laws and practices, where applicable.

We will also process biometric information of IELTS Online Test takers who provide a visual image of their face for identity verification purposes. The image taken at the beginning of the test will be used throughout the test to confirm that it is always the same person.

We will also conduct video, audio and screen recording during the test for proctoring purposes. Further information regarding online proctoring is provided below.

IELTS Online

Remote proctoring is used to ensure test integrity, to prevent malpractice, and for fraud prevention. The proctoring platform is provided by Inspera. Audio and video from your webcam and microphone, as well as a recording of your computer screen, is captured throughout all parts of the test for proctoring purposes.

The IELTS Owners use Zoom to support video and audio communications for the delivery of the Speaking component of the IELTS Online test.

For further information on how Zoom and Inspera approach data protection, please visit the privacy sections of their websites:

https://zoom.us/privacy

https://www.inspera.com/legal/privacy

Remote Proctoring

As IELTS is a high stakes test, all IELTS tests are subject to proctoring to ensure test integrity and prevent malpractice.

The use of remote proctoring is a condition of taking the IELTS test online. If you do not agree to this condition, the alternative is to attend an IELTS Test Centre.

IELTS works with a company called Inspera to provide the IELTS online platform, including remote proctoring services. You can find out more about Inspera’ s privacy practices on their website here:

https://www.inspera.com/legal/privacy

Remote proctoring is made up of two parts:

Pre-test identity checking

Before the test begins, you will be asked to present an approved form of picture ID. The greeter will match the facial image on the ID with the person in front of the camera for the test session. This is to ensure that the person taking the test is the same person that registered.

Test session

During the test we will record audio and video from your device’s camera and microphone and a capture of the screen of the device used for the test. You will also be asked to provide a 360° view of the room before the test begins. This is to verify that there is no one else present to assist you.

Your entire testing session is monitored in real time and recorded through your device. Audio and video of your face, voice and workspace will be captured.

These recordings are held securely within the Inspera test platform in Europe for a period of sixty days, after which they will automatically be deleted. They may be retained for longer if there are legal grounds to keep them, such as for ongoing investigations.

The remote proctoring system uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) software to monitor the audio and video from your device for suspicious or unusual behaviour that may indicate malpractice. If the software flags any behaviour as potentially suspicious, that report is reviewed by the human proctor monitoring your test session before any action is taken.

The software will flag the following behaviours for further investigation.

  • Unexpected noise – the systems will detect unusual noises that are picked up by your microphone. This is intended particularly to detect speech that is not coming from the test taker.

  • People entering or leaving the frame – whenever someone enters or leaves the frame during the test, the software will compare the facial image of the person entering the frame with the facial image on the ID submitted at the start of the test. If the images do not match, the software will flag the behaviour.

The recordings do not form part of the exam and do not influence your grade – they are only used to prevent malpractice, investigate fraudulent activities and to verify the identity of the person taking the test.

We may also use extracts from the recordings for the purpose of training the AI so that it continually improves its ability to distinguish faces.

Remote Speaking Test

For the Speaking part of the IELTS Online Test, the Zoom video conferencing platform will be used. A digital recording of the Speaking test will be made via Zoom. This recording will be stored temporarily within Zoom and transferred to our cloud storage in Singapore where it will be split into Audio and Video components. The recording will be not retained on the device you use to take the test. The video file will be retained for 3 months and the audio file for 3 years.

In other dealings with Owners

We may also collect personal details such as name, postal and email addresses, contact details, languages, nationality, education qualifications, occupation, and professional memberships if you:

  • register to participate in an event organised, managed or presented by the IELTS Owners, whether in its own right, or under contract for another organisation.

  • provide your contact information to receive information on the services we provide on IELTS and IELTS related product and services.

Purpose

We collect your Personal information to allow us to:

  • administer your IELTS Online test

  • protect test integrity and prevent fraud

  • improve the way in which IELTS Online is delivered

  • inform you of and provide you with information on the services we provide (including events and opportunities to participate in projects/programs)

  • use your information in an anonymous form, for informational, research, statistical and training purposes for the development of Cambridge Assessment English examinations

  • manage our internal business operations

  • respond to your questions

Legal basis for Processing your personal data

We will only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. The basis for processing your personal data varies depending on the activity we collected it for. In some occurrences, we may have more than one lawful basis for processing. The information below summarises the bases on which the IELTS Owners process personal information.

Contract

The IELTS Owners process personal data necessary for the performance of a contract for your IELTS Online Test. This includes, but is not limited to, IELTS registration, identity checks and test administration.

Legal Obligation

The IELTS Owners process personal data necessary to comply with legal obligations. This includes, but is not limited to, providing personal information to regulators, law enforcement agencies and statutory bodies.

Legitimate interest

The IELTS Owners process personal data to meet our legitimate interests as a global provider of the IELTS tests. This includes, but is not limited to, responding to general enquiries, supporting test takers, preventing fraudulent activity and improving our services.

Consent

The IELTS Owners process personal data where you have provided your consent to do so. Where the IELTS Owners are relying on your consent, for example, where your personal data is being used for marketing purposes, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

Special Category personal data (also known as sensitive personal data) processing

The IELTS Owners will process Special Category personal data under the following legal bases.

Explicit Consent

The IELTS Owners process personal data with your explicit consent when you provide a visual image of your face for identity verification purposes at the beginning of the IELTS Online test. We also carry out video, audio and screen recording during the test for proctoring with your consent. We may also process medical information with your consent if you provide it to support requests for special arrangements to be made in relation to your IELTS Online test.

Public Interest

In the case of Cambridge Assessments, the collection of your personal data in remote proctoring is required in the public interest to prevent test malpractice and to ensure test integrity, for the benefit of Recognising Organisations and the public in applying to Recognising Organisations.

Equality of opportunity monitoring

The IELTS Owners process special category personal data to monitor equality of opportunity provision. Any such outputs from this processing would be aggregated and not identify specific individuals. Special category data will only be shared on a strictly need to know basis in line with the individual IELTS Owner security policy.

Recipients of personal data

We also use other organisations to process your personal information to carry out services on our behalf. We use them to:

  • Provide customer service, surveys and marketing

  • Personalise our services

  • Process payments

  • Carry out fraud and other legal investigations.

Where we use another organisation, we make sure that your personal information is protected and remains in our control.

IELTS Child Protection Policy

IELTS believes that child protection requires everyone to take responsibility and that every child matters. We recognise that the care, protection and welfare of children are paramount and that all children have the right to be protected from all types of harm or abuse. This includes a responsibility to protect children from any harm or risk.

We aim to achieve this through compliance with all applicable child protection laws and by adhering to Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) 1989.

A child is defined as anyone who has not reached their 18th birthday (UNCRC 1989) irrespective of the age of majority in the country where the child is, or in their home country.

In relation to the management, recognition and administration of the IELTS test, IELTS is committed to:

  • Valuing, respecting and listening to children.

  • Ensuring all necessary checks are made when recruiting staff.

  • Maintaining strong child protection systems and procedures for staff.

  • Training its staff and providing a common understanding of child protection issues to inform planning and practice.

  • Protecting the data protection rights of children.

  • Sharing information about any concerns with the relevant agencies and involving parents and children appropriately.

  • Providing effective management for staff through clear processes, supervision and support.

We will provide adequate and appropriate resources to implement this policy and will ensure it is communicated and understood. IELTS will review this global policy statement annually to reflect new legal and regulatory developments and ensure good practice.

For more information, read the IDP IELTS Child Protection Policy document.
