Your privacy
This policy explains how LAMTANS Consultants, part of the LAMTANS Group of Companies, uses the information you give us through this website.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry we collect your name, email address, optional phone number and the details you choose to share about your plans.
How we use it
Only to reply to your enquiry and to provide the consultancy services you ask for. We do not sell your information.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details for as long as needed to help you, and delete them when they are no longer required.
Your rights
You can ask us to see, correct or delete your information at any time by emailing hello@lamtans.com.
Our IELTS study tools
The IELTS practice tests, writing practice, speaking practice and study plan do not ask you to create an account or give your name. Your answers, drafts, plan and progress are saved only in your own browser, on your own device. We do not receive them, and clearing your browser data removes them. We also store your chosen language there.
AI feedback on your writing
If you press "Get AI feedback" on the IELTS writing practice page, the text of that answer, the task question and, for chart tasks, the chart data are sent to an AI service provider (Groq) so that it can write the review. The review is an estimate and not an official IELTS score. We do not store your answer or the review. The provider may process the text outside the UK, and its own privacy policy explains what it does with it. Please do not put personal details such as your name, address or passport number in your practice answers.
To apply the free limit we keep a random anonymous code in your browser, a count of the reviews used, and a daily count linked to a scrambled (hashed) version of your network address. These are not linked to your name or email address, and they are kept for up to about 13 months.
Speaking practice
If you use the microphone on the IELTS speaking practice page, your browser turns your speech into text using its own speech service. In some browsers, such as Chrome, your voice is sent to that service (for example Google) to do this. LAMTANS does not receive, record or store your voice. We receive the text of your answer only if you press "Get AI feedback" (see below). You can type your answer instead. The recording you can play back stays in your browser tab and is never uploaded.
If you press "Get AI feedback" on the speaking practice page, the text of that answer (typed, or turned into text by your browser) and the question are sent to our AI service provider (Groq) so that it can write the review. It cannot hear you and does not judge pronunciation. We do not store the text. This uses the same free review count as the writing practice.
