Privacy & terms

Last updated 8 November 2026. Written in plain language. Questions: hello@climbvale.com.

What we collect

• When you take the exam: your name, your email, your answers, your score and the time you took it.
• If you pass: a certificate with your name, score, date and certificate ID.
• If you sign up for updates: your email and where you signed up.
• If you report a question: the question, the reason you chose and any note you wrote. Reports are not linked to your name or email.

Free practice collects nothing. We use no advertising and no tracking cookies. Your browser stores an exam in progress, so a page refresh doesn't lose your answers. That copy is deleted when you submit.

Why we use it

• To run the exam, grade it and issue your certificate.
• To limit retakes: your email is how we count attempts per day.
• To publish an overall pass rate. This is a single number with no names.
• To send updates, only if you asked for them. Every email has a one-click way to stop.

We never sell your data and never share your email.

What is public

A certificate is meant to be shared. Anyone with its ID or link can see the name, exam, score, date and ID on it. Your email and answers are never shown.

Where it's stored

The website is hosted on GitHub Pages. Exam data is stored in a database run by Supabase. Both providers keep their own technical logs, such as IP addresses, to run and secure their services.

Your choices

• Ask us to see, correct or delete your data, or to remove a certificate. Email hello@climbvale.com from the address you used.
• Stop updates at any time with the link in any email, or by writing to us.

Exam rules

• Take the exam yourself, without help from other people or AI tools.
• Use your real name. A certificate is for the person who earned it.
• Don't copy, publish or sell the exam questions.
• We may cancel a certificate if an exam breaks these rules.

What a certificate means

A Climbvale certificate shows that you passed our timed exam on the date shown. It is not an academic degree, a government-recognised qualification or a professional licence.

The service

The exam and practice are free. We work hard to keep the questions accurate and fair, but the content is general guidance, not legal, medical or financial advice. We may update the exam, these terms or this page. When we do, the date at the top changes.
