Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

First English Grade (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information may be collected when you visit FirstEnglishGrade.com, how that information may be used or shared, and the privacy rights and choices available to you.

First English Grade is an educational website covering English grammar, vocabulary, writing, and language usage. You do not need to create an account or provide personal information simply to read articles on the website.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit First English Grade, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically by the website and services used to operate, secure, measure, or improve it.

Depending on the service, your device, location, and privacy choices, this information may include:

• IP address;
• browser and device information;
• operating system;
• referring website or page;
• pages viewed;
• approximate location derived from an IP address;
• date and time of access; and
• interactions with website content and features.

This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, similar technologies, analytics tools, and third-party services.

How We Use Information

Information collected through First English Grade may be used to:

• operate and maintain the website;
• respond to messages and inquiries;
• understand how visitors use our educational content;
• improve website navigation, performance, and usability;
• maintain security and help prevent spam, fraud, or misuse;
• support analytics and website measurement;
• display advertisements and measure their performance; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations or lawful requests.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

First English Grade and services used on the website may use cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, tags, web beacons, and other identifiers.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed from your browser or device.

Depending on the service, your location, and the privacy choices you make, these technologies may support:

• website functionality and security;
• remembering privacy or consent choices;
• analytics and measurement;
• advertising and related measurement; and
• fraud and misuse prevention.

Some technologies are used for basic website operations, while others support analytics, advertising, or additional services.

You can generally manage, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting certain technologies may affect how some website features or third-party services function.

Additional privacy and consent controls may also be provided to visitors in certain regions, as explained below.

Google Analytics

First English Grade uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors find and interact with the website.

Google Analytics may process information such as page views, page URLs, referral sources, interactions, browser and device characteristics, approximate location, and IP-address-related information.

We use analytics information to understand which educational resources receive visits, how visitors navigate the website, and where improvements may be useful.

When Google services are used, your browser or device may send certain information to Google. The information processed depends on the relevant services, settings, and privacy choices.

You can learn more about Google’s data practices here:

How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services

Google also provides a browser tool that may help limit Google Analytics collection in supported browsers:

Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Where consent is required, the use of analytics technologies must take account of applicable consent requirements and the choices communicated through the relevant consent mechanism.

Advertising and Google AdSense

First English Grade uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements on the website.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to First English Grade or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its advertising partners to serve advertisements based on visits to this website and other websites on the internet.

Advertising providers may also use IP addresses, web beacons, and other identifiers for purposes such as ad delivery, measurement, frequency management, security, and fraud prevention.

Depending on your location, privacy choices, consent status, and applicable requirements, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Non-personalized advertisements may still use information such as the content of the page, general location, or information needed for ad delivery and related purposes.

Advertising Partners and Choices

Google AdSense may work with third-party advertising vendors, networks, and technology providers.

Where Google’s consent interface applies, information about participating providers and their processing purposes may be available through that interface.

You can find more information about participating advertising providers here:

Google Ad Technology Providers

You can manage Google’s advertising personalization settings through:

Google My Ad Center

You can also learn about opt-out options offered by certain third-party advertising providers through YourAdChoices.

Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily prevent advertisements from appearing. Advertisements may instead be based on factors such as the content you are viewing or your general location.

European Privacy and Consent Choices

First English Grade uses Google’s Privacy & messaging consent-management system for applicable advertising and privacy requirements.

For eligible visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google’s European regulations message provides privacy choices concerning certain cookies, advertising technologies, and related processing.

Depending on the processing involved, these choices may include:

• giving consent;
• declining processing that requires consent; and
• managing more detailed preferences.

The consent interface may also provide information about participating advertising providers and the purposes for which information may be processed.

These choices may affect advertising personalization, analytics, cookies, local storage, and other technologies, depending on the relevant services and configurations.

Where a privacy settings control is available on the website, you can use it to review or change your preferences. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to processing for which First English Grade is responsible, we rely on an appropriate legal basis for each processing activity.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include:

• Consent: For non-essential cookies, analytics, advertising technologies, or other processing activities where consent is required.
• Legitimate interests: Where appropriate for operating and securing the website, preventing misuse, maintaining functionality, or handling inquiries, provided those interests are not overridden by applicable individual rights.
• Legal obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements.

Handling a contact inquiry may involve processing necessary to respond to a request or take steps requested by the individual, depending on the circumstances and applicable legal basis.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Third-party providers may have separate responsibilities and legal bases for processing activities they undertake.

Service Providers and Sharing of Information

First English Grade uses third-party services to support its operation, security, communications, analytics, consent management, and advertising.

Depending on the service, providers may be involved in:

• website hosting and technical infrastructure;
• website security and performance;
• contact form processing and email delivery;
• analytics and measurement;
• privacy and consent management; and
• advertising.

These services may process technical, usage, or other information according to their functions, applicable agreements, and legal requirements.

Google provides services used by First English Grade, including Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Google’s consent-management functionality.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable laws, legal processes, or lawful requests;
• investigate suspected fraud, misuse, or security incidents;
• protect the rights, safety, or property of First English Grade or others; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Privacy laws in some jurisdictions use broad definitions of terms such as sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising.

These definitions may cover certain disclosures of identifiers or online activity to advertising providers, even when personal information is not sold in exchange for money.

Because First English Grade uses third-party advertising technologies, some advertising-related data processing may fall within these definitions where applicable law treats it that way.

Where applicable privacy laws provide an opt-out right, eligible visitors may use available privacy controls or contact us regarding their request.

International Data Processing

Google and other service providers used by First English Grade may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Privacy and data protection laws may differ between countries.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, relevant processing arrangements may rely on recognized mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, contractual safeguards, or other legally permitted measures.

The safeguards that apply depend on the provider, jurisdiction, and relevant processing arrangements.

Data Retention

We retain personal information under our direct control for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

For example, contact form correspondence may be retained as needed to respond to inquiries, manage related communications, address disputes, or meet legal and security requirements.

Technical information, analytics data, and advertising-related information may be retained according to the applicable service configurations, provider policies, and legal requirements.

Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the type of information and the service involved.

Your privacy rights may depend on where you live, the information involved, and whether a particular privacy law applies to First English Grade.

Additional rights, including data portability, may apply in certain circumstances.

U.S. State Privacy Rights

• request access to certain personal information;

The availability and scope of these rights vary by jurisdiction and may depend on legal thresholds, exemptions, and other conditions.

Third-Party Websites

First English Grade may link to dictionaries, educational resources, publications, reference materials, and other independently operated websites.

When you visit an external website, that website’s own privacy policy and practices apply.

We do not control how third-party websites collect, use, store, or share personal information.

We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps intended to protect information handled through First English Grade against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, online transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid submitting confidential or sensitive personal information through our contact form.

Children’s Privacy

First English Grade provides educational resources that may be useful to learners of different ages, including students, parents, teachers, and other English learners.

The website does not currently offer visitor accounts or public commenting features.

We do not intentionally request children’s personal information through account registration. However, visitors may voluntarily submit information through our contact form, and third-party analytics and advertising technologies may collect technical information when the website is accessed.

Children should seek assistance from a parent or guardian before submitting personal information through the website.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has submitted personal information to First English Grade, please contact us through our Contact page so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

Where children’s privacy laws apply to the website or its data processing, additional requirements and protections may be necessary.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website practices, services, technologies, advertising arrangements, or applicable requirements change.

When changes are made, the Last updated date at the top of this page will be revised.

Where required by applicable law, additional notice or consent may be provided for material changes.
