Automated decision-making

Our “smart review” feature uses an algorithm to select review cards based on your past answers. This personalisation helps you focus on weaker areas. It does not produce legal or similarly significant effects. You can reset your review progress at any time from your dashboard.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data.
  • Erasure — Ask us to delete your personal data (you can also delete your account from the dashboard).
