Privacy Policy
The short version: this website does not collect anything about you. The longer version is below.
What this website collects
Nothing. RCF English is a set of ordinary files served to your browser. It has no accounts, no login, no database and no server-side program that could record a visit.
In particular, this website does not use analytics or tracking scripts, does not use behavioural advertising, does not set advertising cookies or cookies of its own, does not ask for your name, email address or telephone number in order to read anything, and does not build a profile of you.
The site does carry paid educational listings and sells books and resource collections. Neither of those changes the paragraph above, and both are explained in the two sections that follow.
Sponsored listings
Tuition classes and courses run by other people can be advertised on this site as paid listings. Every one of them is clearly marked Sponsored, and paid listings are kept in their own section, never mixed into the free lessons or resources.
These listings are plain text and pictures written into the site. They are not served by an advertising network. Nothing about you is sent to an advertiser, no advertising cookie is set, and what you see does not change according to who you are or what you have looked at before.
RCF English does not endorse an advertiser by accepting a listing. Anything you arrange with one is between you and them.
Buying books, resources and advertising
Books, resource collections, advertising and class fees are paid for by bank transfer, arranged directly with RCF. The site shows you the account details and what to write on the transfer; your bank handles the payment, not this website.
No payment is processed here. There is no checkout, no payment gateway and no card processing. You will never be asked on this site for a card number, an online-banking password, a PIN, a one-time code or an identity-document number, and you should never enter one anywhere on it.
Because a static website cannot verify a deposit, every payment is checked by a person. You send the receipt through WhatsApp, and what you send in that message reaches RCF through WhatsApp rather than through this site.
Interactive activities
The quizzes and practice activities run entirely inside your own browser. Your answers and your score stay on your device, are not transmitted anywhere, and disappear when you close or reload the page. No one — including RCF English — can see how you answered.
Forms, WhatsApp and email
Because there is no server behind this website, the contact forms cannot send anything. What they do instead is write your message for you and hand it to WhatsApp or to your own email program, where you press send.
That means the message travels through WhatsApp or through your email provider, and their own privacy terms apply to it, not ours. Please do not include information in such a message that you would not want to share.
Any message you do send is used only to answer you.
Hosting and links to other websites
This website is published through GitHub Pages. Like any web host, GitHub processes the requests your browser makes in order to deliver the pages, and its own terms govern that processing. RCF English does not receive or keep any of it.
RCF English links to other websites — chiefly official examination sources, where a paper is linked rather than copied. Once you follow such a link you are on a different website, with its own privacy practices. Links that leave this site are marked, and open in a new tab. Some official Sri Lankan government sites are served over plain HTTP rather than HTTPS; where that is so, the link is marked. RCF Publications is not an external link: it is a section of this website.
Children
Much of this material is intended for school students. Since nothing is collected from anybody, nothing is collected from children either. No account can be created, and no personal detail is requested anywhere on the site. Purchases and class registrations are arranged by an adult through WhatsApp and a bank transfer, away from this website.
Changes and questions
If this policy ever changes, the new version replaces this page. If you have a question about privacy, or you would like a message you sent us to be deleted, please write to us through the Contact page.
