We collect your email address and chapter progress to run your account. We store passwords only as a hash — we cannot read your password. Your data is stored in the UK, is never sold, and is used only for your own account and for anonymised educational research. You can ask us to delete your account at any time by email.
Go Berserk is an online HTML coding curriculum produced by Imphora Limited, a company registered in the United Kingdom.
We are the data controller for the personal data processed through this service. This means we decide what data is collected and how it is used. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

We collect the minimum personal data needed to provide the service. The table below sets out exactly what we collect, why, and the UK GDPR lawful basis for each.
| Data collected | Why we collect it | Lawful basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address | To create and manage your account and allow you to log in | Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR) | We use your email address as your account identifier. We do not use it for marketing. |
| Password | To let you log in securely | Contract performance | We never store your actual password. It is converted to a cryptographic hash before storage. We cannot read or recover your password from our database. |
| Chapter completion and progress data | To show you your own learning progress through the curriculum | Contract performance | This data is yours. It is used only to display your progress in the app. It is not shared with third parties. |
| Email address patterns (anonymised analysis) | To understand how different types of users engage with the curriculum, for the purpose of educational research and platform improvement | Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) | We may analyse whether email addresses come from school, college, or teacher-training domains to classify user types at a group level. This produces anonymised, aggregated results only. No individual is identified in any research output. See Section 5. |
We do not collect your name, date of birth, phone number, home address, or payment information.
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and all associated data at any time — see Section 8 below. There is no minimum account period.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account data (email address) | Retained while the account is active. Deleted within 5 working days of a deletion request. |
| Hashed password | Deleted with the account. |
| Chapter completion and progress data | Retained while the account is active. Deleted with the account. |
| Aggregated anonymised research data | Research findings describe groups of users, not individuals, and do not contain personal data. They are not subject to deletion requests as they do not identify anyone. |
| Backup data | Backups may retain data for up to 30 days after a deletion request. After that period, your data is fully removed from all systems. |
We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We do not share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:
No other sharing occurs. Your chapter completion data is yours and is not accessible to your school, teacher, or any third party through this platform.
Note for schools: If your school or local authority requires access to pupil progress data through Go Berserk, this would constitute a separate data sharing arrangement and would need to be covered by a Data Sharing Agreement between your school and Imphora Limited.
We are involved in educational research to understand how coding is taught and learned in different school settings. As part of this research, we may analyse patterns in account email addresses — for example, whether an address comes from a school, a teacher training college, or another educational institution — to classify users into broad groups such as primary pupils, secondary pupils, teachers, or trainee teachers.
This classification is carried out by us on our own database. It is not shared with third parties in any form that identifies individuals.
Any research we publish, present, or use to support educational decisions:
Our lawful basis for this analysis is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). We have a legitimate interest as an educational publisher in understanding how different types of users engage with our curriculum, and in contributing to the evidence base for computing education in schools. We have assessed this interest against your right to privacy and concluded that it does not override your interests, because the analysis produces only anonymised group-level results and does not have any impact on individual users.
You have the right to object to this processing at any time. If you object, we will stop analysing your email address for research classification purposes. Contact us at privacy@go-berserk.com to object.
We take the security of your data seriously. The following measures are in place:
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we apply industry-standard practices appropriate to the type and volume of data we process.
If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the ICO as required by UK GDPR (Articles 33 and 34).
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
| Your right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Right of access | You can ask us to tell you what personal data we hold about you and provide you with a copy. We will respond within one calendar month. |
| Right to rectification | You can ask us to correct inaccurate data we hold about you. |
| Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten') | You can ask us to delete your account and all associated personal data at any time. Email us at deletion@go-berserk.com and we will confirm deletion within 5 working days. |
| Right to restriction | You can ask us to pause processing your data while a complaint or query is resolved. |
| Right to object | You can object at any time to our processing of your email address for research classification purposes (see Section 5). We will stop that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds. |
| Right to data portability | You can ask us to provide your chapter completion data in a machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) so you can transfer it elsewhere. |
| Automated decision-making | We do not use your personal data for any automated decision-making or profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects on you. |
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@go-berserk.com. We will respond within one calendar month and will not charge you for reasonable requests.
We may need to verify your identity before we can respond to a request. We will ask for the email address associated with your account.
You can request deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time.
After deletion, your email address, password hash, and chapter completion data will be permanently removed from our active systems. Backup systems may retain data for up to 30 days after your request, after which it is fully removed.
Note: aggregated, anonymised research data — which does not contain your email address or any personal data — is not affected by account deletion, as it does not identify you.
Go Berserk is used in primary and secondary schools, including by children under 13. We collect the minimum data necessary. We do not collect names, dates of birth, or any data beyond what is described in Section 2.
Where Go Berserk is used in a school setting, the school is responsible for:
If you are a pupil and want to know what data we hold about you, you can ask your teacher or a parent or guardian to make a request on your behalf using the contact details in Section 7.
If you are a parent or guardian and want to request deletion of data relating to your child, please email deletion@go-berserk.com and include your child's account email address in your request.
If a teacher or school administrator created a Go Berserk account using your email address on your behalf, this notice applies equally to your data. You have the same rights as users who created their own accounts. The data we hold about you is the same as described in Section 2, and you can request access, correction, or deletion using the contact details in Sections 7 and 8.
We will update this notice if our data practices change. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this document. Where changes are material, we will notify you by email if we hold an active email address for you.
The current version of this notice is always available at go-berserk.com/privacy.
