What we record

When you submit an answer, medtrainit records it. We use your answers to tell you whether they were correct, explain mistakes, give you suitable follow-up practice, and show how your progress is changing.

How medtrainit looks at your answers

When you get something wrong, medtrainit automatically works out what kind of mistake it was using a fixed set of rules written in advance. It then gives the explanation and extra practice linked to the answer you selected and works out how your progress is changing.

No generative-AI or machine-learning model reads your answer or writes feedback about you. Each answer option is linked in advance to feedback written or approved by our subject specialists. For the same question and the same content version, the same option gets the same predetermined feedback.

This is the main learning function of medtrainit and cannot be switched off while you use the platform. It does not decide your exam result or whether a university accepts you.

If you think medtrainit has got a mistake type wrong or your progress looks wrong, email connect@medtrainit.com and a person will look at it.

Advertising and the public website

Edtrainit may advertise medtrainit on public websites and may use Google advertising technologies on public marketing pages when the required cookie choice has been made.

Those advertising technologies are not used inside your logged-in learning pages. We do not send Google your answers, mistake types, progress, dashboard information or learning behaviour for advertising. We do not use your learning information to build advertising audiences.

Your progress panel

Your progress panel starts closed so a number is not sitting on your screen while you work. You can open it whenever you want and close it again. Opening or closing it only changes what you see. It does not stop medtrainit recording answers or working out progress, and it does not change what a parent or guardian can see where that access applies.

Who else can see this

If you are under 18, the parent or guardian who bought your account can see your progress dashboard. They can see topics you have worked on, the kinds of mistake recorded and how your progress is changing. They cannot see individual answers you gave, anything about you from outside medtrainit, or change your answers.

While this access is active you will see a message explaining that your progress dashboard is shared with the parent or guardian account holder. You can always see your own progress too.

If you are not happy about parent or guardian access

If you are worried about this access, email us privately at connect@medtrainit.com. We will not show the message to the account holder. We will look at the concern properly and can limit or end their access where that is the right thing to do, taking account of your age, wishes and best interests.

When you approach 18

When an under-18 account is set up, we are told the month and year in which you are expected to turn 18. We are not told your exact birthday. Automatic parent or guardian dashboard access ends at the start of that month. This can happen shortly before your actual birthday because we would rather stop automatic access early than let it continue after you become an adult.

If the month or year is wrong, tell us and we will correct it. You can also tell us at any time that you are already 18. When automatic access ends, you keep the rest of your access period and you decide whether to share your dashboard after that.

What we do not do

We do not sell your information, use your answers or progress for advertising, show your progress publicly, use your learning information for unrelated purposes, decide your exam result, or decide whether a university should accept you.

Your rights

You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct something that is wrong, ask us to delete information where the law allows, ask us to explain how information is used, or raise a concern or objection. You can contact us directly; you do not have to go through the person who bought the account.

If you want to complain

Email connect@medtrainit.comand say that it is a data-protection complaint. We will acknowledge it within 30 days unless we have already given you a full response, investigate it without undue delay and tell you the outcome. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK data-protection regulator.
