The details such as name, address, email address are filed in our database under the school's ID for which the student took the test. A report of all placement tests undertaken for a specific school are available only to the school admin account user, from their admin centre, after logging on.
A student record is created for each placement test user which can be viewed in full only by the school admin user. The school policy will dictate what they do with that data (perhaps contact the placement test applicant as a potential student, or send them school marketing info). The school may then decide to delete the data or change that public placement test user into a full student record.
