Privacy & your data

Written to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. In plain terms: you can use this site to practise without giving us anything at all, and an account exists only so your progress can be saved to you.

You can practise anonymously. The 10-question trial and GPAT practice require no account. For those sessions we write nothing to our database — not your answers, not your score.

What we collect, and only when

If you never sign in: nothing identifying you is stored. Questions are served and scored on our server and the result is returned to your browser; no record is kept.

If you create an account: your email address (from Google sign-in or the magic link), and the name and mobile number you enter during onboarding. The mobile number is used to reach you about exam-cycle updates if you opt in.

As you practise while signed in: your attempts — score, which questions were right or wrong, time spent — and a per-topic accuracy summary. This is what makes the analytics and weak-topic tracking possible; it is the entire reason the account exists.

If you report a question: the question, the reason you selected and any note you write. If you are signed in we store your user id so we can tell you when it is fixed. Reporting works without an account, and anonymous reports store no identifier.

Consent is opt-in, and optional

WhatsApp and email notification preferences are unticked by default. You can create an account and use everything without agreeing to either, and you can change them later in Settings.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
  • We do not use your answers or personal data to train AI models, and we do not send them to a third party for that purpose.
  • We do not run advertising trackers. Visitor counts come from Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not build a profile of you.
  • We do not ask for payment details, because nothing here is paid.

Where it is kept, and for how long

Data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) hosted in the ap-south-1 region, in India, and the site runs on Vercel. Access is restricted to the owner.

Your practice history is kept while your account exists, because its whole purpose is to show progress over time. Delete your account and it goes with it.

Your rights, and how to use them today

You can export everything we hold about you as a file, and you can permanently delete your account and its data. Both are self-service, no email required:

Go to Settings → Download or delete my data

You may also ask us to correct anything inaccurate, or withdraw a consent you previously gave.

Grievance officer

If something about your data is not right, contact the grievance officer — the site owner — at anil.dca.1@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 7 days. If a breach ever affects your data, we will notify affected users and the Data Protection Board as the Act requires.

Children

This site is built for candidates for a graduate-level recruitment examination and is not directed at children.

Changes

If what we collect changes, this page changes with it in the same release. Material changes will be announced on the site.
