Privacy Policy

Pareeksha (“Pareeksha”, “we”, “us”) operates the website pareeksha.in and the mock-test and study services offered on it. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have over it. We follow India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

1. Data we collect

• Account data. When you sign in with Google, we receive and store your name, email address and profile photo. We never receive or store your Google password.
• Learning data. Your test attempts, answers, scores, saved questions, referrals and progress, which is what powers your dashboard and percentile.
• Payment data. When you purchase access, payments are processed by Razorpay. We store the order reference, amount, status and plan. We do not store your card, UPI or bank details. Those are handled entirely by Razorpay under PCI-DSS.
• Technical data. IP address, device/browser type and pages viewed, used for security, rate-limiting and to improve the product.
• Analytics & cookies. With your consent, we use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate usage. You can decline non-essential cookies via the consent banner.

2. How we use your data

To provide and personalise the service (your dashboard, scores and access), process payments, keep the platform secure, respond to support requests, and, only with consent, measure aggregate usage. We do not sell your personal data to anyone.

3. Sharing

We share data only with processors who help us run the service: Google (sign-in), Razorpay (payments), our hosting and database providers, and analytics providers you have consented to. Each processes data on our instructions. We may disclose data if required by law.

4. Retention

We keep account and learning data for as long as your account is active. Payment records are kept as long as required by Indian tax and accounting law. You can ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time.

5. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you may access, correct, or delete your personal data, and withdraw consent for non-essential processing. To exercise any of these, email us at admin@pareeksha.in and we will respond within a reasonable period.

6. Security

Sessions use secure, HTTP-only cookies. Traffic is served over HTTPS. Access to production data is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.

7. Children

The service is intended for exam aspirants. If you are under 18, please use Pareeksha with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

8. Changes & contact

We may update this policy; the “last updated” date will change accordingly. Questions or requests? Email admin@pareeksha.in.
