Privacy Policy

Welcome to GuruPrep (“we”, “our”, “us”). We operate the website guruprep.in. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using GuruPrep, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We collect different types of information depending on how you use the site:

a. Information you provide

• Contact form: name, email address, optional subject, and message content.
• Mock test attempts: answers, time taken, and score (stored locally in your browser; optionally on our servers without personally identifying you).

b. Information collected automatically

• Device & browser data (browser type, OS, screen size).
• Usage data (pages visited, referrer, timestamps, anonymous interaction events).
• Approximate location derived from IP address (country / region only, never street-level).

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve GuruPrep.
• Personalise your experience (e.g. remembering your preferred language).
• Respond to your support enquiries.
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• Generate aggregate analytics about how the platform is used.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We use cookies and browser localStorage to keep the site working and to remember your preferences:

• Essential storage — saves your in-progress mock test answers so a refresh won't lose your work.
• Preference storage — remembers your selected theme (light/dark) and language (en/hi/or).
• Analytics cookies — measure aggregate, anonymous site usage so we can improve the product.

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time from your browser settings. Doing so may reset your in-progress test attempts.

We use trusted third-party providers to host, monitor, and improve GuruPrep. These services may receive limited information necessary to perform their functions:

• Vercel — hosting & CDN.
• MongoDB Atlas — database hosting.
• Google services — fonts, analytics, AdSense.

Each provider's use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

We may serve ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.

GuruPrep is intended for users 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at guruprep.in@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion.
• Withdraw consent for processing.
• Object to certain types of processing.
• Lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email guruprep.in@gmail.com.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information — including HTTPS encryption, scoped API access, and least-privilege database credentials. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Please review this page periodically.
