Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to Prashna Abhyas (the 'Service'). It explains the types of information we collect directly and automatically, how we use and share that information, and the choices you have. By using our Service you agree to the terms described here.

Information We Collect

We collect information to operate effectively and provide you the best experiences. Types of information we collect include:

• Account Information: name, email, password (hashed), profile picture, phone number (if provided).
• Payment & Prize Information: payment details or payout information when you purchase premium content or claim contest prizes (we do not store full card numbers).
• Usage Data: pages visited, features used, timestamps, device and network information.
• Content & Assessments: answers, scores, test results, contest entries and any content you submit.
• Communications: messages you send through support or contact forms, and newsletter signups.
• Location Data: coarse location derived from IP for regional content and analytics (only when permitted).

How We Use Your Data

We use personal data to provide, operate, and improve the Service:

• To create and manage your account, authenticate you and restore access.
• To deliver educational content, evaluate tests, display results and personalized recommendations.
• To process payments and award contest prizes.
• To send transactional messages such as account confirmations, password resets and important notices.
• To communicate marketing and promotional offers where you have opted in.
• To detect, prevent and investigate security incidents and fraud.
• To comply with legal obligations (for example tax or anti-fraud laws).

Cookies, Tracking & Analytics

We and our partners use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing and usage to improve the Service and show relevant content. This includes:

• Strictly necessary cookies for authentication and security.
• Performance cookies and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) to measure usage.
• Advertising cookies to show relevant ads and measure campaigns.

You can control cookie settings via your browser; however disabling certain cookies may reduce functionality.

Third-Party Services & Integrations

We work with trusted third parties to provide hosting, payments, analytics, email delivery, and other services. Examples include cloud hosting providers, analytics platforms, email service providers and payment processors. These third parties only receive the data necessary to perform their services and are bound by contract to protect it.

Social Login & Sharing

If you use third-party login (Google, Facebook, etc.) we receive the information those providers share (typically name, email and profile picture). When you share content to social networks, the social network’s privacy policy applies.

Contests, Prizes & Public Profiles

Contest entries, leaderboard names and public profile information may be displayed to other users. Prize winners' basic information (name and city) may be published for winner announcements when required. We will request explicit consent before publishing any additional personal details.

Data Retention & Deletion

We keep personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service or to comply with legal obligations. Account data, submitted content and test results are retained to allow you to access your history and progress. You can request deletion of your account and personal data; certain records (e.g., transaction logs) may be kept for legal or audit purposes.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access control, and routine security reviews. However no system is completely secure — if a security incident affects your data we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it and terminate the account.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Rectification: correct inaccurate personal data.
• Deletion: request deletion of your personal data (subject to retention obligations).
• Portability: receive your data in a commonly used format.
• Opt-out: stop marketing communications and certain profiling.

To exercise any right, contact us at the email address below. We will verify requests and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

International Transfers

Data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to protect transfers of personal data across borders.

Legal Basis (EEA/GDPR)

For users in the EEA, we process personal data under legal bases including consent, contract performance, legal obligations, and legitimate interests (for platform improvements and fraud prevention).

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under CCPA/CPRA, such as the right to know, delete and opt-out of sale of personal information. To submit a request, contact us using the details below and include 'CCPA Request' in the subject.
