Privacy Policy

1. Information we do not collect

• No account data: we never ask for your name, phone number, email address, postal address or password to use tests or study material.
• No payment data: everything on ExamAdda is free. We do not collect card numbers, UPI IDs or bank details.
• No identity-linked test records: we store your test responses to show results and analysis, but only under a random session code, never with your name, email or phone number (see Section 2).

2. Personal data we process and why

Although you never create an account, some technical details are processed automatically. Under Indian law, details such as an IP address can count as personal data, so we list them here.

We do not sell, rent or trade any of this data, and we do not add your email to marketing lists.

Test responses. When you submit a test, your selected answers, time spent per question and score are sent to our server and stored in our database. We use them to show your result and test analysis, and in aggregate to improve questions (for example, finding questions most aspirants get wrong). Each attempt is saved with a random code generated for your browser session. This code is not shown to you and is not linked to your name, email or phone number, so we cannot tell who took a test. While a test is in progress, the timer and question palette are kept in your browser's localStorage and sessionStorage.

3. Cookies and browser storage

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking advertising or analytics cookies will not stop you using ExamAdda.

4. Google AdSense and Google Analytics

Advertising. ExamAdda uses Google AdSense to show ads that keep the platform free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to ExamAdda and/or other sites on the internet. These may be personalised ads, based on your interests as inferred by Google from your browsing, or non-personalised ads, based only on general context such as the page you are viewing. Google also uses cookies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention.

• How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps
• Opt out of personalised advertising: Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info
• Visitors from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are shown a consent message before any advertising cookies are set.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site, for example which exams and topics are popular and when traffic peaks. Google Analytics collects device, browser, approximate location (city level) and usage information through cookies. It does not log or store full IP addresses, and we do not use it to identify individual visitors.

• Opt out of Google Analytics on all sites: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Google processes this data under its own Privacy Policy.

5. Where your data is stored and who we share it with

ExamAdda is hosted by BigRock, and our website and server logs are stored on servers located in India.

We share data only with the service providers needed to run the site:

Google may process data on servers outside India under its own policies. We may also disclose data where required by law, a court order or a lawful request from a government authority.

6. How long we keep data

We may keep data longer only where the law requires it.

7. Children

ExamAdda is used by students and aspirants of all ages, including some under 18. Because we cannot know a visitor's age, we treat all visitors with the same protections:

• We do not ask for or knowingly collect personal details such as names, phone numbers or email addresses through the site.
• ExamAdda itself does not track visitors or build behavioural profiles. Our content is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly target ads at anyone under 18. Google does not show personalised ads to users it knows to be under 18. Any visitor can turn off ad personalisation through the links in Section 4.
• If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian before emailing us. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent us personal data, they can write to the Grievance Officer and we will delete it.

8. Security

All traffic between your browser and examadda.in is encrypted with HTTPS (SSL/TLS). Access to server logs and stored test responses is limited to the people who run the site. In-progress test data kept in your browser is protected by keeping your own device and browser secure.

If a personal data breach affects you, we will inform you and the Data Protection Board of India as required by the DPDP Act and Rules.

9. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act, 2023 you can:

• Access: ask what personal data we hold about you (in practice, any emails you have sent us).
• Correction and erasure: ask us to correct or delete that data.
• Grievance redressal: raise a complaint with our Grievance Officer (Section 11).
• Nomination: nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf in case of death or incapacity.

To use any of these rights, email the Grievance Officer from the address you used to contact us, so we can verify the request. Because we hold no accounts, we cannot link server logs, analytics data or test responses to you by name. For the same reason, we cannot find or delete one person's test attempt on request; all stored responses are deleted on the schedule in Section 6. Clearing site data for examadda.in removes the copy kept in your browser.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest version. For significant changes, such as a new type of data collected, we will also place a notice on the home page.
