Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Test PYQ mobile app ("Test PYQ", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information. By using the app you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Account information: your name, email address, and sign-in method (email/password or Google Sign-In).
• Usage & learning data: your exam attempts, scores, bookmarks, feedback, disputes, streaks, and progress.
• Technical data: app usage and event analytics, crash diagnostics, and a device notification token (only if you enable notifications).

How we use your information

We use your data only to operate and improve the app — to run your dashboard, score your tests, track streaks and progress, deliver notifications you opt into, respond to your feedback, and diagnose crashes. We do not sell your personal data.

Service providers we share data with

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging) — hosting, authentication, storage, analytics, crash reporting, and notifications.
• Razorpay — payment processing for paid papers.
• Translation provider (MyMemory) — if you translate a question, its text is sent to a third-party translation service to return the translation.
• AI provider (Anthropic) — where optional AI study features are enabled, the relevant question or your typed query is sent to generate a response.

Payments

Paid papers are processed by Razorpay. We never see or store your full card or UPI details — Razorpay handles the transaction and returns only a verified payment confirmation, which our server validates before unlocking content.

Data storage & security

Your data is stored securely in Google Firebase. Access is restricted by server-side security rules so that only you (and our support admins, when needed) can read your records.

Data retention & deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account, which removes your profile and exam attempts from our database. Payment records may be retained where required for tax or legal reasons, no longer linked to your identity. You may also email us to request deletion.

Notifications

If you enable reminders, we use device notifications for daily practice and streaks. You can turn these off at any time in your device settings.

Children

Test PYQ is intended for exam aspirants and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.

Independent app

Test PYQ is an independent practice tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing UPSC, the Bar Council of India, or any government body.
