1. Who we are
PrepX ("PrepX", "we", "us") runs this website, which offers free study notes for competitive exams in India. This policy explains what personal information we collect and how we handle it.
2. Information we collect
- Account details: your name, email address, mobile number and target exam, which you give us when you sign up. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
- Activity on the site: which notes you preview and download, so we can show your progress on your dashboard.
- Messages: anything you send us through the contact page or by email.
- Technical data: sign-in tokens, and small items saved in your browser (see "Cookies and browser storage" below). Our service providers may also process basic device and network data, such as your IP address, to keep the service secure.
We do not ask for your password in readable form. Passwords are handled by Google Firebase Authentication, and we never see them.
3. How we use your information
- To create and secure your account, and to verify your email.
- To show notes for your exam and your activity on your dashboard.
- To answer your messages and give support.
- To keep the website safe, fix problems, and improve it.
- To send you account emails, such as verification and password reset.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Who we share it with
We use trusted services to run PrepX. They process data on our behalf:
- Google Firebase (Authentication and Firestore database), which stores your account and profile.
- Google Drive, where the note files are stored. When you preview or download a note, your browser connects to Google.
- Google Fonts, which loads the website's fonts.
These providers have their own privacy policies. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of PrepX and our users.
5. Cookies and browser storage
We use your browser's storage for things the site needs to work: keeping you signed in, remembering your cookie choice, caching the list of notes for a short time to load faster, and counting failed login attempts to protect accounts. We do not use storage for advertising.
6. How long we keep your data
We keep your account information while your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we will delete your profile and account data, except where we must keep something to meet a legal duty.
7. Security
We use secure connections (HTTPS), verified emails, and database rules so that each user can only access their own profile. No online service can promise perfect security, so please use a strong password and keep it private.
8. Your choices and rights
You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, and you can withdraw your consent to us using it. To do any of this, email us at support email from the email address on your account.
9. Children
Many exam aspirants are students. If you are under 18, please use PrepX together with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian.
10. Links to other sites
Notes are hosted on Google Drive, and we may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above. If a change is important, we will tell you on the website.
