Privacy Policy

01. Information We Collect (Data Catalog)

APEX MOCK collects several categories of personal, educational, and technical information to guarantee the platform operates securely and delivers accurate assessment metrics.

02. How We Process & Use Your Information

We use the acquired data based on absolute functional requirements and legitimate educational interests:

• Mock Series Administration: Generating test instances, compiling score records, and assigning customized student schedules.
• Adaptive Percentile Computations: Running statistical rank engines to calculate your precise nationwide percentile ranking among ten-thousand active aspirants.
• High-Speed Support Delivery: Pinpointing technical issues in test execution instantly via matching server-side transaction logs.
• Platform Maintenance: Running database queries to prune stagnant session logs and optimizing page load speeds using cache systems.

🛡️ 03. Strict Anti-Commercialization & Zero Data Selling Guarantee

Our Solid Commitment: APEX MOCK, as a non-profit-oriented initiative of SR Club, maintains a strict zero-data-selling guarantee. We do not sell, rent, lease, or license your personal information, test attempt performance logs, contact details, or performance reports to private coaching institutes, advertising brokers, or third-party educational commercial systems. Your data stays entirely private and is exclusively used to power your own analytics dashboard.

⚠️ 04. Academic Integrity & Anti-Cheating Monitoring

To preserve absolute national rank credibility during high-stakes mock test attempts, our testing engine executes local browser integrity checks:

05. Security Standards & Hashing Protocols

Data security is our primary priority. We defend all aspirant records using high-grade digital barriers:

• TLS 1.3 Transport Security: All client-to-server networks are encrypted via 256-bit Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security.
• Structured Firestore Security Rules: No user can read, edit, or access another student's profile information, billing reference, or rank records due to robust role-based firewalls.
• SHA-256 Signature Handshakes: Payment sequences and enrollment handshakes verify integrity using HMAC SHA-256 signatures to block middle-man injections.

06. Cookies, Local Storage & Pixels Matrix

We use modern cookies and local storage tokens to preserve session context and ensure fast navigations.

07. Third-Party Subprocessors

We transmit specialized variables to selected industry-standard subprocessors to orchestrate basic cloud hosting, payment infrastructure, and core authentication services:

08. Data Retention, Backup Lifecycle & Log Archival

We preserve personal data profiles only for as long as your aspirant portal is active.

• Active Portals: Retention persists throughout your educational life cycle (e.g. while actively preparing).
• Database Backups: System backups are maintained in cold storage with AES-256 encryption. Backup rotations are overwritten or purged every 90 days.
• Platform Log Audits: Inactive network log files are automatically compressed and destroyed after 12 months.

09. User Rights Portfolio (GDPR, CCPA & DPDPA Compliance)

Regardless of your residency, APEX MOCK implements a robust suite of data protections matching top international standards:

🛑 10. Account Deletion & Permanent Wiping Protocol

If you decide to cease your preparation, you can request full account deletion. We implement a clean data wiping workflow:

11. Children's Privacy (Under 18 Guidelines)

APEX MOCK is designed for secondary high school and college aspirants. We require users under 18 years of age to access the platform under the active guidance and consent of a parent or legal guardian. We do not deliberately solicit personal contact indexes from children under 13 without direct parent/guardian endorsement.

12. Governing Law & Arbitration Jurisdiction

All terms, data procedures, and compliance specifications outlined in this Privacy Policy are governed and interpreted under the active state and federal laws of India. Any litigation, dispute, or arbitration concerning user data handling or transaction validity falls exclusively under the legal courts of the city in which the executive office of the parent initiative, SR Club, is registered.

13. Amendments to This Privacy Policy

SR Club reserves the right to append, adjust, or alter these terms at any point. Major alterations (such as adjustments in processing scopes or subprocessor lists) are highlighted through visible alerts in your aspirant dashboard. Continued usage of APEX MOCK mock series after alerts constitute organic agreement to the updated clauses.
