Privacy Policy

Effective 2 August 2026 · applies to examchowk.com and the installable ExamChowk app.

1. Your eligibility profile stays on your device

The details you enter for the AI eligibility match — qualification, date of birth, category, gender, state, course and certificates — are saved in your browser's local storage on your device. Browsing the site never uploads them. Clearing your browser data deletes them completely.

2. Push notifications (optional)

If you tap 🔔 and allow notifications, we store on our server (Cloudflare KV, our hosting provider's storage):

• the anonymous push endpoint your browser generates (a long URL + cryptographic keys — it contains no identity),
• your notification preference (all updates / eligible-only / daily digest),
• and — only if you choose "eligible-only" alerts — a copy of your eligibility profile (the fields above; still no name, phone or email), because the filtering happens on the server.

Turning notifications off (🔕 in the app, or revoking permission in your browser) deletes the subscription and the profile copy with it.

3. What we count, anonymously

• Aggregate counters — total visits, devices and taps on features (via the Abacus counter service). These are plain number tallies: no cookies, no user IDs, no individual tracking.
• Cloudflare analytics — our host records aggregate traffic (country, device type, pages). Standard server logs include IP addresses, kept per Cloudflare's own retention.
• Google Analytics 4 — we use it to understand which pages students actually find useful and how they reached us (a Google search, our Telegram channel, a link on another site, or typing the address directly). It sets its own cookies to tell a returning visit from a new one, records the pages you view, roughly how far you scroll and which outbound links you tap, and derives an approximate city-level location. Google receives your IP address to do that but discards it without storing it — GA4 does not log IP addresses. We have not enabled Google Signals, advertising personalisation, or any ad remarketing, so this data is not used to target ads at you and is not joined to your Google account. We never send Google your name, email, date of birth or eligibility profile.

We run no Facebook pixel and no cross-site advertising trackers, and we set no advertising cookies ourselves. To opt out of Google Analytics on every site you visit, install Google's official browser opt-out add-on, or use your browser's "block cookies" / private-browsing mode.

4. Third-party services this site touches

• Cloudflare — hosts the site and API worldwide. Their policy.
• Google Fonts — the app's fonts load from Google's servers, which see your IP as with any file download. Google's policy.
• Google Analytics 4 — audience measurement, as described in section 3. Google's policy · how Analytics uses data.
• Official government websites — every listing links out to them; once you leave, their policies apply.

5. Ads and affiliate links (future)

ExamChowk currently shows no ads. If we introduce them, they will sit in fixed, clearly-labelled spots and never cover content. Ad partners such as Google AdSense may then use cookies to show relevant ads; this policy will be updated first, and any affiliate/course link will carry a visible label. You will never see fake download buttons here.

6. Local storage we use

Besides the profile: your saved-jobs list, theme choice, and small flags (e.g. "install banner dismissed"). All on-device, all removed by clearing site data.

7. Children

The site publishes public exam information suitable for all ages and knowingly collects no data from anyone, child or adult, beyond what is described above.

8. Your choices & contact

• Delete on-device data: clear this site's browsing data.
• Delete the server-side subscription: turn notifications off, or write to us.
• Questions or requests: examchowk.ai@gmail.com — see contact.

9. Changes

Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
