Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
GKSolver ("we", "us", "our") operates the website gksolver.in. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials (processed via Google OAuth or email/password). We do not store passwords directly — authentication is handled by secure third-party providers.
Usage Data: We collect anonymised usage data including pages visited, time spent, features used (bookmarks, practice questions attempted), and device/browser information. This is collected via Google Analytics.
Preferences: Your language preference (English or Hindi), bookmarked topics, and reading progress are stored to provide a personalised experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the platform — serving content, saving your progress, and enabling features like bookmarks and revision.
- To improve the platform — understanding which content is most useful, identifying bugs, and prioritising new features.
- To communicate with you — responding to feedback or support requests. We do not send marketing emails.
3. Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use GKSolver. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised data about page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
We also use essential cookies for authentication (keeping you logged in) and storing your language preference. These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function.
On your first visit, we show a cookie consent banner and do not load non-essential analytics or advertising cookies until you accept. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for gksolver.in.
4. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors
GKSolver uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements on the website. Google AdSense and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to GKSolver and other websites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. These cookies may be used to show you personalised advertising or non-personalised advertising, depending on your consent and your regional privacy laws.
Opting out of personalised advertising: You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page at google.com/settings/ads. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. For more information about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, please visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We do not control the content of third-party advertisements and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any advertisers whose links you click.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
We share data only with service providers that are necessary to operate the platform:
- Google — for analytics (Google Analytics), advertising (Google AdSense), and authentication (Google OAuth)
- Hosting provider — for serving the website and API
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and associated data, contact us at gksolver@ignousolver.in and we will process your request within 30 days.
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, secure authentication via OAuth providers, and access controls on our databases. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
GKSolver is an educational platform open to users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
9. Your Rights
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You can update your account information at any time.
- Deletion: You can request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Opt-out: You can disable cookies in your browser settings to opt out of analytics tracking.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of GKSolver after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
