1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: directly provided by you, automatically through your interaction with the platform, and via secure transactional channels:

• Account & Registration Details: When you register for an account, subscribe to newsletters, or contact support, we collect your full name, email address, optional contact number, preferred academic class (e.g. Class 10 Madhyamik, Class 12 Higher Secondary), and examination targets (e.g. WBCS, WBPSC, SSC, Railways).
• Notes Purchase & Billing Data: When you purchase premium downloadable study notes, chapter modules, or mock test packages, we collect necessary billing details such as your billing name, email address, phone number, and transaction identifiers generated by payment gateways.
• Academic Progress & Mock Test Data: To provide custom dashboards, test analytics, and state-wide leaderboards, our systems record test attempt histories, time spent per question, accuracy metrics, and bookmarked chapter resources.
• Automated Technical & Log Data: Like most online services, our servers automatically log standard web technical data via Cloudflare and internal web server logs, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, date/time stamps, and page navigation patterns.

ExamUttoron.com offers digital educational notes and mock test packages through secure, certified third-party payment gateways (such as Razorpay, Cashfree, and authorized UPI payment aggregators):
