Last revised: September 19, 2026
1. Overview & Scope
At Prayaas Portal (accessible from https://prayaas-portal.vercel.app and https://prayaaskaro.in), accessible via web and mobile browsers, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Prayaas Portal and how we use and safeguard it.
This policy applies exclusively to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website regarding information shared and collected through Prayaas Portal. This policy does not apply to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
2. Information We Collect
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
A. Account & Registration Information
When you create an account on Prayaas Portal, we may ask for your contact information, including your full name, email address, and an encrypted password hash. We never store passwords in plaintext.
B. Response Sheet & Exam Performance Data
When using the Answer Key Score Calculator & Rank Predictor, users voluntarily provide their publicly viewable candidate response sheet URL. From this document, our automated parser extracts exam marks, correct/incorrect responses, category, exam shift, and participant roll number to calculate estimated scores and community percentiles. Raw response HTML is processed temporarily and discarded safely.
C. Direct Communications
If you contact us directly at contact@prayaaskaro.in, we may receive additional information such as your name, email address, the contents of your message, attachments, and any other information you choose to provide.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our exam testing platform and CBT simulation tools.
- Improve, personalize, and expand our educational articles and exam analysis features.
- Understand and analyze how visitors utilize our platform to optimize server performance.
- Compute community rank percentiles, answer key scorecards, and historical cutoff trends.
- Communicate with you for customer support, service updates, and security notices.
- Detect and prevent fraud, duplicate submissions, and automated crawler abuses.
- Comply with statutory legal obligations under applicable Indian and international regulations.
4. Log Files & Diagnostics
Prayaas Portal follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics.
The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and optionally the number of clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
6. Third-Party Advertising Partners
Some advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners include:
