Consent for Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies or serving personalized advertising, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive.
- When you first visit the site, a consent banner allows you to consent, do not consent, or manage your choices for cookies and data processing.

- You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this site and revisiting, or via the privacy/consent controls provided on the page.

Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you additional rights over the personal information we collect. “Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your household.
In the preceding 12 months we have collected the categories of personal information described in Information We Collect above: identifiers (such as IP address, device identifiers, and your email address if you contact us), internet or other electronic network activity (such as pages visited, referring URLs, browser and device type, and interaction with advertisements), approximate geolocation (city/region inferred from IP address), and inferences drawn from that activity for advertising measurement. We collect this information directly from you and automatically through cookies and similar technologies used by us and by our advertising partners. We use it for the business purposes listed under How We Use Information, and we disclose it to analytics and advertising providers such as Google.
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. However, when third-party advertising cookies are used to serve personalized ads, that activity may be treated as a “sale” or a “share” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted without a right to limit.
Subject to verification, California residents may exercise the following rights:
- Right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the sources of that information, the business purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it.
- Right to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to the exceptions permitted by law.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination — we will not deny you service, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of service because you exercised any of these rights.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information in any of the following ways:
- Email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”.
- Enable a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in a browser or extension that supports it. We treat a GPC signal received from your browser as a valid opt-out request for that browser and device.
- Turn off ad personalization in Google My Ad Center, or opt out of participating third-party vendors at optout.aboutads.info.
- Block or clear advertising cookies for this site in your browser settings.
How to submit a request
To exercise your right to know, delete, correct, or limit, contact us at [email protected] or through our Contact page, and tell us which right you wish to exercise. We will verify your request by matching the information you provide against the information we hold, and may ask for additional information if we cannot verify you. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may ask for written proof of the agent’s authority and may still verify your identity directly. We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 days, extendable by a further 45 days with notice where reasonably necessary.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar services to measure traffic. You can opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-Party Links
Our content links to official government sources (including tnpsc.gov.in) and other educational resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Data Retention
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law.
Children’s Privacy
This site is intended for exam aspirants aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to object to processing, request data portability, restrict processing, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
