Privacy Policy & Data Protection

When registering an account or attempting mock tests on krishivines.com, we collect:

• Candidate Profile: Full name, verified email address, role, and optional phone number.
• Target Academic Interests: Selected entrance stream (UG Entrance, PG Masters, PSC Loksewa, NLEV) and target boards/universities (AFU Rampur, TU IAAS, PU, MWU).
• Exam Submissions & Performance Telemetry: Question answer choices, time spent per question, accuracy diagnostics, negative mark deductions, and attempt timestamps.

To preserve authentic national merit rankings and prevent question leakages during timed live and mock tests:

Privacy Guarantee: Krishi Vines does NOT access your private webcam, microphone, or local files without explicit student authorization. Telemetry is restricted solely to browser tab focus events during an active test.

Payments in Nepal are executed securely through authorized wallets and interbank rails (Fonepay, Khalti, eSewa, and Nepal Bank Limited):

• Zero Payment Credential Storing: We never store, capture, or log your bank passwords, wallet MPINs, or debit/credit card CVVs.
• Dynamic QR Locking: QR codes dynamically lock the payable sum so the exact total is transmitted directly to banking gateways without client tampering.

We partner with Google AdSense and trusted advertising networks to support free educational mock tests:

• Ad-Free Experience for Paid Subscribers: Active package subscribers (Basic, Plus, Pro, Staff) experience zero advertisements anywhere across our site.
• Free-Tier & Expired Subscriptions: Visitors on free accounts or expired packages may see non-intrusive ads clearly labeled with "Advertisement".
• Google AdSense Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve relevant ads.
• Personalized Ads Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through www.aboutads.info.
• Rewarded Ads for Free Tests: To unlock certain free mock tests without subscription, candidates may voluntarily watch a rewarded video advertisement in accordance with Google AdSense rewarded ad policies.

We use secure cookies and browser local storage strictly for:

• Preserving candidate session logins and authentication tokens.
• Offline recovery of active exam answers in case of unexpected network disconnects.
• Preserving dark/light interface theme preferences.

Merit leaderboards display top percentile scores for peer benchmarking. If a student prefers to appear under an anonymous alias or roll number on public merit boards, this setting can be adjusted within their Student Dashboard profile at any time.
