Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
UPSC A2Z is free to use, and you don't need an account. If you choose to sign in, we save your study progress so it follows you across devices. This page explains, in plain words, what we keep, why, and how to get it deleted.
What we collect
If you don't sign in, we don't collect anything about you ourselves. Your progress stays in your own browser (see "Cookies and local storage" below).
If you sign in, we collect:
- Your email address and name, taken from your Google account if you use "Sign in with Google", or the email you signed up with.
- Your study data: test scores, attempt history, topic progress, and the place you last visited.
For everyone, the site also uses basic analytics:
- Google Analytics counts visits and shows which pages are popular.
- Microsoft Clarity shows us how people use pages, such as where they click and scroll, so we can fix confusing parts.
These two services may set their own cookies and collect things like your device type, browser, approximate location and the pages you view. They are run by Google and Microsoft under their own privacy policies.
Why we collect it
- To sync your progress across your phone, laptop and other devices.
- To show you a personal dashboard of your scores and progress.
- To suggest what to study next, based on your progress and results.
- Analytics help us understand overall usage and improve the site.
Where it is stored
Your account and study data are stored with Supabase, a database provider. Signing in with Google is handled by Google. We never see your Google password.
What we don't do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not show ads based on your data.
- Logging in is optional. The site works without it.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses your browser's local storage to save your progress, such as completed topics, revision flags and quiz scores, on your own device. If you clear your browser data, that saved progress can be lost unless you are signed in and it has been synced. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may also use cookies, as described above. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Deleting your data
You can ask us to delete your account and all the data linked to it. Email us at {{CONTACT_EMAIL}} from the address you signed in with, and tell us you want your account deleted.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
