KPSC Elite – Privacy Policy

KPSC Elite – Privacy Policy

Effective date: 26 October 2026

KPSC Elite ("the app") is an exam-preparation app for the KPSC KAS and other Karnataka competitive exams, published by The RPB Company ("we", "us").

This app does not represent any government entity and is not affiliated with the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).

This policy explains what information the app uses, why, and the choices you have.

1. Information stored only on your device

Your study data stays on your phone and is not sent to us. This includes:

  • quiz and mock test results, streaks and badges;
  • bookmarks, your Notebook and personal notes on questions;
  • flashcard progress;
  • your settings.

If backup is turned on, Android may include this data in your device's own backup to your Google account. That backup is managed by Google, not by us.

2. Rank List (optional, only if you sign in)

The Rank List is optional. If you choose Sign in with Google:

  • Sign-in record: Google Firebase Authentication creates a sign-in record. It holds your Google account email address, name, profile photo link and a user ID.
  • What we store for the Rank List: the nickname you choose, and your mock exam results: marks, the number of correct, wrong and unanswered questions, and time taken.
  • What others see: only your nickname and marks. Your email, name and photo are never shown to other users.

Deleting your data: you can delete your Rank List profile and entries at any time in the app (Rank List → ⋮ → Delete my Rank List account), or by emailing us from your Google account email.

3. Reporting a problem with a question (optional)

If you report a problem with a question, we receive:

  • the question identifier;
  • the type of problem and your optional note;
  • the app language and version;
  • your user ID, if you are signed in.

We use this only to correct the question.

4. Advertising

The app shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), approximate location based on IP address, device and app information, and ad interactions, to show and measure ads.

Where required (for example in the EU and UK), the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change this choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.

5. Purchases

The app is free to download and use. It offers optional paid items:

  • an ad-free subscription;
  • one-time mock test series purchases.

These are bought through Google Play Billing. Google processes your payment, and we never receive your card or payment details. We receive only the purchase record needed to unlock what you bought and to restore it if you reinstall. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled in Google Play.

6. Third-party services

The app uses these services, each with its own privacy policy:

7. Log data and cookies

The app does not collect log or crash data itself. Third-party services such as AdMob may collect device information when you use them, as described in their policies.

The app does not use cookies directly. Third-party libraries may use similar technologies, as described in their policies.

8. Security and retention

Data sent to Firebase is encrypted in transit. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we use commercially acceptable means to protect it.

Your Rank List data is kept until you delete it. Problem reports are kept only as long as needed to correct the question.

9. Children's privacy

The app is meant for adults and older students preparing for competitive exams. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Links to other sites

The app may link to other sites, such as the official KPSC website. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
