Privacy policy

What we keep

• Your name, kept short: your first name and the first letter of your last name, like “Aarav S.”. We do not keep your full name. If you type your full name to ask to join a class, it is kept only until your teacher accepts or turns down the request.
• Your class and subjects, and your roll number in each group you are in.
• How you sign in: your phone number, e-mail address or Google account is kept only as a secret code, made with a key that only our server has. We use it to recognise you. We also keep a short hint so you can see which one you used: the last 4 digits of a phone number, or the first letter and the end of an e-mail address (“a•••@gmail.com”).
• Passwords and PINs: only in a scrambled form (a hash), never as you typed them.
• Your tests: your answers, marks, reports, practice sheets and Test B, and PDF copies of your reports and practice sheets.
• Notes from an online test, such as when you left the test screen, went offline or reloaded the page, so your teacher can see the test was fair.

We use all of this only to run AfterTest: your tests, reports, practice and Test B, signing in, and keeping accounts safe.

What we never do

• We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.
• No ads, no trackers and no analytics tools on our pages.

Who can see your data

• You, when you sign in.
• Your school or coaching. Each school or coaching on AfterTest is a separate group. A group sees only its own students: their short names, roll numbers, classes, answers, marks and reports. It never sees another group’s students or tests.
• AfterTest Online, our own open group, sees the same for the students in it.
• A few AfterTest staff, only when needed to run the service, fix a problem or answer your request.
• Nobody else, unless the law requires it.

Services that work for us

These companies handle some data for us, only to do their job:

• Cloudflare runs our website, database and file storage, makes the PDF copies and checks that a real person (not a robot) is signing in. Its servers may be outside India.
• Cloudflare or Resend (an e-mail company) delivers sign-in codes by e-mail. It gets your e-mail address and the code.
• Meta (WhatsApp) delivers sign-in codes to your phone, when signing in by phone is switched on. It gets your phone number and the code.
• Google, only if you choose “Continue with Google”. Google tells us your name, your e-mail address and a number for your Google account. We keep only your short name, secret codes and the e-mail hint.
• Anthropic (Claude AI), when a school or coaching switches AI on. It reads question papers and helps write practice and Test B. It gets the test’s questions and pages only. We never send your name, roll number, answers or marks: our system checks every AI request and stops any that holds them.
• YouTube plays short videos on some reports, in its own player (its privacy-enhanced mode). When you play a video, YouTube’s own privacy policy applies.

Cookies

We use only the cookies AfterTest needs to work:

• sign-in cookies that keep you signed in (up to 30 days);
• a device cookie: a random code that tells us it is the same phone or laptop, so we can limit wrong PIN tries (1 year);
• while you ask to join a class, a cookie that remembers your request (30 days);
• while you sign in with Google, a short cookie that keeps the sign-in safe (10 minutes).

No advertising cookies and no tracking cookies.

Your internet address

When you sign in, ask for a code or ask to join a class, we use your internet (IP) address to stop abuse, such as too many tries from one place. We keep it only as a scrambled code that changes every day, never the address itself, and for students we delete it within 30 days. Cloudflare also sees it, to deliver our pages and to run the robot check.

How long we keep it

• Your profile, tests, answers, marks and reports: until you ask us to delete them, or your school or coaching deletes them.
• Sign-in codes: they work for 10 minutes and are deleted within a day.
• Notes from an online test, answers that arrived late, and problems you reported about a question: deleted 120 days after the test is marked.
• Counts of wrong tries: one day. A device not used for 180 days is forgotten.
• A request to join a class that nobody answers: closed after 30 days (the typed name is erased) and removed 7 days later.
• The record of changes made by teachers and staff: 2 years.

Children and parents

Most students on AfterTest are under 18. If you are under 18, use AfterTest with your parent’s or guardian’s permission. A parent or guardian can write to admin@aftertest.in to see, correct or delete their child’s data.

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you (and a parent, for a child) can ask to see your data, correct it and have it deleted, and can complain if we get something wrong.

Your choices

• Change your name, class and subjects on My account (Edit your details).
• Signing out of your account signs you out on every device.
• To delete your account and your tests, write to admin@aftertest.in. Your school or coaching can also delete your data in its group.

Tell us the phone number or e-mail you sign in with (or your roll number and group), so we can find your account.

Write to admin@aftertest.in with any question about this page, or to complain about how we handle your data. AfterTest is run by Focus Lab Academy, Gurugram, Haryana, India.
