1. Introduction & Core Privacy Promise
Welcome to MockTestVault (accessible at https://mocktestvault.com/). We respect the privacy of every student, educator, and test aspirant who utilizes our computer-based examination simulators. This Privacy Policy outlines our standards regarding data handling, client-side execution, browser local storage, advertising cookies, and your legal rights.
Unlike conventional educational portals, MockTestVault is engineered as an open-access, client-side utility. We do not operate user accounts, do not mandate phone number registration, and never harvest personal student profiles.
2. 100% In-Browser Execution Architecture (Zero Server Storage)
- Your selected answers, skipped questions, and marked-for-review flags are processed 100% locally in your device's browser memory (RAM) via pure JavaScript state machines.
- No test score, question response, or examination timestamp is ever transmitted to or stored on our web servers or external cloud databases.
- When you close your browser tab or click "Reset Test", all active session data is immediately discarded.
3. Browser Local Storage & Preference Cookies
MockTestVault utilizes modern HTML5 localStorage solely to preserve non-identifying client preferences across visits. Specifically, we store:
mtv_theme: Remembers your display theme selection ('light'or'dark'mode) to prevent flashing un-styled content upon page load.mtv_sound: Records your Web Audio synthesizer preference ('true'or'false'for millisecond audio feedback).mtv_font_scale: Stores your customized typography zoom scale (between 85% and 125%) for enhanced readability.
These keys reside exclusively within your local device storage and are never uploaded to any remote server. You can wipe these keys at any time via your browser's "Clear Site Data" settings.
4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures
To maintain MockTestVault as a completely free educational platform without subscription paywalls, we partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google Inc. (Google AdSense), to deliver non-intrusive banner advertisements:
- Third-Party Vendor Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to MockTestVault or other websites across the Internet.
- Google DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its certified partners to serve targeted ads to users based on their visits to our platform and/or other sites on the World Wide Web.
- Zero-CLS Guarantee: All potential advertising slots are strictly sandboxed in reserved aspect-ratio wrappers to eliminate Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), ensuring ad loading never repositions questions or distorts interactive timers.
- Personalized Advertising Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party advertising cookies for interest-based advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) consumer choice portal at www.aboutads.info.
5. Web Analytics & Server Access Logs
Like all standard web servers, MockTestVault may log basic non-personally identifiable diagnostic headers when an asset is requested:
- Standard HTTP request metadata: Browser user-agent string, operating system version, referring URL, time of request, and IP address (anonymized for aggregated geolocation metrics).
- We may utilize anonymous aggregated telemetry tools (such as Google Analytics 4) to monitor platform load times, regional popularity of exam suites, and browser rendering compatibility. These tools do not record private exam answers or identify individual users.
6. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) & Minors
Given our curriculum coverage of secondary school syllabus (including CBSE Class 10), we adhere strictly to the principles of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and global minors' digital safety frameworks:
- MockTestVault does not require, solicit, or collect personally identifiable information (PII) from any student, including children under 13 or 16 years of age.
- Because no login credentials, names, email addresses, or phone numbers are requested, no children's data is maintained or distributed.
- Parents and educators can permit students to utilize the platform with total confidence in complete local anonymity.
7. Your Rights under GDPR, UK DPA & CCPA/CPRA
Under global data privacy regulations (including the European General Data Protection Regulation, the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and the California Consumer Privacy Act):
- Right to Know & Access: Since we do not record student accounts, personal profiles, or test answers, we possess no identifiable database records to retrieve.
- Right to Erasure / Deletion: Users have total autonomy over their local device storage. Clearing your browser cache or cookies instantly deletes all stored preferences.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: MockTestVault treats all users identically, regardless of whether you accept or reject non-essential cookies.
8. Updates & Privacy Inquiries
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect enhancements in statutory regulations or security standards. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will always reflect the latest revision.
