1. Introduction & Overview
Welcome to AgriBook (“AgriBook”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). We operate India's premier Computer-Based Testing (CBT), Previous Year Question Papers (PYP), and online examination readiness platform for agricultural competitive examinations (accessible at www.agribook.co.in).
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of students, aspirants, and visitors who use our services. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we process and store it, and the rights you hold regarding your personal information under the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), and applicable Indian data protection frameworks.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the essential information necessary to deliver authentic exam simulations, calculate rankings, and safeguard account security:
- Account & Identity Data: Full name, verified email address, 10-digit mobile/WhatsApp number, and account password.
- Google OAuth (Sign-In with Google): When you choose to authenticate via Google Sign-In, we receive your name, verified email address, Google unique identifier (UID), and profile picture URL. We never access your Google Drive files, personal contacts, or private emails.
- Test & Performance Analytics: Mock test responses, question scores, time spent per question, positive/negative marks breakdown, comparative percentiles, bookmarks, and reported question feedback.
- Device & Security Identifiers: IP address, device type, browser information, and unique session tokens used exclusively to enforce our single active device policy.
- Payment & Transaction Data: When you purchase test series or courses, transactions are processed securely through RBI-authorized payment aggregators (such as Razorpay). AgriBook never collects, handles, or stores sensitive debit/credit card numbers, CVVs, or UPI MPINs.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly for legitimate educational and platform operations:

4. Zero Third-Party Data Selling
We do not sell, rent, or trade student personal data, phone numbers, or test performance records to any third-party marketing companies, coaching brokers, or advertisers. Data is shared only with trusted infrastructure providers (Google Cloud Firebase for database hosting, Razorpay for payment processing) strictly to fulfill core platform operations.
5. Data Security & Storage
We employ industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols.
- Secure Cloud Infrastructure: User profiles and test progress are stored in Google Cloud Firestore with real-time replication and rigorous security rules.
- Local Storage Protection: In-progress test answers are cached defensively in browser storage to prevent loss during internet fluctuations.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use strictly necessary session tokens, local CBT storage (to auto-save examination answers), and diagnostic telemetry tools (Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity) to understand traffic patterns and optimize platform speed.
