We collect information in the following ways to serve students and readers effectively:
A. Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Communications and Feedback: When you email us at
contact@ iitmentor.com, submit inquiries through contact forms, suggest corrections, or apply to write as a mentor, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. - Mock Test Responses: When you attempt timed mock tests (such as JEE Main, AP/TS EAMCET, COMEDK, KCET, MHT CET, WBJEE), your chosen answers, review flags, and test completion timestamps are processed to calculate scores and generate performance analytics.
B. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
To provide a fast, offline-friendly, and distraction-free experience without mandatory user sign-in:

- Service Worker & PWA Cache: Our progressive web app caches static assets, questions, and diagrams to allow continuous offline revision.
