Privacy Notice & Data Governance Policy
Last revised: November 2026 • Effective immediately across all IlmPrep services.
No Advertising Trackers
We never sell student data, show behavioral advertisements, or embed invasive third-party ad networks.
90-Day Log Retention
Operational activity and security event logs are automatically purged by scheduled retention jobs after 90 days.
Anonymous Analytics
All administrative platform metrics (DAU, miss rates, score averages) are strictly calculated as aggregate tallies with zero PII.
1. Information We Collect
IlmPrep collects only the minimal information required to provide students with accurate exam simulations and personalized learning feedback:
- Account Profile Data: Email address, display name, optional university affiliation, and current semester (used solely to personalize your diagnostic dashboard).
- Examination & Practice Activity: Selected multiple-choice question responses, score calculations, time elapsed per question, bookmarks, and reported question feedback.
- Administrative Security Logs: Administrative role changes, question review actions, and access events are recorded in a secure audit log for security governance.
2. How We Use Student Data
Your information is used strictly to power educational features:
- Grading timed mock tests and generating syllabus domain mastery breakdowns.
- Tracking weak competency areas to recommend focused practice topics.
- Aggregating platform-level statistics (e.g. identify which syllabus topics students find most challenging overall) without exposing personal identities.
3. Automated 90-Day Retention Schedule
In accordance with data minimization principles, IlmPrep enforces an automated data retention lifecycle:
System access records and security event logs older than 90 days are automatically deleted from the production database by automated retention jobs (purge_old_event_logs).
4. Your Data Rights & Deletion
You maintain full ownership of your data. Students have the right at any time to:
- Request a copy of your test history and diagnostic score reports.
- Request the immediate, permanent deletion of your account and all associated test records.
- Clear individual question bookmarks and practice history directly from your dashboard.
5. Academic Independence Disclaimer
IlmPrep is an independent academic preparation platform created for computing students. We are not officially affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, the National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC), or Virtual University of Pakistan.
