Privacy Policy

We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our services:

• Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, features used, browser type, device information, and general geographic location (country/city level only). This data helps us understand how students use GetCAP and improve the experience.
• Voluntary Submissions: When you use the contact form, subscribe to newsletters, or participate in surveys, we collect the information you voluntarily provide (name, email, feedback, etc.).
• Prediction Inputs: Rank, percentile, category, and other inputs you enter into the predictor are processed to generate predictions. We do not permanently store individual prediction queries.
• Account Information (Premium Users): If you create an account for premium features, we store your email, name, and subscription status. Payment information is handled securely by our payment processor and is never stored on our servers.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Providing, maintaining, and improving the GetCAP prediction service
• Responding to your inquiries, feedback, and support requests
• Sending service-related notifications (if opted in)
• Analyzing aggregate usage patterns to improve our algorithms and user experience
• Preventing abuse, fraud, and ensuring platform security
• Complying with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

GetCAP uses cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly, including session management and security features.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the website. We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not track individual users across sites.

We may use the following third-party services:

• AI Model Providers: Our AI Counselor (CAP Saathi) feature uses third-party AI services to generate responses. Your conversation content may be processed by these providers in accordance with their own privacy policies.
• Payment Processors: Premium subscription payments are processed by secure, PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. We do not store payment card details.
• Hosting & Infrastructure: Our platform runs on cloud infrastructure that may collect standard operational data (logs, error reports).

We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they maintain appropriate security and privacy standards.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Secure data storage with access controls
• Regular security audits and updates
• Minimal data collection — we only collect what is necessary

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to maintaining reasonable protections.
