Privacy Policy

What we collect

Roughworks is free to browse without an account. If you only use the public question bank and papers, we primarily collect anonymous usage analytics via Google Analytics (GA4) — pages visited, time spent, and general location (country/city). This data is aggregated and is not intended to identify you personally.

Accounts and sign-in (optional)

If you choose to create an account to use dashboard features (timed mock exams, saved progress, bookmarks, mock analytics, and practice sets), we use Supabase Auth to handle authentication. Sign-in is via Google OAuth. Google shares with Roughworks the profile information you consent to at sign-in (typically your name, email address, and profile picture URL as provided by Google).

We store a profile record in our Supabase database when you complete onboarding or update settings — for example display name, username, optional phone number, and your target exam preferences. Phone is optional and only used for reminders or support if you provide it.

When you are signed in, we store learning activity in our database so the dashboard can show your progress — question attempts (including selected answers and correctness), timed mock session summaries and analytics, practice set results, bookmarks, and related timestamps. This data is tied to your account and is not shared with advertisers.

To request account deletion or removal of your data, email bhargab@roughworks.in.

Community sketch gallery (optional)

On drawing-prompt pages, signed-in users may optionally upload a sketch to the public community gallery. When you do this, the image you upload and any optional description you add become publicly visible on the site. By default, we show your Roughworks display name or username with the sketch; if you choose Make me anonymous, your name and username are not shown publicly. Community sketches are stored in our cloud infrastructure.

Submission to the gallery is always opt-in and you can request removal of your submission at any time by emailing bhargab@roughworks.in.

Your browser storage

When you attempt questions in paper mode, your progress (which questions you answered and whether they were correct) is saved locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server. We also store a small key (rw-cookie-dismissed) to remember that you have acknowledged this cookie notice. You can clear all of this at any time by clearing your browser storage.

When you are signed in, Supabase Auth persists your session in the browser via localStorage. Signing out clears the session from the app's perspective; you can also clear site data in your browser settings.

Third-party services

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymous usage data, and Supabase for authentication, user accounts, and dashboard data you generate while signed in. Google may set cookies in your browser as part of analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies

We do not set Roughworks-specific first-party cookies for anonymous browsing. We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to remember paper-mode progress and your cookie notice acknowledgement. Google Analytics may set its own cookies to distinguish users and sessions. Supabase Auth uses browser storage to persist your signed-in session.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance.
