Privacy Policy

At CET Compas (accessible at https://cetcompas.co.in), we collect only the necessary information to provide accurate admissions insights and preference list generation:

• Account & Profile Information: When you sign up or log in, we may collect your name and email address to manage your account and save your preference lists.
• Academic & Admission Data: Percentile scores (MHT CET / JEE Main), caste category (OPEN, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, NT, VJ/DT, TFWS), home university region, preferred branches, and tuition fee budget entered during list generation.
• Saved Preference Lists: Options saved to your dashboard for reviewing, sorting, and exporting into PDF option forms.
• Technical & Log Data: Standard server logs including IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and timestamp data for security and performance optimization.

We use the collected information strictly for:

• Computing personalized college admission probabilities and predicting state merit ranks.
• Structuring preference-ordered CAP option lists categorized into Dream, Target, and Safe colleges.
• Enabling cross-session list saving, PDF downloads, and dashboard access.
• Detecting platform errors, preventing malicious automated abuse, and improving algorithm accuracy.
• No Unsolicited Commercial Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or trade student telephone numbers or personal contact information to external coaching institutes, telemarketers, or private universities.

CET Compas utilizes client-side local storage and essential cookies to maintain user session persistence (e.g., storing authentication state in cet_compas_user), language preferences (English / Marathi), and offline preference list state.

We also employ privacy-focused aggregate analytics via Vercel Web Analytics and Google Analytics (GA4) to understand general traffic trends, popular college searches, and platform reliability without profiling individual candidates or harvesting sensitive examination credentials.

You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies or clear local storage at any time; however, some personalized features such as list synchronization may require active local storage to function.
