Terms and privacy
writeias.com is run by IAS Valley. This page says what the site is, what we keep of yours, and what paying buys.
The copies
The copies are test-series answer booklets of UPSC toppers that coaching institutes published as free resources. They are shown here for study, page by page and as text, with the institute and the topper named on each. The institutes and toppers have not endorsed this site. If you hold the rights to a copy and want it taken down, write to [email protected] and it comes down.
The copies are for reading on the site. They cannot be downloaded, and what you read here may not be republished.
Your account
Your account is your email address. A six-digit code sent to it signs you in; there is no password. Keep your email safe, since whoever reads it can sign in as you.
What we keep
Your notes, the lines you keep, your answers and their feedback, which copies you opened and for how long, and your plans and progress. They exist so the site can show you your own work and your own time. They are never shown to another student, sold, or used for advertising. Your notes can be exported from the notes page at any time. Write to [email protected] to have your account and everything in it deleted.
IAS Valley's own people can see what students write on the site when a student asks for help, and in aggregate (how many answers were written on a question), never to read a student's notes for its own sake.
Paying
Everything is free for your first 30 days. After that, reading the copies needs a plan from the plans page; your notes, answers and progress stay open whether you pay or not. Payments go through Razorpay; we never see your card or bank details. Prices are in Indian rupees. A plan bought during the free month starts when the free month ends, so nothing is lost.
No refunds. If the site fails you for a stretch, write to [email protected] and we add the time back.
Fair use
One account is one person. Reading at the speed of a script, or copying the copies out, closes the account.
Writing to us
