Scope and responsibilities
This notice covers the Access marketing website, downloads, the candidate desktop experience, and related support. Access is operated by Algorithms & Mathematics Society (AMS), based in Mumbai, India. Its founder is Tilak Jain. Contact team@amshq.in about privacy or this notice.
An assessment organizer sets the purpose, questions, participation rules, and review process for its round. Access supplies the assessment software and connected service workflows. The organization responsible for a particular use of personal information depends on the service arrangement.
Read your organizer’s notice for registration, eligibility, evaluation, result publication, and any additional use of your information. Contact the organizer for its identity, contact details, and responsibilities for your assessment.
Website and desktop notices
Access 2.3.1 includes a desktop privacy policy dated 27 May 2026. You can read it in Settings → About → Privacy, or from the privacy link before setup. This website notice supplements information about the service; it does not replace the notice supplied with your installed app, the organizer’s notice, or an existing agreement.
The monitoring explanation here is based on the reviewed 2.3.1 desktop flow. Local calibration captures are different from session images sent with activity records. This distinction matters when reading the desktop policy’s statement about local calibration.
The full provider inventory, processing locations, record-access permissions, and retention periods are not established by this website notice. Contact Access and your organizer for the arrangements that apply to your assessment.
What Access checks and recordsInformation involved
Information can come from you, your device, your assessment organizer, or your use of the service. The categories used depend on the activity and assessment configuration.
The website contact form requires your name, email address, enquiry category, and message so the team can handle your enquiry. Organization and expected round size are optional. Without the required fields, the form cannot send your message; you can email team@amshq.in instead.
- Website enquiries: your name, email address, organization if supplied, enquiry category, expected round size, and message.
- Account and invitation information: account identifiers, email address, organization or assessment association, and invitation or participation status.
- Assessment work: answers or source code, custom test input sent with Run or Submit, submissions, evaluation results, attempt history, and associated times.
- Device and session information: device identifiers, operating system and app details, readiness and permission results, connection information, session activity, and running-application or environment checks used for assessment readiness and controls.
- Camera and microphone information: permission and availability results, local calibration captures, and separate presence-check images that can accompany session events sent to the assessment service. Microphone access does not by itself mean audio is recorded.
- Support information: the issue description, messages, and diagnostic information included with a support or incident report.
- Website and service operation: request information such as IP address, request time, and technical information used to operate services, troubleshoot, and limit abuse.
Why information is used
- Respond to enquiries and provide requested support.
- Identify the appropriate account and show assigned assessments.
- Check device readiness and operate the configured assessment session.
- Receive and evaluate submissions, show results, and provide context for review.
- Investigate reported problems and support service operation and security.
Camera, microphone, and device permissions
The marketing website does not request camera or microphone access. The desktop app may request media and device permissions needed for the assessment you enter.
Camera checks support device setup and face presence during a session. Local calibration images are separate from session images: when a presence check finds no face or more than one face, a still image can be included in the activity sent to the assessment service.
The app requests microphone access during setup and when opening the live session media stream. Permission to use a microphone is not, by itself, evidence that audio is recorded or stored. The reviewed 2.3.1 flow does not include continuous audio or video recording.
Calibration images are stored temporarily on the device. The app attempts to remove them when the secured session ends and at its next startup; a crash or file-access problem can delay removal. This cleanup does not delete separate session images or records already sent to the service.
Before participating, ask the organizer which checks apply, whether media is transmitted or retained, who can review it, and what alternatives are available if you cannot meet a requirement.
You can manage permissions in your device settings. Removing a permission required for a round may prevent entry or interrupt participation. Speak to your organizer before making a change during a live assessment.
Understand checks, media and session recordsAutomated results and assessment review
Code judging can produce automated evaluation results.
Required readiness and entry checks can prevent participation when they are not met.
Session activity provides context for review. An activity flag alone is not proof of misconduct.
Your organizer should explain how results are decided, how technical issues are considered and how to request a review.
Read about assessment checks and reviewSecurity and external services
The website uses signed session cookies with expiry checks for account sessions and request rate limits to help reduce abuse. These controls do not guarantee that all information is secure or establish the security arrangements of every connected assessment service.
Links may take you to services operated by other organizations. Read their privacy notices before providing information there; this notice describes Access and does not describe every external service’s practices.
To report a suspected privacy or security issue, contact team@amshq.in. Describe the issue without sending passwords, invitation codes, or assessment answers.
Cookies and information on your device
Signed-in web services use session cookies to maintain account access. The website and desktop interface also use local storage for preferences and, in the desktop app, account/session state and draft recovery.
The desktop app also stores session events on the device for delivery to the assessment service. These records can contain presence-check images. A connection problem can leave events pending locally; they are not all held only in memory.
The download recommendation reads browser-provided operating-system and processor information where available. The recommendation helper runs in your browser and does not store or send those detected hints to AMS. Download requests themselves still reach the service and identify the installer selected.
You can manage cookies and local storage through your browser or device settings. Clearing them may sign you out or remove preferences and locally stored work.
Signing out or uninstalling an app does not, by itself, delete assessment records held by the organizer or connected services.
Retention and deletion
Different records have different purposes. Assessment records, session activity, support correspondence, and information stored on your device should not be assumed to have the same retention period.
This notice does not specify a universal retention or automatic-deletion period. The retention periods or criteria for each record category, including review or dispute requirements, need confirmation from Access and the relevant organizer. Ask for those details before participating.
For a request about an assessment record, contact the organizer that invited you. For an Access enquiry or uncertainty about who to contact, email team@amshq.in.
Local calibration cleanup and retention of queued session events are different processes. Neither establishes how long records already received by the assessment service are kept.
Email the AMS team about privacyYour questions and choices
You can ask what information is involved, request correction of inaccurate information, and raise a concern about how your information is handled.
Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, you may have rights to access, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of information.
Where processing relies on consent, you can request withdrawal through team@amshq.in or the organizer’s privacy contact. Withdrawing an app permission in device settings is a separate action and does not itself request deletion of records already received.
Where applicable law gives you a right to complain to a data protection authority, you may use that route as well. The relevant authority depends on the law and organization responsible for the processing.
To make a privacy request, email team@amshq.in with the request type, the email address associated with your account or enquiry, and the organizer or assessment name if relevant. For records held by your organizer, also use the contact in its notice. An identity check may be needed before information about an account or assessment can be shared.
Participation and younger candidates
Assessment eligibility is set for the particular round. If an assessment includes younger candidates, the organizer and Access need to confirm applicable age requirements, notices, and any parent, guardian, or school authorization before participation.
This notice does not set an age threshold or assume that every assessment is suitable for every age group. If you are unsure whether you may participate, ask your organizer before supplying assessment information.
Changes and contact
Updates to this website notice are published on this page with a last-updated date. That date identifies the website text revision; it does not change the effective date of the notice supplied with an installed app or an organizer’s agreement.
Changes to the service or its information handling may require additional notice or consent under applicable law; updating this page alone does not replace those requirements. Confirm the applicable notice for your assessment before you begin.
