Last updated: 23 June 2026
Who we are
MCQMED is a free question bank that helps Sri Lankan medical students practise for the Final MBBS and ERPM examinations. If you have any privacy questions, contact us through our contact page.
What we collect
We keep this to the minimum needed to run the service:
- Account details — the email address you sign up with, and a display name you choose (shown on the leaderboard).
- Practice data — which questions you have seen, which you got right or wrong, your marks, and your bookmarks. This is what powers your progress tracking and the leaderboard.
- Question reports — if you report a question, we store your report so we can review and correct it.
- Basic technical data — standard information such as your browser type and approximate usage, used to keep the service secure and working.
We do not ask for or store payment card details. Donations are handled entirely by PayHere on their own secure checkout.
How we use your data
- To create and run your account.
- To track your progress, show your marks, and display the leaderboard.
- To improve the question bank and fix reported errors.
- To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
We do not sell your data, and we do not show third-party advertising.
Where your data is stored
Your account and practice data are stored using Supabase, a secure hosting provider, and the site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. We apply reasonable measures to protect your data, including access controls so that your private data (such as your bookmarks and results) is only accessible to you.
Who we share it with
We only share data with the service providers needed to run MCQMED — currently our hosting/database provider (Supabase) and our donation processor (PayHere), and only to the extent needed. We may disclose information if required by law.
Cookies and local storage
We use only the storage needed to keep you signed in and remember basic preferences (such as light or dark mode). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Your rights and choices
- Access or correct your account information from your account settings.
- Change your display name at any time.
- Delete your account and associated data — contact us through our contact page and we will delete your account and practice data.
Children
MCQMED is intended for medical students and graduates. It is not directed at children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the date at the top when we do.
