The short version
- Only IIT students can sign in, with their institute email. We keep your email, a display name and your season best scores.
- No ads or tracking today. Two essential cookies: one keeps you signed in, one keeps your Meme Market portfolio. If we add ads later, the advertising section explains exactly how they work.
- Microphone audio never leaves your device. It is analysed live in the tab and never recorded to a file or uploaded.
- Free to enter, always. Each season's two prizes (a month of Claude Pro for #1 on the leaderboard and for the most runs) are bought and given by us.
- Meme Market is paper trading with fictional coins and virtual cash. It has no real-money value.

- Your moveBefore turning on ads: add an "I am 18 or older" confirmation, an ad-choices setting and a consent banner, update the home-page notice (it says "no ads"), and update the date on the Privacy Policy.
- Your moveDecide on the "IIT" name before promoting widely. IIT names are protected under the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961.
- Before payingAsk a CA whether TDS applies to the value of each Claude Pro prize (prizes in kind can count as winnings). If it does, pay it yourself as the rules promise, and file Form 26Q.
- Before payingReview both winners on the admin page before sending prizes. Scores are reported by the browser, so check for impossible results, run farming and duplicate accounts.
- When it growsLawyer review of these pages, a registered LLP or company, server-verified ranked mode, and an Online Gaming Act check.
