What information we use, why we need it, and how it is used
This table is the core of this Privacy Policy. It is intended to tell you directly what information may be handled when you use the app and the purpose for which it is used.
| Information | When / how it is obtained | Why it is needed and how it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Provided when you create or complete your learner profile. | Used to identify your learner profile, personalize the app where appropriate, display your learner name in supported features, and help us handle account or support requests. |
| Email address | Provided or confirmed when you create/sign in to your account. | Used as an account identifier, to sign you in or confirm account ownership, support account recovery, communicate about your account, and process privacy, correction or deletion requests. |
| Password or other sign-in credential | Used only if you create or use password-based sign-in, or when another supported sign-in method verifies your identity. | Used to authenticate your account and prevent unauthorized access. Passwords are not needed for support by email; never send your password or one-time password to abhyasdhara@gmail.com. |
| Mobile number | Provided during learner registration/profile setup and may also be entered as a sign-in identifier or for certain account/device-change requests. | Used to identify the correct learner account, allow supported mobile-number-plus-password sign-in by locating the account connected with that number, contact or verify account details where appropriate, review sensitive access/device-change requests, and help protect account or paid access from misuse. The current learner registration flow does not use SMS OTP verification for this mobile number. |
| Account identifier, account status and account timestamps | Created when your learner account is registered and updated as you use the service. | May include an account/user identifier, account creation time, last-active time and whether the account is active. Used to operate your account, associate your data with the correct learner, protect account access, support troubleshooting, and apply inactivity/deletion rules where applicable. |
| Privacy Policy and Terms acceptance record | Recorded when you complete registration or accept an updated legal version where required. | Used to record that you accepted the applicable Privacy Policy and Terms version, maintain legal/account records, and determine when renewed acceptance may be required after a material update. |
| State, district, exam category and preferred language | Provided through your learner profile or app preferences. | Used to personalize learning content, district/exam-related experiences, language presentation and other relevant study features. |
| Learning activity | Created when you use tests, practice, downloaded learning material, revision or analytics features. | May include tests attempted, questions shown, selected answers/options, attempt progress, duration, scores, accuracy, results, review history and learning progress. Used to provide the learning experience, calculate/display results, preserve progress, support review, and generate learner-facing performance insights. |
| Ranks and leaderboard information | Created from eligible test or competition results. | May include your learner/display name, score, percentage, rank and participation information. Used to calculate comparative performance and, where a public leaderboard feature is enabled, display eligible leaderboard information to other learners. |
| Competitive/Battle activity | Created when you choose to participate in competitive learning features. | May include participation, answers, scores, results and usage/quota status. Used to run the activity, calculate results, enforce applicable fair-use limits, and prevent manipulation or duplicate/abusive use. |
| Plan and access status | Created from your Free, Pro or Ultra access, including paid, trial, referral or other valid access changes. | Used to decide which features you can open, show your current access level and expiry where applicable, enforce access rules, restore valid access, and resolve access-related support issues. |
| Subscription and purchase information | Received or created when you start, renew, restore, cancel, refund or otherwise change a paid plan through the app store. | May include plan/product, purchase status, renewal/expiry, price/currency, cancellation and refund/revocation status. Used to activate or restore paid access, manage subscription status, answer billing-access questions, reconcile purchase changes and prevent payment abuse. AbhyasDhara does not need your full card number, card security code, UPI PIN or banking password. |
| Trial information | Created when the service checks or grants a one-time signup benefit. | Used to determine eligibility, grant the benefit once, show the resulting access, and prevent repeated or abusive claims of a one-time trial. |
| Referral information | Provided or created when you enter/use a referral code, invite another learner, or qualify for referral benefits. | Used to attribute valid referrals, determine eligibility, calculate rewards, maintain referral history, and prevent duplicate, self, invalid or abusive reward claims. |
| Device-change request information | Provided or created when you request movement of paid access to another device or ask for review. | May include your reason for the request, mobile number, request status and relevant account/access context. Used to verify the correct account, review the request, protect paid access, prevent misuse, and communicate the outcome. |
| Support messages and images | Provided only when you choose to send a message or image through learner support. | May include the text/image you send and basic message/read status. Used to understand your issue, reply to you, diagnose the problem you reported, enforce support-safety rules and maintain a limited support history for the retention period described below. |
| Email communications | Provided when you email abhyasdhara@gmail.com. | Used only as reasonably necessary to understand and respond to your request, including privacy, correction, account deletion, subscription/access, security, complaint or content-correction requests. Information you include voluntarily in the email is used for that request. |
| Notification information | Created when you allow or use notifications. | May include a notification-delivery identifier, notification preferences and limited delivery/read state. Used to deliver permitted account, learning, support or service notifications and maintain notification reliability. |
| Device, app and network information | Generated automatically when the app communicates with the service. | May include device/app identifiers, device model, operating-system/app version, network address and connection information. Used for account security, applicable device/access rules, fraud and abuse prevention, service delivery, reliability and troubleshooting. Network information may indicate a broad region or country. The app does not request precise or coarse GPS location permission. |
| Usage, crash and performance information | Generated while you use the app. | May include app sessions, feature interactions, errors/crashes and performance information. Used to diagnose failures, improve stability and speed, understand general feature usage and improve the service. |
| Security and misuse-prevention information | Created from account, sign-in, device, trial, referral, subscription and access activity. | Used to prevent unauthorized access, account sharing that violates applicable rules, payment misuse, repeated one-time benefits, automated abuse, tampering and other fraudulent or harmful activity. |
| Information stored only on your device | Stored locally to make the app usable, faster and more resilient. | Can include app preferences, downloaded learning material, cached questions/results, attempt progress, some practice/history information, temporary recovery information and a profile picture selected in the current profile-photo flow. Information that remains only on your phone is not treated as uploaded merely because the app stores it locally. |
Required versus optional: information needed to create, authenticate, secure or operate an account is required when you use those account features. Information tied to optional features—such as Battle, support images, notifications or a profile photo—is handled only when you choose or enable that feature. Some technical service information is generated automatically when the app connects to the service.
3
Permissions and device access
- Camera: may be requested when you choose a supported QR-code scanning feature. Ordinary camera frames are not intended to be uploaded merely because the scanner is open.
- Notifications: may be requested so you can receive allowed alerts and messages. You can change notification permission in device settings.
- Location: the current app does not request precise or coarse GPS location permission. Network information can still indicate a broad region or country.
- Contacts, microphone, SMS and call logs: the current app does not request permission to read these categories.
4
When information may be disclosed
We do not sell or rent learner personal information. Information may be disclosed only as reasonably necessary to operate the service, complete a user-requested transaction, protect users/service integrity, or comply with law.
| Recipient category | Why information may be disclosed |
|---|---|
| Account/sign-in service providers | To authenticate users and help keep accounts secure. |
| App-store/payment providers | To process and verify subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, refunds and purchase status. |
| Hosting, storage and communication providers | To operate the app service, store necessary account/content data and deliver requested communications. |
| Notification providers | To deliver notifications that you have allowed. |
| Analytics, reliability and diagnostic providers | To understand general app usage, diagnose crashes/errors and improve reliability. |
| Email/support providers | To receive and respond to messages sent to abhyasdhara@gmail.com. |
| Authorities or other parties where legally required | Only where disclosure is required by applicable law, a valid legal process, or is reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or service integrity. |
5
How we protect information
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information, including protected network transmission, authentication and access controls, restricted administrative access, security monitoring, anti-abuse protections and service-provider security controls.
No internet-connected service can promise absolute security. If you believe your account or information may have been compromised, contact abhyasdhara@gmail.com promptly.
6
How long information is kept
- Account/profile and learning information: generally kept while your account is active and while needed to provide the service, unless you request deletion or an automatic cleanup rule applies.
- Eligible inactive Free-only accounts: the current service includes automatic privacy cleanup for eligible Free-only learner accounts after about 180 days (six months) of inactivity. Accounts with current or remaining paid/earned premium access are not treated as eligible for this automatic Free-account cleanup rule. You do not have to wait six months to request deletion.
- Support messages/images: the current support system is designed to expire learner support messages and associated images after about 30 days.
- Short-lived operational records: some temporary purchase/access/competition records are removed on shorter operational schedules after they are no longer needed.
- Payment, fraud-prevention, dispute or legal records: limited information may be retained longer where reasonably necessary for transaction history, refunds, fraud prevention, security, disputes, accounting or legal obligations.
- One-time-benefit protection: limited non-profile information may be retained after deletion where necessary to prevent repeated misuse of a one-time trial or reward.
- Local-only information: information stored only on your device may remain until you clear the app's local storage or uninstall the app.
7
Account and data deletion — complete process
You may request deletion at any time. Email abhyasdhara@gmail.com with the subject Account Deletion Request. You may also use the deletion option available in the app. A separate web deletion page is available at Account & Data Deletion. You do not need to wait for automatic cleanup.
How to request deletion by email
Send the request from or identify the email address associated with the learner account and provide enough information for us to locate the correct account. We may request reasonable verification so that another person cannot delete your account. Never email your password, one-time password, card security code, UPI PIN or banking password.
What deletion normally removes
After a valid deletion request is completed, we remove account-linked personal/profile information and associated learner information that is no longer required. Depending on the features you used, this can include profile information, learning history, progress/results, support messages, notification state, referral/account state and other information linked to the learner account.
Information stored only on your phone may remain until you clear the app's local storage or uninstall the app.
Automatic privacy cleanup for eligible inactive Free-only accounts
Eligible Free-only learner accounts may be automatically deleted after about 180 days (six months) of inactivity. This does not mean every account is automatically deleted after six months. Accounts with current or remaining paid/earned premium access are not treated as eligible for this Free-account cleanup rule. This automatic cleanup is separate from your right to request deletion at any time.
Information that may need to be retained
Limited information may be retained where reasonably necessary for payment/refund records, accounting, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, legal obligations or preventing repeated misuse of a one-time trial or reward. These exceptions are not used as a reason to keep unrelated learner-profile information.
Subscriptions
Deleting your AbhyasDhara account or uninstalling the app does not automatically cancel a recurring app-store subscription. Cancel the subscription through the store account used for the purchase.

Educational and recruitment information may contain errors
We work to provide useful educational information, but questions, answers, explanations, translations, syllabus summaries, recruitment updates, dates, vacancy information, eligibility summaries, notifications or external links can sometimes be incomplete, delayed, outdated or incorrect. AbhyasDhara does not guarantee that every item is error-free or current at all times.
Before relying on any recruitment or examination information for an application, payment, eligibility decision, document upload, travel, physical test or official deadline, verify the latest official notification directly from the responsible authority. If our content differs from an official publication, the official publication controls. You may report a suspected error to abhyasdhara@gmail.com.
Important: AbhyasDhara may summarize or explain public examination/recruitment information for learning convenience, but it is not the issuing authority. Application dates, eligibility, vacancies, fees, reservation rules, physical standards, admit cards, answer keys, results and similar official matters must be verified directly from the responsible authority before you act.

Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the service, data practices or applicable requirements change. The current public version will show its effective date. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate.
