What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Account Information
When you register on our platform, we collect your name, email address, and any additional profile information you choose to provide. This data is necessary to create and manage your account, track your course enrollments, and maintain your points balance.
Payment Information
When you purchase points through our payment gateway (Razorpay), payment processing is handled entirely by Razorpay. We do not store your credit/debit card numbers, UPI IDs, or net banking credentials on our servers. We only receive a transaction confirmation (transaction ID, amount, and status) to credit points to your account. Please review Razorpay’s Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your payment data.

We collect data related to your course enrollments, quiz attempts, scores, and progress. This information is used to provide your dashboard, track your preparation progress, and improve our course offerings.

We collect anonymised search queries and general usage analytics to understand how students use the platform and to improve our content and features. This data cannot be traced back to individual users.
