Children's data (DPDP §9)

Almost all our students are minors. We process their personal data only after a verifiable parental consent event is recorded against the student's profile. Parents may withdraw consent at any time via the in-app flow or by contacting the DPO. We do not target advertising at children, do not profile children for behavioural advertising, and do not share children's data with third parties beyond the operational vendors listed in the privacy policy.

Escalation to the Data Protection Board

If you are not satisfied with the resolution provided by the DPO within the stated window, you may escalate to the Data Protection Board of India under DPDP §27. The Board's contact details are published at the official Government of India portal. We will share the case file with the Board on request.

Breach notification

In the event of a confirmed personal-data breach affecting your records, we notify the Data Protection Board within 72 hours and you within 72 hours of confirmation, by SMS and email, with the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the steps you should take. Our internal breach runbook is committed to source control and reviewed quarterly by the DPO.
