Privacy policy
Last updated 13 October 2026. This is the policy for the Abhigyan Android app and the Abhigyan web app (platform.abhigyan.space).
The short version. You sign in with Google. We store your exam choice, your practice results, your chats and your marked answers so the app can show your progress. Photos of handwritten answers are sent for marking and are not kept. The text and photos you send are processed by an AI model provider outside India. We do not show ads, we do not sell your data, and you can delete everything from inside the app.
Who we are
Abhigyan is run by [your legal name or company, and a postal address, to be filled in before publishing]. Contact and grievance officer: support@abhigyan.space.
What we collect
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your Google account name, email address and a unique user id (through Google sign-in and Firebase Authentication) | To create your account and keep your data separate from everyone else's. |
| Your choices: exam, stage, attempt year, target date, how strong you feel in each section | To show the right syllabus, countdown and suggestions. |
| Practice: the questions in each set, your answers, time per question, scores and topics | To mark your sets and show your progress. |
| Copilot chats: the messages you send and the replies | To keep your conversation and give relevant answers. |
| Written-answer evaluations: the photos you take or pick, and the result (marks, feedback, the text read from your photo) | To mark your answer. The photo is sent to our server and on to the AI model provider; our server does not store the photo. We keep the result in your account. |
| Learning features: your baseline check answers, your study plan, the cards you open, answer or save, deep-dive and classroom conversations, and mock-interview answers and feedback | To adapt practice to your level and to show your plan, cards, classes and interview feedback. Interview feedback is practice only and not a prediction of any result. |
| Weekly Arena: your scores and times, and a nickname if you choose one | To rank players. The board shows only a nickname (or "Anonymous learner"), never your name or email. You can remove your nickname at any time, and deleting your account erases your Arena entries. |
| Reports you send about a question, reply or marking, and anything you write in them | To find and fix wrong or unsafe AI output. |
| Technical records on our server: your user id, which feature you used, amount of text processed, errors, and the IP address that standard hosting logs record | To stop abuse, apply daily limits and control cost. |
We do not collect your location, contacts, microphone recordings or advertising id. The Android app has no advertising and no analytics library. The web app also uses a session-analytics tool (Microsoft Clarity) and, where switched on, traces of AI requests for quality checks (Langfuse); you can block these in your browser.
Who processes your data
- Google (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore) holds your account and the data above. It may be stored and processed on servers outside India.
- An AI model provider (DeepSeek) receives what the AI needs to answer: the question text and your answers for practice sets, your chat messages, and photos and text of answers you submit for marking. Its servers are outside India. Do not put sensitive personal information in chats or answers.
- Our hosting provider (Railway) runs our server and sees requests as they pass through.
We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.
How long we keep it
Your data stays until you delete it. Server logs are kept for a short period set by our hosting provider and then removed. Deleting your account removes your profile, practice history, chats, evaluations and reports from our database and closes your sign-in account. Copies in routine backups of the provider may take a short time to expire.
Your choices and rights
- Delete everything: in the Android app, Settings → Delete my account. Or see how to request deletion.
- Access and correction: your profile, practice results and chats are visible in the app. To correct something you cannot change in the app, or to ask for a copy of your data, write to support@abhigyan.space from the email address of your account.
- Complaints: write to the same address; we reply within 30 days. You may also contact the Data Protection Board of India once it is operating, or the authority in your country.
Age
Abhigyan is for people aged 18 and over. We ask you to confirm this when you sign in. If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we delete it.
AI can be wrong
Questions, explanations, chat replies and marks are written by an AI model and can be wrong or out of date. Exam patterns come from public notifications and change. Always check the latest official notification. Abhigyan is not affiliated with UPSC, SSC, IBPS, the Railway Recruitment Boards or any government body.
Security
Data travels over HTTPS. Access to the database is limited by rules so that each signed-in person can read and change only their own data. No system is perfectly secure; if we find a breach that affects you, we will tell you.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before it applies. The date at the top shows the latest version.
