Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This policy covers two apps made by Nitya Abhyas ("we", "us"): the Nitya Abhyas learning app for students and parents, and School Fee Manager for school staff. On Google Play, our apps are published under the developer name Balaghat Local. We work in partnership with participating schools. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and how to have it deleted.

Who uses the apps

The Nitya Abhyas learning app is used by school students from Class 1 upwards, many of them under 13, together with their parents. Students of a participating school do not sign up: the school provides their details, and a parent logs in with the phone number the school holds. Anyone else can log in with a phone number as a guest. Every login needs a one-time code sent to the parent's phone, so a parent is involved before a student can use the app. By logging in, the parent agrees to this policy on the student's behalf.

School Fee Manager is used only by the owner, office staff and teachers of a participating school. Each staff member logs in with their own phone number.

What we collect

Nitya Abhyas learning app

• Parent's phone number, to log in with a one-time code sent by WhatsApp or SMS.
• Student and parent names, school, class and section, provided by the school (or by you, for a guest account).
• Learning activity: answers, scores, coins, streaks and progress.
• Photos that the student takes for photo activities. We remove location and camera details from each photo before uploading it.
• Voice recordings that the student makes for speaking activities.
• Complaints and messages sent to the school through the app.
• Fee information: the fee schedule and payment status held by the school, shown to the family.

School Fee Manager

• Staff names, phone numbers and roles, to log in and control what each person can see.
• Student and parent details entered by the school: names, phone numbers, class, admission details and village.
• Fee records: fee structure, instalments, discounts, payments received, dues and receipts.
• Student attendance, and staff attendance and leave.
• Teachers' grades and feedback on students' work.

Where a school has turned on online payment, parents can pay fees in the Nitya Abhyas app or through a payment link sent by the school. Payments are handled by Razorpay, a licensed payment gateway: card, UPI and bank details are entered on Razorpay's secure checkout, and we never see or store card details or UPI PINs. We receive only the payment's amount, status and reference, so the school's fee records update automatically. The money goes directly to the school's own Razorpay account.

We do not collect your location, contacts or advertising ID. The apps have no ads.

How we use it

• To run the apps: log you in, show the right lessons, grade answers and keep progress.
• To let teachers review photos and recordings and give feedback.
• To show class leaderboards, completion lists and the class activity wall.
• To decide school rewards, which the school hands out.
• To let the school keep fee records, issue receipts, follow up on dues, mark attendance and answer complaints.

We do not sell personal data, show advertising, or build marketing profiles of children.

Who can see what

• Classmates in the same school and class: a student's name, coins, streak, leaderboard position, and photos and recordings shared to the class wall or activity board.
• Teachers and administrators of the student's own school: all of the student's activity, photos, recordings, complaints and fee information.
• Guest accounts do not appear on leaderboards.
• Nobody outside the student's school can see any of this.

When school staff send a fee reminder or receipt from School Fee Manager, the app opens WhatsApp on their own phone and the message is sent from the school's own WhatsApp account.

Service providers

These companies run parts of the apps for us and process data only on our behalf:

Security

All data travels encrypted (HTTPS). Access is limited by account, school and class. Answers are graded on our servers, not on the phone.

How long we keep data

Photos, voice recordings, learning activity and progress are kept while the student uses the app, and deleted at the end of the academic year after the student leaves. School records (admission, class, fees, attendance) belong to the school and are kept under the school's own record-keeping rules.

Deleting your account

You can ask us to delete your account at any time: in the learning app, open More → Delete my account; or see nityaabhyas.vercel.app/delete-account for how. Within 30 days we delete the app login, photos, recordings, coins, progress and in-app complaints. School records (admission, class, fees, transfer certificate) are not part of the app and stay with the school.

Your rights

A parent can ask to see, correct or delete their child's data by writing to nityaabhyas@gmail.com. Corrections to school details (name, class, fees) are made by the school office.

Children

The learning app is designed for school students. We collect only what is needed for learning, show no ads, and do not track children across other apps or websites.

Changes

We will update this page when anything changes and show the new date at the top.
