Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information PYQ Bundle collects, why, and the choices you have. It applies to this website (pyqbundle.com), the PYQ Bundle web app (app.pyqbundle.com) and the PYQ Bundle Android app (together, the "Service").
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account information: your email address, and your name if you provide one, when you sign up with email or Google. Sign-in is handled by Supabase.
- Profile information: your enrolled exam course(s), a display name, and any optional details you choose to add (such as gender, category or date of birth) where the app asks for them. Job eligibility features use these details to show openings that match you.
- Notes you create: your personal notes (text, drawings and images you add) are stored on your device by default. If you have Premium, they also sync to our servers so they're available on your other devices.
- Job applications: if you apply for a role on our careers page, we collect your name, email, phone number, city, the exams and languages you work with, your availability and experience, and anything else you include. We use this only to review your application and contact you about it.
- Support and feedback: emails, bug reports and suggestions you send us.
Information created when you use the Service
- Study activity: questions you attempt, your answers, scores, time spent, bookmarks, mistakes and similar practice and test data. We use it to show your progress, performance analytics and weak areas.
- Leaderboard data: your display name, rank and scores for your course.
Payments
If you buy Premium, payment is handled by our payment processors: Razorpay on the web and Google Play Billing in the Android app. We never see or store your full card, UPI or bank details. We only receive confirmation that a payment succeeded and the details needed to manage your plan.
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage information: device type, operating system and app version, and crash and error logs, used to keep the Service working.
- Advertising data: for free-tier users, our ad partners may collect device identifiers (such as the Android advertising ID), general usage data and approximate location to serve and measure ads (see Advertising).
- Website analytics: on pyqbundle.com we use Google Analytics to understand visits, such as pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location (city or country), how you arrived and which buttons are clicked. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses.
We do not access your contacts, SMS, call logs or precise location.
2. How we use your information
- To provide and operate the Service: your account, practice history, progress, analytics and leaderboards.
- To process payments and give you Premium access.
- To show relevant ads to free-tier users and to measure ad performance.
- To send reminders and notifications you've enabled, including exam and recruitment alerts.
- To review job applications and contact applicants.
- To improve the Service and understand how it's used in aggregate.
- To respond to support requests, and to keep the Service secure and prevent abuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Advertising
Free-tier users see ads. On the web, these include our own first-party ads and Google AdSense. In the Android app, they include our own first-party ads and Google AdMob. Every ad request from our Android app asks for non-personalised ads by default. Premium subscribers never see ads.
You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads on some devices). Learn more about how Google uses data from ads at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
4. Service providers
We share information only with providers that help us run the Service, and when required by law. Each processes data under its own privacy policy:
| Provider | Used for |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Sign-in (authentication) and file storage |
| Vercel and Render | Hosting for the web app and backend |
| Razorpay | Payment processing on the web |
| Google Play Billing | Payment processing in the Android app |
| Google AdMob and Google AdSense | Advertising for free-tier users |
| Google Analytics | Website analytics on pyqbundle.com |
| Google Workspace (Google Sheets) | Storing job applications and earlier website sign-ups |
| GitHub Pages | Hosting for pyqbundle.com |
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public, or as part of a merger or acquisition (in which case this policy continues to apply).
5. Leaderboards
Other students can see your display name, rank and scores on your course's leaderboard. Your email address and phone number are never shown. We don't allow public posting of personal information by any user.
7. Data retention
We keep your account and study-activity data for as long as your account is active, so your progress and history stay available to you. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data, except records we must keep by law (such as payment records for tax purposes). Job applications are kept for up to 12 months after a role is filled, then deleted, unless you ask us to delete yours sooner.
8. Your rights and choices
- You can edit your profile information from within the app.
- You can request a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of your account by emailing us.
- You can turn off notifications and reminders in the app's settings.
- Upgrading to Premium removes ads, and with it ad-related data collection.
- Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can also withdraw consent and raise a grievance with us. If you're not satisfied with our response, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.
Email pyqbundle@gmail.com to use any of these rights. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.
9. Delete your account and data
To delete your PYQ Bundle account and its data, email pyqbundle@gmail.com from the email address linked to your account, with the subject "Delete my PYQ Bundle account".
What we delete: your account, profile, practice and test history, performance data, leaderboard entries and synced notes. What we may keep: payment records we're legally required to keep, and information needed to prevent fraud, for as long as the law requires.
Uninstalling the app does not delete your account. Deleting your account does not cancel a Google Play subscription: cancel it in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions.
To remove a job application or an earlier sign-up made through this website, email us from the address you used.
10. Children and young users
Many of our users are preparing for school-level or competitive exams and are under 18. We don't collect more information than we need to provide the Service, we don't show personalised ads based on age or grade, and we don't allow public posting of personal information. If you're under 18, please use PYQ Bundle with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian. If you're a parent or guardian and want your child's information removed, email pyqbundle@gmail.com and we'll act on your request.
11. Security and where data is stored
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and established service providers to protect your information. No system is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. Our providers may store and process data in India or other countries, under safeguards consistent with this policy and applicable law.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll change the effective date above when we do, and for material changes we'll make a reasonable effort to notify users in the app.
