Privacy Policy — Nityam mobile app
Last updated: 2 August 2026 · Applies to the Nityam Android application published by Yugam International School, Kanpur.
1. Who we are
Nityam is the learning app of Yugam International School, Kanpur ("the School", "we", "us"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and how to have it deleted. It covers the mobile app only. Use of the School website is covered by the School privacy policy.
2. Who holds an account
Nityam accounts are held by adults — parents, guardians and staff. A parent or guardian may use the app on behalf of a student in their care and is responsible for that use. We do not knowingly create accounts for children under 18 without a parent or guardian.
3. What the app collects
| Category | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Name, mobile number, email address, password (stored only as a hash), Google account identifier if you sign in with Google | To create and secure your account and sign you in |
| Profile | Profile photo, state, city, learning goal | To personalise the app and identify you to teachers |
| Learning activity | Course progress, bookmarks, personal notes, test attempts and scores, assignment submissions, attendance, live-class participation | To deliver teaching and keep the School's academic record |
| Content you create | Community posts, comments, doubts, reviews, chat messages, and voice notes you record in course discussions | To provide the discussion and doubt-solving features |
| Photos and camera | Images you choose or capture for your profile photo or a post | Only images you explicitly select are uploaded. The app does not scan your gallery. |
| Microphone | Audio you record when you press record on a voice note | Recording happens only while you hold or press record. The app never records in the background. |
| Order history | Records of courses or tests already purchased — item, amount, date and payment reference | To show your order history and to meet accounting law. The app only displays these records; it does not take payments. |
| Device and technical | Device model, operating system version, app version, IP address, signed-in device list and session times | Security, the device limit on accounts, and fixing faults |
We do not collect precise location, contacts, calendar, SMS or call logs. The app contains no advertising.
4. Payment information
The app does not take payments. Fees and course purchases are handled by the school office or on the School website, and enrolment is then applied to your account. Inside the app you can only view the resulting order history.
Where a payment is made on the School website, it is processed by Razorpay Software Private Limited. Card numbers, UPI IDs, bank credentials and one-time passwords are entered inside Razorpay's checkout and are never seen by, sent to, or stored by the School. We receive only the payment status and a reference number.
5. Who your information is shared with
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We share only with service providers that operate the app on our behalf:
- Razorpay — payment processing for purchases made on the School website (not in the app)
- Google — Sign in with Google, if you choose that method
- Expo (Expo Application Services) — delivery of app updates
- SMS and email providers — to send one-time passcodes and notifications
- Our cloud hosting provider — to store the data described above
We may also disclose information where required by law or by a lawful order of a court or authority.
6. How long it is kept
- Academic records — attendance, test attempts, assignments, results — are retained as School records for as long as the School is required to keep student records.
- Fee, order and payment records — retained for at least 8 years, as required by Indian tax and accounting law.
- Everything else — profile, photos, community posts, voice notes, notes, bookmarks, device history — is deleted when you delete your account, following the process below.
7. Deleting your account
You can request deletion from inside the app: Profile → Account → Delete Account, or by writing to intern4@yugam.co. A parent or guardian may request deletion of an account held for a student in their care by the same route.
The account is deactivated within 2 working days, held for 30 days so the request can be reversed if it was made in error, and the app data is then deleted. The academic and financial records listed in section 6 are retained. Full details, including exactly what is deleted, are on the account deletion page.
8. Your rights
You may ask us to give you a copy of your personal information, correct it, or delete it. Name, photo, city and goal can be corrected by you at any time in the app. For anything else, write to the address below. We respond within 30 days.
9. Security
Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit. Sign-in tokens are held in the device's secure storage. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Each account has a device limit, and you can see and sign out other devices from Profile → Active Sessions.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the change is significant, notify you in the app.
