At VidyayanAcademy.in, we truly care about the privacy of every student, parent, and visitor who comes to our platform. Our mission is to provide free notes, solutions, PDFs, and other study materials for students in Classes 6 to 10, and we’re dedicated to keeping your personal information safe, secure, and confidential. This Privacy Policy is here to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have as a user of our website. By accessing or using VidyayanAcademy.in, you’re agreeing to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Introduction
The internet has become a vital part of education, and millions of students today depend on online platforms for free resources. VidyayanAcademy.in is one of those platforms, committed to supporting students on their academic journey. As a digital educational platform, we may gather certain information when you interact with our website, whether directly (like through contact forms or email subscriptions) or indirectly (through cookies, analytics, and website usage data). This Privacy Policy aims not only to comply with applicable laws but also to reassure our users that their information will be handled responsibly, transparently, and solely for educational and service-related purposes.
Information We Collect
When you browse VidyayanAcademy.in or access our free study resources, some information may be collected automatically, while other details may be provided by you voluntarily. The information we gather generally falls into two categories: personal information and non-personal information.
Personal Information includes details that can directly identify you, such as your name, email address, or contact number. While most of our study resources are available without needing to register, there may be times when we ask for personal details—like when you subscribe to our newsletter, reach out to us through a form, or request updates about new study materials.
Non-Personal Information refers to data like your device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, and how you navigate our website. We gather this information automatically using cookies and analytics tools. While it doesn’t identify you personally, it plays a crucial role in helping us enhance our services and create a smoother learning experience for you.
We also utilize cookies to remember user preferences and monitor website performance. These tiny files are stored on your device and help us recall your choices, such as your preferred language or the pages you've visited before. Although cookies make our website more user-friendly, you can always choose to disable them through your browser settings if you prefer.
Why We Collect Information
Every bit of information we gather has a specific purpose. The main reason we collect data is to ensure we provide the best experience possible for our users. When you share your email address with us, it allows us to keep you updated with new study resources, important notifications, and other relevant information. By analyzing browsing data through cookies and analytics, we can see which chapters, subjects, or classes students are most interested in, enabling us to expand and enhance our content accordingly.
Additionally, collecting information helps us keep an eye on and prevent any misuse of our platform. For instance, if someone attempts to exploit our resources for commercial purposes or tries to harm the website, we can use technical data to identify and limit such activities. Our aim is not to invade anyone's privacy but to ensure fairness, safety, and reliability for every student.
How We Use Your Information
At VidyayanAcademy.in, we handle the information we collect in a responsible and limited way. We primarily use personal details for communication. For example, if you sign up for our newsletter, you’ll receive updates about new notes, PDF solutions, or study materials that are relevant to your class level. Similarly, if you reach out to us with a question, we’ll use your details solely to respond to your inquiry.
When it comes to non-personal information, we use it to make our website work better for everyone. For instance, if we notice that students are often downloading materials for Class 9 Science but not so much for Class 8 Social Science, we might decide to put more effort into enhancing the content for those less popular subjects.
We also utilize data for security reasons, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity, and ensuring our users are protected from spam and misuse. Plus, we might analyze anonymized data for research and reporting, like tracking how many students are accessing a specific chapter.
Sharing of Information
At VidyayanAcademy.in, we take confidentiality seriously and value the trust that students and parents place in us. We don’t sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for profit. However, there are a few situations where we might share limited information:
Service Providers: We collaborate with third-party companies that assist with website hosting, analytics, or technical support. These providers may have restricted access to user data but are bound by confidentiality agreements, ensuring they don’t misuse the information.
Legal Compliance: If the law, regulations, or government authorities require it, we may need to disclose certain information. For example, if there’s a court order or legal investigation, we might have to provide relevant data.
Website Improvement: Occasionally, we may share aggregated and anonymized data with partners or educators to help us assess and enhance our services. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are essential for creating a seamless user experience. They help us remember your preferences and optimize how we deliver content. For example, if you frequently download study notes for Class 7 Mathematics, cookies can assist us in recommending related materials or solutions the next time you visit.

Children’s Privacy
At VidyayanAcademy.in, we cater mainly to students in Classes 6 to 10, which means many of our users are minors. That's why safeguarding children's privacy is super important to us. We don’t intentionally collect personal information from kids under 13 unless we have parental consent. In most cases, students can enjoy our website without needing to share any personal details.
If we find out that a child under 13 has given us personal information, we’ll act quickly to delete it. We also encourage parents and guardians to keep an eye on their kids' online activities and to reach out to us if they think their child has shared personal data without permission.
User Rights and Choices
Every user of VidyayanAcademy.in has the right to manage their personal information. If you sign up for our newsletter but later decide you don’t want to receive emails anymore, you can easily unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions in the email.
You can also ask us to delete your personal information from our records by getting in touch with us directly. We’ll do our best to honor those requests in line with the law. Plus, if you prefer not to have your browsing behavior tracked, you can choose to disable cookies.
Updates to the Privacy Policy
The digital landscape is always changing, and so are privacy laws and technologies. VidyayanAcademy.in may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect any changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. Whenever we make updates, we’ll change the “Effective Date” at the top of the page.
We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy regularly to stay updated on how we protect your information. Any significant changes will be highlighted on our website, so you can review them before continuing to use our services.
