Privacy Policy
This app is an educational study application published by Minishala / Videokatta. It provides grade-level study material aligned with school curriculum for students. We designed the app so you can learn without creating an account. We do not sell your personal information.
Information we do not collect by default
We do not require registration to use study content (notes, MCQs, exams, videos, PDFs, and related materials). We do not ask for your location, contacts, photos, or microphone for normal use of the app.
Optional information you may provide
If you choose to use profile or report features, you may enter information such as:
- Display name and optional school name
- Mobile number (optional), for reports or linking notifications
This is stored on your device and, when you use online features, may be sent to our server only to support leaderboard, progress reports, or notifications you request. You can clear local profile data from within the app where available.
Data stored on your device
The app may store on your phone:
- Quiz and exam progress, scores, and preferences (for example language choice)
- Cached study content to load faster
- App settings and dismissed announcements
This stays on your device unless you use features that sync with our server.
Server and connectivity
To download study material and app updates, the app connects to mini-shala.in. Our server may receive basic technical information needed to deliver content (for example app version and which grade app you use). If you enable push notifications, we store a device notification token (and optional mobile number if you link it) so we can send study alerts you agree to receive.
Advertising
Some versions of the app show ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect or use device identifiers and similar data to show and measure ads, according to Google's Privacy Policy. You may see a consent message where required by law.
Third-party services
- Google Play services (app updates, integrity)
- Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (optional push notifications)
- Google AdMob (advertising, when enabled)
Children
The app is intended for school students and families. We do not knowingly collect more information than needed for learning features. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information incorrectly, contact us and we will help remove it.
Security and retention
We use reasonable measures to protect data on our servers. Server-side notification tokens and optional profile-related data are kept only as long as needed to operate the service or until you ask us to delete them where applicable.
Changes
We may update this policy when the app or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
