Welcome to easystudy. This mobile application and website are owned and operated by SMART WORKS (Proprietor: Tarique Anwer). At easystudy.in, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, share and safeguard your information when you use our app and website to access syllabi, PYQs, notes, videos, textbooks, tests, the AI Doubt Solver and games.
Account Information: Your first name, last name, email address and password when you register. Passwords are stored only in hashed form, never in plain text. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from your Google account. If you register using a referral code, we record that code.
Profile Information (optional): Phone number, profile photo, and academic details such as your university, college, course and department, if you add them in Edit Profile.
Learning Activity: Tests, mock tests and class tests you take, including your answers, scores and results; study materials you open or download; and your coin and reward history.
Content You Upload or Send:
Rewards and Redemption Information: If you take part in our rewards program or redeem coins, we collect your UPI ID to send payments. To verify your identity and eligibility and to prevent fraud, we may also ask for your date of birth and a photo of your college or other ID card. These are used only to review your request.
Games: If you use Games, we store your game ID, friends list, match invitations, moves, results and any reports you submit about other players.
Usage Data: Screens you visit, time spent on study materials and features, session information, and whether you are currently online or offline (with your timezone).
Device Information: Device model, operating system and version, app version, device language and timezone, IP address, Android Advertising ID, app set ID, and FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) tokens used to deliver push notifications to your device.
Install Referral: If you install the app from a referral link, we read the Google Play install referrer so we can apply the referral code to your registration.
What we do not collect: The easystudy app does not request access to your device's GPS location, contacts, SMS messages or call logs, and we do not work out your location from your IP address. (Our advertising partners may estimate an approximate location from your IP address; see Section 3.) The app reads files and photos on your device only when you choose them yourself. (Your Google profile picture, if you sign in with Google, comes from your Google account, not from your device.)
We use your data to:
Create and manage your account and let you sign in.
Provide educational services, tests and results, and personalized study recommendations.
Answer your questions in the AI Doubt Solver.
Process Reward Payments: Use your UPI ID to send monetary rewards for approved material submissions and coin redemptions, and verify your identity and eligibility before paying.
Run multiplayer games, friend lists and match invitations.
Credit referrals.
Push Notifications: Send real-time alerts about the status of your material submissions (approval or rejection) and notifications about new academic resources, PYQs and syllabus updates.
Respond to your support requests.
Show ads that keep our content free (see Section 3).
Monitor app performance, fix technical bugs, and prevent fraud and abuse.
Comply with legal obligations under Indian law.
To provide a seamless experience, we use trusted third-party services that may collect or process your information:
Google Sign-In: Used for account registration, login and secure account management if you choose to sign in with Google.
Google Play Services: For app functionality, including the Google Play install referrer used for referrals.
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM): To deliver push notifications.
AI Service Providers: Questions and photos you send to the AI Doubt Solver are sent to Google's Gemini AI service to generate an answer. We do not store your Doubt Solver questions or photos on our servers after the answer is returned; the AI provider handles them under its own terms. Please do not include personal or sensitive information in your questions or photos.
Hosting Provider: Our servers, and the data stored on them, are hosted by a third-party hosting provider.
YouTube: Some lecture videos open on YouTube, where YouTube's own privacy policy applies.
Payment Gateways/UPI Apps: To transfer rewards to your account.
Advertising (Google AdMob and partners): The app shows ads to keep our content free. Ads are served by Google AdMob and its mediation partners (AppLovin, InMobi, Meta Audience Network and Unity Ads). These providers may collect your device's Advertising ID, app set ID, IP address, approximate location estimated from your IP address, app interaction data, and diagnostic information about their software to show relevant ads, measure ad performance and prevent fraud. The app does not give these providers access to your device's GPS location. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies:
Your choices: You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads). Users in the European Economic Area and UK are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown, and can change that choice at any time.
Professors: If you take a class test created by a professor, that professor can see your answers and results for that test.
Other players: In Games, other students can see your name, profile photo, game ID and whether you are online when they look you up by game ID, add you as a friend or play a match with you.
EasyStudy staff: Authorized EasyStudy staff can access your account information and the content you submit, such as study materials, assignment solutions, redemption requests, ID card images and support messages. They do this to review submissions, process rewards, verify identity and provide support.
Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
We keep your personal data while your account is active. You can delete your account in two ways:
In the app: Settings → Delete Account.
On the web: through our portal at https://easystudy.in/account-deletion, or by emailing support@easystudy.in.
What happens when you delete your account: You are signed out on all devices and your account is deactivated immediately. 30 days after your request, we permanently delete your profile information, phone number, profile photo, device (FCM) tokens, ID card images, date of birth, usage data, uploaded files, game data and support messages. In other players' match history, your name is replaced with "Deleted player". If a reward payment is still owed to you at that point, the deletion waits until that payment has been completed.
What we may keep:
Records of reward payments made to you (your name, UPI ID, amount and date), stored in encrypted form for 8 years from the date of payment, as required for Indian tax and accounting records.
Study materials you contributed that were approved and published, which may remain available to other students without your name.
Limited information needed to prevent fraud or abuse, such as a record that an account was blocked.
Copies in server backups, which are overwritten in the normal backup cycle.
Data sent between the app and our servers travels over encrypted HTTPS connections. Passwords are stored only in hashed form. Access to administrative tools is limited to authorized staff, each with permissions for their role. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
easystudy is intended for college and university students and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact support@easystudy.in and we will delete it.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be announced in the app.
For any privacy-related concerns or data requests, please contact our grievance officer:
