This app ("we", "us", "the app") provides JNVST (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya) and OAVET (Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya) entrance exam preparation for Class 5 students in Odisha, India. It is currently operated by an individual, Gopinath Suna, based in Odisha, India, as a commercial product. This section will be updated with a registered business entity if and when one is incorporated.
Our users are primarily children around 10 years old. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), a child is anyone under 18, and we are required to obtain verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian before processing a child's personal data. We do not knowingly allow a student to create an account without a parent/guardian confirming they have reviewed this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use on the student's behalf, and we do not use a child's data for behavioural advertising or tracking outside this app.
We do not sell student data to third parties, and we do not use it to serve targeted advertising.
A student's exam answers and personal details are visible only to that student's account and to authorised app administrators for support and content-quality purposes. Leaderboards show a student's name/district and score to other students in the same district or state — a parent/guardian consenting to this policy consents to that limited, in-app visibility.
We retain account and exam data for as long as the account is active, so that progress history remains available to the student. If a parent/guardian requests deletion (see Section 8), we will delete or anonymise the student's personal data within a reasonable period, except where we are legally required to retain it.
We use a small number of trusted service providers to run the app, each of which processes data only on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service:
We do not permit any of these providers to use student data for their own purposes, such as advertising. These providers may store and process data on servers located outside India as part of delivering their service to us; we only work with providers that maintain strong security and confidentiality standards.
We use a small number of essential cookies and browser local storage — to keep a student logged in between visits, and to remember simple preferences like chosen language. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
We use industry-standard measures (encrypted connections, access-controlled databases, row-level security so a student can only ever see their own private data) to protect student information. No system is perfectly secure, and if we become aware of a data breach affecting personal data, we will notify affected users and the Data Protection Board of India, as required by law.
A parent or guardian may, at any time, request to review, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about their child, or withdraw consent (which will result in the account being deactivated). A parent/guardian may also nominate another individual to exercise these rights on the child's behalf in the event of the parent/guardian's death or incapacity, by writing to us at the contact below. To make any of these requests, contact our Grievance Officer at:

If you are not satisfied with how we have addressed your request or complaint, you have the right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India.
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes affecting how children's data is handled will be highlighted in-app and, where required, will require renewed parental consent.
