Privacy policy

This is a plain-language privacy policy for the ScholarMind Android app and the early-tester survey. ScholarMind is made by Urja Labs. Last updated: 10 July 2026.

The short version

Your study material stays on your phone. Books you download, notes you add, and the questions you ask the AI are processed on the device — we never see them. The only personal data on our servers is the small study profile you create when you sign in, and you can delete it any time.

What the app collects

Study profile (only if you sign in). Signing in with Google is optional. If you do, we store your name, email, class/exam choice and exam date on our server so your profile follows you across devices. That's the whole list.

Anonymous usage analytics. The app sends anonymous event counters — for example "a chapter was downloaded" or "a quiz was finished" — with basic device info (model, Android version) under a random install ID. This is never linked to your Google account, and it never contains what you read, type or ask.

Content-error reports. If you report a mistake in a question, the report is anonymous — it identifies the content, not you.

Purchases. The Season Pass is bought through Google Play. Google processes the payment; we never see your card or bank details.

What the app never collects

Your questions to the AI, your notes, your documents, your photos, your quiz answers, your location. The AI runs on your phone — your study life is not uploaded. We show no ads, we do no behavioural tracking, and we do not sell any data to anyone.

How each feature handles data

Reading, quizzes, games. Books and study material download from our servers to your phone, then everything runs on the device.

Snap a doubt. The photo is read on your phone. It is never uploaded and never stored by us.

Ask a YouTube video. If you paste a video link, that link is sent to our server to fetch the video's public transcript. The transcript is processed on your phone for that session and is not stored on our servers.

Play with friends. Rooms run over your local Wi-Fi, phone to phone — the name you choose and your scores are shared with the players in the room, and nothing goes through the internet.

Deleting your data

In the app: Me tab → Account → Delete my account — this immediately removes your account and study profile from our server. You can also request deletion by email — see the account deletion page. Parents and guardians can make either request on their child's behalf.

The pilot sign-up survey

The pilot sign-up collects only what you choose to type: your class, how you study, your views, your phone model — and, only if you opt in as a tester, your Gmail address and a contact. The Gmail address is used for exactly one thing: adding you to the Google Play test list so you receive the install invite. It's voluntary, you can leave any field blank, and we never use survey answers for advertising. Want a response removed? Email us.

If you're under 18

ScholarMind is made for school students, and we take that seriously. The app's core — the library, reading, quizzes and games — works without any account, so you can use it without sharing any personal data at all. If you're under 18, please sign in, buy a Season Pass, or fill the survey only with a parent's or guardian's permission. We collect the minimum we can, we never profile or track students, and a parent or guardian can ask us to delete a child's data at any time using the deletion page or the email below.
