Privacy policy

This policy explains how SOPHOMORE LABS (Udyam Reg. No. UDYAM-MH-26-1270067), a proprietorship of Arsh Aryan ("Praxis", "we") collects and uses your personal data when you use Praxis. We process personal data in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and applicable rules.

Who can use Praxis

Praxis is only for people aged 18 or older. We ask for your date of birth at sign-up and do not knowingly process data of anyone under 18.

Data we collect

• Account data: name, email address, and sign-in details (including Google sign-in if you choose it).
• Profile data: date of birth, education details (class, board, stream, college, degree, semester), subjects and target exams.
• Planner data: your routine, goals, syllabus text you paste, tasks, calendar events, check-ins and focus sessions.
• Files you upload: syllabus PDFs or photos, mock-test scorecards and answer sheets.
• Community data: your pods, posts and messages, reports you make or receive, and when you join a study room.
• Device data needed for reminders: push notification tokens.
• Payment data: subscription status and payment references (including the UPI transaction reference/UTR you enter). We never see or store your card details, UPI PIN or bank login.
• Usage data: basic analytics and error reports to keep the service working.

Why we use it

• To create and schedule your study plans, send the reminders you turned on, and run your account.
• To process payments for Pro.
• To keep Praxis secure and fix problems.

We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.

AI processing

Some features use AI: building study plans, reading an uploaded syllabus, making practice tests, analysing mock scorecards and suggesting marks for answer sheets. For these, only what the request needs (for example your goal, syllabus, subjects, availability, or the file you uploaded) is sent to one of our AI providers. We do not send your email address.

Our main provider is Google Gemini. If it is busy or unavailable, the same request may go to a backup: Groq, OpenRouter (which routes it to an open model such as Llama or GPT-OSS), or Anthropic (Claude). Some of these may be used on free plans, where the provider can keep or review inputs under its own terms, so please don't put sensitive personal details in notes or uploads.

Plan outlines (subjects, units and timings, without your name or notes) may be reused to build plans for other students with the same syllabus.

Video study rooms are camera-only. A safety check for inappropriate video runs on your own device; your video is not recorded or stored by us.

Sharing with your institute

If you join a batch with an institute's join code, and agree on the consent screen, that institute's teachers can see your study progress, test results and leave requests for that batch. You can leave a batch at any time from Settings, which stops new sharing.

Service providers

We use trusted processors to run Praxis: Supabase (database, file storage and sign-in), Vercel (hosting), Google, Groq, OpenRouter and Anthropic (AI), LiveKit (video study rooms), Upstash (rate limiting), Resend (email), Razorpay (card and online payments), and analytics/error tools. Some may process data outside India under appropriate safeguards.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your data at any time from Settings → Account, or by writing to praxis.planapp+support@gmail.com. You can withdraw consent by deleting your account.

Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except records we must keep by law (such as payment invoices).
