Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

Padhai Timer ("we", "us") is run by Padhai Labs, an independent project based in the Republic of Korea. This page explains what we collect when you use the Padhai Timer website or app, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Study data you create: the exam you choose, your subjects, study times, your 10-minute planner, your exam date and the groups you join.
Nickname: the name you choose for the study hall. Please don't use your real full name.
Stories you share: if you use "Share your story" on the Community page, we keep your nickname, exam and message. We only post it on the website if you agreed, with your nickname only.
Suggestions you send us: if you use the Suggestions form, we keep your message so we can improve the app. We don't reply one by one.
Account identifier: an anonymous ID created automatically. If you choose "Save with Google", we also receive the email address of that Google account so you can sign in on another phone.

We do not ask for your phone number, location, contacts, photos or payment details.

Why we use it

To show your timer, planner, weekly chart and streak.
To show you in the study hall and in groups you join.
To keep your log when you change phones (only if you sign in with Google).

Who can see it

Other signed-in users can see your nickname, exam, today's study time, whether you are studying now and the subject. Members of your groups see the same. Nobody else sees your full study log. We do not sell your data or show it to advertisers.

Where it is stored

Your data is stored with Google Firebase (Google Cloud), in the data centre region chosen for this service (asia-south1, Mumbai, India). A copy is also kept in your browser so the timer works offline.

How long we keep it

We keep your study log for up to 120 days of history. You can erase everything at any time from Settings → Erase my study log. This deletes your log and your study hall row.

Children and students under 18

Many exam aspirants are under 18. If you are under 18, please use Padhai Timer only with the agreement of your parent or guardian. Parents or guardians can ask us to delete a child's data by writing to the address below.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete your data, or withdraw your consent, by writing to padhai4018@gmail.com. We will reply within 30 days.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, show a notice in the app.
