We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in.

User Of Information Obtained by Gyan Academy

We may use your contact information to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Gyan Academy and its partners that we think you may find valuable. Gyan Academymay also send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the Service. Generally, you may opt out of such emails, although Gyan Academy reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Profile information is used by Gyan Academy primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the Service and to be presented to other users. In some cases, other users may be able to supplement your profile, including by submitting comments.

Gyan Academy may use aggregate or anonymous data collected through the Service, including Activity Data, for any purpose. This data may be used by Gyan Academy and shared with third parties in any manner.

Sharing Your Personally-Identifiable Information with Third Parties

Gyan Academy shares your personally-identifiable information only in limited circumstances where Gyan Academy believes such sharing is reasonably necessary to offer the Service, legally required or, permitted by you.

For example:

We may provide personally-identifiable information to service providers who help us bring you the Service, such as hosting the Service at a co-location facility or sending email updates. In connection with these operations, our service providers may have access to personally-identifiable information for use for a limited time. Where we utilize service providers for the processing of any of personally-identifiable information, we implement reasonable contractual protections limiting the use of that personally-identifiable information to the provision of services to Gyan Academy.

Notwithstanding anything else in this policy, we may work with partners who use mobile SDKs, including the  Messaging SDK, to passively collect information (collectively, “SDK Information”), which generally helps us deliver personalized notifications. This data may also be used to identify you in a unique manner across other devices or browsers for the purposes of customizing ads or content. Depending on the permissions granted to this application, this information may include personally identifiable information (PII) including your e-mail address. This information may also include precise location (i.e. GPS-level data) or WiFi information, apps you have installed and enabled, and your mobile identifier (e.g., Android Advertising ID). 

Consumer Control & Opt-Out Options

1. Opting-out of  Push Notifications - You may in most cases opt out of receiving push notifications by going to your device “Settings” and clicking on “Notifications,” and then changing those settings for some or all of the apps on your device. (Different device configurations, or updates to devices, may affect or change how these settings work.)
2. Opting Out of “Cross-App” Advertising on Mobile Devices - You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of interest-based (also called “cross-app”) mobile behavioral advertising, by accessing the “settings” on your Apple or Android mobile device, as follows: By opening the Google Settings app on your device, selecting Ads, and then selecting the option to opt-out of interest-based ads. (Different device configurations, or updates to devices, may affect or change how these settings work.)

We may be required to disclose personally-identifiable information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. Additionally, we may share account or other personally-identifiable information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Service or using the Gyan Academy name, or to prevent imminent harm. This may include sharing personally-identifiable information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Gyan Academy business, or individual business units or assets owned by Gyan Academy that are related to the Service, were to change, your personally-identifiable information may be transferred to the new owner. In any such transfer of information, your personally-identifiable information would remain subject to this section.
