Abhi Institutions
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 November 2026
This policy explains what personal data Abhi Institutions collects, why, who sees it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. We have tried to keep it plain. It is written to follow the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 of India.
1. Who is responsible
Abhi Institutions decides how and why your data is used on Abhi Institutions (in the Act's words, the "Data Fiduciary"). Address: Hyderabad,Telangana,India.
Privacy questions and complaints go to our grievance contact: Abhinav, abhinav05.nandyala@gmail.com.
2. What we collect
| What | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Name, email, role, password (stored only as a one-way scrambled value), and for students institute, roll number and class or year; for teachers department. Also when you agreed to the Terms. | To create and secure your account, and let administrators and teachers know who you are. |
| Test activity | Tests assigned to you, your answers, scores, times, written answers and any photos of answers you upload, practice tests you create. | To run tests, mark them and show results. |
| Exam integrity records | How many times you left the exam window or full screen, and whether the test was submitted automatically. | To apply the rules your teacher set for the test. |
| Camera monitoring (only if your teacher turns it on) | The camera is read for whether one face is facing the screen. Where the school has installed the in-browser face model (MediaPipe), this happens on your own device and only a result such as "looking left" is sent, never a picture. Otherwise small still pictures are sent about once a second and checked in memory. Pictures are never saved and no video is recorded. In the picture-based mode, to notice a turned head, one tiny blurred brightness pattern of your face (too coarse to identify you) is held in the server's memory until your test ends; it is never written to disk. We keep only short text notes such as "looked away for 9 seconds" with the time, and a short summary. | To give your teacher something to review. It does not identify you and does not decide anything. |
| Emails | A record of emails we sent you (subject, type, time and whether they were delivered). | To confirm your email, send test and result notices, and find delivery problems. |
| Messages to us | What you write in the contact form, including name and email. | To reply to you. |
| Technical data | The sign-in cookie, and your network address, which is used briefly to limit repeated sign-in attempts and may appear in server logs. | To keep you signed in and protect the service from abuse. |
We do not use advertising or analytics trackers, and we do not sell personal data.
3. Why we may use it, and your consent
We use your data to provide Abhi Institutions to you, which you agreed to when you signed up. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting your account (see "Your rights"). Withdrawing does not affect what we did before. If you withdraw, we can no longer provide the service to you.
4. AI services
To draft questions, help mark written answers, write some emails and summarise exam events, we send limited text to AI services run by other companies (currently OpenAI and Google). This may include a test topic, question text, the text or photo of a written answer that needs marking, and facts such as a test title or dates for an email. We don't send your password. We ask them only for the task at hand. Those companies handle the data under their own terms, and may process it outside India.
5. Who else sees your data
- Your teachers see the results, answers and exam records for tests they set. Practice tests are visible only to you.
- Administrators see account details, test lists, and the email log.
- Service providers who help us run the site: the email service that delivers our emails, the AI services above, and the hosting provider.
- Authorities, when the law requires it.
6. Children and young people
Some students are under 18. Under the Act, a child's data may be handled only with a parent's or guardian's verifiable consent, and schools and colleges handling it for teaching and safety have their own rules. If you are under 18, your school or college, or your parent or guardian, must agree to your use of Abhi Institutions. We do not show advertising, track children across other sites, or build profiles of them. Camera monitoring happens only when a teacher turns it on for a test, is explained before the test starts, and keeps no pictures. A parent or guardian who has a question or wants to exercise these rights for a child can contact us using the details above.
7. How long we keep it
- Account and test data stay while your account exists, so teachers keep their marks and you keep your history.
- When you delete your account, your name, email, roll number, practice tests, uploaded answer photos and contact messages are erased straight away. Results of assigned tests stay in your teacher's records, but they are no longer linked to your name or email.
- Camera pictures are never kept.
8. How we protect it
Passwords are hashed. Every request is checked on the server for who may see what. Sign-in and sign-up attempts are rate-limited. The site sets strict browser security headers. When deployed properly it runs only over HTTPS. No system is perfectly safe. If a breach of personal data affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
9. Your rights
Under the Act you can:
- Get a copy of your data: use "Download my data" in your profile under "Account and privacy".
- Correct or update it: edit your profile, change your password or email there.
- Have it erased: use "Delete my account" in the same place.
- Withdraw consent and complain: contact our grievance contact above. We aim to answer within 30 days, and always within the time the law allows.
- Nominate someone to exercise these rights for you if you die or cannot do so. Tell us by email.
If we haven't solved a complaint, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
10. Changes
If we change this policy in an important way, we will update the date above and ask you to accept the new version.
