What Aarambh stores about you, who else sees it, and how to get rid of it.
Effective 15 September 2026 · Applies to aarambh.saravonix.com and the Aarambh app
This policy covers Aarambh specifically. Saravonix Technologies Private Limited also publishes a company privacy policy covering its website and enterprise work. Where the two differ about Aarambh, this one applies.
Aarambh is run by Saravonix Technologies Private Limited, incorporated in Coimbatore, India. We are the data fiduciary for the information described here.
Privacy questions and requests: privacy@saravonix.com. That address is also our Grievance Officer contact under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email address, and your name if you give one | To create your account, sign you in, and email you about your account |
| A password, stored only as a one-way hash — or, if you use Google, your Google account identifier | To sign you in. We never store your password itself, and never see your Google password |
| Your study plan: exam, start and exam dates, hours a day, rest days, the order of papers and chapters, and which chapters you have finished | This is the product. Without it there is no plan |
| What you log: hours and pages studied each day, and any note you add | To track your progress and adjust the plan when you fall behind |
| Preferences: theme, language, reminder time and time zone | To keep the app the way you set it |
| Sign-in sessions: a hashed token, your browser's user-agent string, and the IP address it connected from | To keep you signed in, and to let you see and end sessions you do not recognise |
| Feedback and ratings you send us, with your email and app version | To read it, reply if needed, and fix what you tell us about |
| A referral code, and which accounts joined through it | Only so we can tell you how many people you brought |
| Push notification subscription, if you turn reminders on | To send the daily reminder you asked for |
| Billing details if you ever subscribe: payment reference, invoice number, amount, and the state you are in | Required to issue a valid GST invoice |
We do not collect your card or bank details — those go straight to our payment provider and never reach us. We do not use advertising trackers, we do not run third-party analytics, and we do not sell or rent your information to anybody, for any purpose.
If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your Google account identifier, your email address, whether Google has verified it, and your name. We use these only to create and sign you into your Aarambh account. Signing in with Google is optional — an email and password works just as well.
Aarambh can put your study plan into your own Google Calendar. This is optional and off by default, and you are asked for permission separately, at the moment you turn it on.
When you turn it on, Aarambh:
Aarambh never reads your existing calendars or events, never sees who you are meeting or when you are busy, and never touches an event it did not create. Nothing from your calendar is shown to anyone else.
Limited Use. Aarambh's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In plain terms: we use Google data only to provide the feature you asked for, we do not transfer it to others except as needed to run the service or where the law requires it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not allow humans to read it except with your permission, for security, or where the law requires it.
You can withdraw Calendar access at any time in the app, or from your Google account permissions page. Doing so stops all further access immediately.
We use a small number of service providers to run Aarambh. They process data on our instructions only, and none of them are permitted to use it for their own purposes.
| Provider | What it does |
|---|---|
| Railway | Runs our servers and database — this is where your account and plan are stored |
| Netlify | Serves the app to your browser |
| Sign-in, and Calendar if you enable it | |
| Resend | Sends account emails, such as verification and password reset |
| Razorpay | Takes payment, if you ever subscribe |
| Anthropic | Powers AI study features, once they are available and only if you use them. Where AI is used, we send it what is needed to answer — such as the chapter you are studying — and we tell you when a feature is AI-generated |
Some of these providers operate outside India, so your information may be processed abroad.
Email privacy@saravonix.com from the address you signed up with, and we will delete your account and everything described above within 30 days, except invoices where the law requires us to keep them. We will confirm when it is done.
If you had enabled Calendar sync, deleting your account also ends our access to your Google account.
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask us to:
Write to privacy@saravonix.com. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Many people preparing for these exams are under 18. Indian law treats anyone under 18 as a child, and requires a parent or guardian's consent before their personal data is processed.
If you are under 18, please use Aarambh with your parent or guardian's permission. We do not knowingly create accounts for children without it. A parent or guardian can write to us at privacy@saravonix.com to see what we hold about their child, or to have it deleted, and we will act on it without question.
We do not show advertising to anyone, and we do not track or profile children.
No service can promise perfect security. If a breach ever affects your data, we will tell you and the Data Protection Board as the law requires.
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top always shows the current version.
