Privacy policy
Last updated: 22 October 2026
This policy explains what the PandaBox Android app (package com.vnvclasses.pandabox) and this website collect, why, and what you can do about it. PandaBox is run by Vinisha Jain ("we", "us"). If you have any question, write to jain.vinisha1@gmail.com.
Who PandaBox is for
PandaBox is a study app for Class 9 students and their parents. It is not meant for children under 13. If you are under 18, please use PandaBox with your parent's or guardian's permission. Parents can contact us at any time to see, correct or delete their child's data.
What we collect
| What | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your account | When you sign in with Google: your name, email address, profile picture link and a Google account ID. | To create your account and sign you in. |
| Your choices in the app | The name you want Gyan Panda to call you, your class, app language, study goal and settings such as theme, Panda's voice and reminders. | To set up the app for you. |
| Your learning activity | Chapters and materials you finish, bookmarks, where you stopped in a video, quiz answers and scores, flashcard progress, study and focus time, streaks and badges. | To show your progress and the Parents report, bring back questions you got wrong, and back up your progress to your account so it isn't lost if you change phones. |
| Questions to Gyan Panda | The doubts you type, Panda's answers, the chapter you last opened and your class and language. We count how many doubts you ask each day. | To answer your doubt and to apply the daily limit. |
| Reported answers | If you tap "Report" on an answer: the question, the answer and the reason you chose. | So we can check the answer and make Gyan Panda better and safer. |
| Subscriptions (when offered) | If you subscribe, Google Play handles the payment. We receive only whether your subscription is active and a purchase reference. We never see your card or UPI details. | To unlock what you paid for. |
| Technical information | Like any online service, the servers that run PandaBox record basic technical details such as your IP address, device type and the time of each request. | To deliver lessons, keep the service secure and fix problems. |
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files, and we do not use your device's advertising ID. The app asks for permission to show notifications, which it uses only for study reminders and the Focus mode timer.
Gyan Panda (AI)
Gyan Panda's answers are written by an AI model from Anthropic. Your doubt, your recent messages in the chat and the context above are sent through our server to Anthropic to create the answer. We don't store your chats on our server, except answers you report. Anthropic processes the text only to give the answer and, under its commercial terms, does not use it to train its models. AI answers can be wrong, so check important things with your book or teacher.
Who helps us run PandaBox
We use these service providers, and they may handle your data only to run PandaBox for us:
- Supabase: sign-in, database and server functions. Our database is in Mumbai, India.
- Google: Sign in with Google and, when offered, payments through Google Play.
- Anthropic: the AI behind Gyan Panda.
- Cloudinary: stores and delivers the lesson videos, audio and pictures. It receives only technical information such as your IP address when a lesson loads.
Some of these providers may process data outside India. We don't sell or rent your data to anyone, and we don't share it for advertising. We would share data only if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while you have an account. When you delete your account, we delete your data within 30 days. Payment records are kept by Google Play under its own rules.
Your choices and rights
- See or correct your data: most of it is visible in the app. For a copy, write to us.
- Delete your account and data: see how to delete your account.
- Withdraw consent: you can stop using the app and ask us to delete your data at any time.
- Complaints: write to our grievance contact at jain.vinisha1@gmail.com. We reply within 30 days. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may also complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
How we protect your data
All data travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Database rules let each student read only their own records, and the AI key is kept on our server, never in the app.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
