This Privacy Policy describes how Qallery collects, uses, stores, and protects your information. Your privacy matters to us.
Qallery is operated by Ingenii Digitalization LLP ("we", "us", "our"). Qallery is a learning and practice platform with user-created and AI-assisted learning content and tutoring through Quill. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your information.
We collect the following types of information: (a) Account information: username, sign-in credentials, optional recovery information, and any name, email, profile photo or identifier provided through Google or Apple sign-in; (b) Content: documents, images, and photos you upload; questions, options, answers, solutions, hashtags, messages you send to Quill, and any text you author on your profile; (c) Engagement data: which questions you attempted, what you answered, whether you were correct, time taken to answer, save / share actions, day streaks, current and best XP streak, total XP, and derived level; (d) Interests and learning preferences: courses and subjects you choose, daily learning goals, learning timezone, reminder time, and whether learning reminders are enabled; (e) Usage data: pages visited, features used, device information, IP address, and approximate location; (f) Payment information (if used): processed securely by Razorpay — we do not store your card or bank details. Anonymous visitors are tracked only via a randomly generated anonymous ID stored on your device (see section 5 below).
We use your information to: (a) provide and operate the Service — including learning practice, progress tracking, Quill tutoring and AI-assisted features; (b) compute and display engagement signals (XP, levels, streaks, accuracy) on your public profile and the leaderboard; (c) personalise what we show — the affinity ranker uses your past attempts to surface tags you engage with and topics you struggle on; (d) process payments and manage any credit balance; (e) improve the Service through analytics and usage patterns; (f) provide learning reminders you enable and communicate with you about your account, updates, or support requests; (g) detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or technical issues; (h) comply with legal obligations.
Qallery is a social platform. The following information is PUBLIC by default — anyone with the Service can see it without sign-in: (a) your display name and profile photo; (b) every question you post (stem, options, tags, difficulty, solution); (c) your level, total XP, current day streak, and best streak; (d) your overall accuracy percentage and number of questions attempted; (e) your position on the leaderboard within day / week / all-time windows. Other users can also save and share links to questions you posted; the recipient sees the question on a deep-link landing without needing to sign in. You can delete individual questions from your profile, or delete your entire account from Settings, at any time. We do not currently offer a private-only mode — if you do not want content to be public, do not post it.
You can begin learning without providing your real name, email address or phone number. We use a random device identifier and may assign a handle to create a learner account. Your learning activity and progress are associated with your current learner account in our backend. You can choose a username and PIN later to keep access to that account. Clearing browser storage or signing out does not itself delete backend learning history; use the account deletion option or contact us to request deletion.
We use AI to help compose learning content and provide Quill tutoring. When you use AI features, relevant question content, your messages, selected answers and conversation context may be sent to third-party AI service providers to generate explanations and responses. If you upload documents or photos for an AI feature, the content may be processed by AI and OCR providers for the requested task. Providers may include OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Avoid including PINs, passwords or unnecessary sensitive information in messages or uploads. We do not use your content to train our own AI models. Third-party processing is subject to the providers' privacy terms and applicable data-processing arrangements.
We share your information only as follows: (a) other users: public profile data, posted questions, level / streak / accuracy / leaderboard rank as described in section 4; (b) service providers: cloud hosting (Amazon Web Services), identity (Google, Apple, Firebase Auth), payment processing (Razorpay), product analytics (PostHog), and AI/OCR processing (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) — under applicable provider terms and data-processing arrangements; (c) advertising partners: Google AdSense on the web and Google AdMob in our apps, which receive the technical and device information described in section 12; (d) legal requirements: we may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety. We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not share your name, email address, uploaded documents, or the content of your questions and answers with advertisers.
Your data is stored on servers in India (AWS Mumbai region), regardless of which country you access the Service from. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is completely secure; we will notify you of significant data breaches as required by applicable law.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. After account deletion: (a) your personal data, posted questions, attempts, saves, interests, XP, and engagement signals are deleted within 30 days; (b) anonymised usage data may be retained for analytics; (c) data required by law may be retained for the legally mandated period. Backups containing your data are purged within 90 days of deletion. Clearing browser storage removes the device identifier from that browser but does not itself delete the associated backend records. You can request deletion by contacting us.
You have the right to: (a) access your personal data; (b) correct inaccurate data — name and photo can be edited from the Edit Profile sheet, interests from Settings; (c) request deletion of your data — you can delete your account from Settings, or request manual deletion by email; (d) export your data in a portable format; (e) withdraw consent for optional processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@qallery.app. We will respond within 30 days.
We use cookies and browser storage to maintain sign-in, a random device identifier and preferences such as theme, sound and vibration. Lesson completion, study history and streaks are maintained in our backend and are not determined by device storage. We use PostHog product analytics to understand views, actions, errors and feature use; this may involve cookies or similar identifiers. PINs and passwords are excluded from product analytics. Advertising partners may also use cookies and device identifiers as explained in section 12. You can control browser storage in your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly if it is disabled. Clearing browser storage does not delete backend account data.
Qallery is free to use and is funded in part by advertising. We show ads on the web through Google AdSense and in our Android and iOS apps through Google AdMob. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to Qallery and to other websites and apps. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Qallery and other sites on the internet. The information these partners receive is technical rather than personal: it includes your IP address, device and browser type, the page or screen the ad appeared on, and an advertising identifier. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com, and you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices. On Android and iOS you can also reset or limit your advertising identifier from your device settings. Where the law where you live requires your consent before personalised ads are shown, we ask for that consent through Google's consent message, and you can change your answer at any time from the same message. We do not share your name, email address, uploaded documents, or the content of your questions and answers with advertisers, and we do not permit advertisers to target you using them. Premium subscribers are not shown ads.
Qallery is open to learners aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13, or under whatever higher age your country's law sets for a child to use a service like this without parental consent. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority in your country, if lower), you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service. Parents who believe their child has provided personal data to us without consent can email hello@qallery.app to request deletion.
Your data is stored in India regardless of where you are in the world, so using the Service from outside India means your data is transferred to and processed in India — by using the Service you consent to that transfer. Some processing, including AI features and product analytics, may involve service providers and servers outside India. Wherever your data is transferred, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through contractual agreements with our service providers.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will notify you via email or in-app notification.
