Vidhya Grading app privacy policy
Vidhya Grading is the Android app teachers use to scan students’ answer sheets with their phone camera and send them to their Vidhya account for marking. This page explains what the app does with information on your phone and what it sends to Vidhya. Once answer sheets reach Vidhya, our main privacy policy covers how they are marked, shared, kept and deleted.
1. Who we are
The Vidhya Grading app is published on Google Play by Veda Intelligence Private Limited, CIN U62090PB2025PTC065317, registered office A-841, Bestech Business, Towers, Sector 66, Chandigarh Sector 65, S.A.S.Nagar (Mohali), Rupnagar- 160062, Punjab, India (“Vidhya”, “we”, “us”).
2. Who the app is for
The app is for teachers and schools. It is not meant for children, and students do not use it. You can scan without an account. To upload, you connect the app to your Vidhya teacher account.
3. Permissions the app uses
- Camera: to photograph answer sheets. The live camera view is used only to find the edges of the page. Only the pages you capture are saved, and the app never records video or sound.
- Internet: to connect to your Vidhya account and upload the pages you choose.
- Vibration: a short buzz when a page is captured.
The app does not ask for your location, contacts, microphone, call logs or access to your other photos and files.
4. What stays on your phone
- The pages you scan, saved as photos in the phone’s Documents/VidhyaScanner folder, grouped by the batch and student folder names you choose.
- A random ID the app creates for your phone, so Vidhya can tell your devices apart.
- When you connect: your Vidhya account name and email, and a sign-in key for uploads. The sign-in key is stored encrypted on the phone.
- A short record of which students have already been uploaded, so a retried upload does not send anyone twice.
None of this leaves your phone until you connect the app or upload.
5. What the app sends to Vidhya
The app talks only to Vidhya, at app.vidhya.ai, and only over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
- When you connect: you sign in with your Google account on Vidhya’s website in your phone’s browser. The app never sees your Google password. It then sends Vidhya its random ID and your phone’s make and model (for example “Samsung Galaxy”), so you can see and remove connected phones from your account.
- When you upload: the pages you select, with the batch and student folder names. If one student’s pages are very large, the app makes smaller temporary copies for the upload and deletes them afterwards. Your saved scans are not changed.
- When you disconnect: the app tells Vidhya to end that phone’s connection and removes the sign-in key from the phone.
6. What the app does not do
- It shows no ads and contains no advertising or analytics trackers.
- It does not sell or share your information with anyone else.
- It does not track your location or build a profile of you or your students.
7. Students’ answer sheets
Answer sheets often show a student’s name, roll number and work. Teachers and schools must have the permission needed, from the school or a parent or guardian, before scanning and uploading a student’s answer sheets. After upload, the sheets are handled as described in sections 5 to 9 of our main privacy policy: we mark them only for the teacher who uploaded them, nothing reaches students or parents until the teacher approves it, and students’ information is never used for advertising.
8. Security
Uploads use encrypted connections, the sign-in key is encrypted on the phone, and each connection works only for the teacher who created it. You can end a phone’s connection at any time with Disconnect in the app, or from your Vidhya account settings.
9. Deleting your information
- On your phone: delete a batch in the app’s Folders page. Scans in Documents/VidhyaScanner can also be deleted with your phone’s Files app. Uninstalling the app may leave those scans on the phone, so delete them first if you no longer need them.
- On Vidhya: delete uploaded sheets from your Vidhya account, or email hello@vidhya.ai to ask us to delete your account and everything uploaded with it. We delete your account, connected phones, uploaded answer sheets, marks and results within 30 days of your request. We keep only records the law requires, such as payment and tax records, for as long as Indian law requires.
10. Changes to this policy
If the app starts handling information differently, we will update this page and the date at the top before the new version reaches Google Play.
