Privacy Policy

How we handle your data, and your child's.

Effective: May 12, 2026 Version 1.0 Governed by India's DPDP Act, 2023

In short

Graddly is a learning companion for parents of K–12 students in India. We collect the minimum information needed to give you an honest read on your child's work, we delete photos within 90 days, and we never sell your data. The rest of this document explains the specifics in plain language. Where it gets technical, we've tried to footnote.

What we collect

When you sign in and use Graddly, we collect:

Where photos live

Photos are stored in Cloudflare R2, an encrypted object store. Access happens through signed URLs that expire within 15 minutes; no public URL ever points to your child's work. We auto-delete original photos after 90 days. The summarised analysis (text only) stays in your account so you can look back at past weeks.

You can delete any photo manually, at any time, from the app: tap the photo → Delete. You can also wipe everything in one go via Profile → Delete account (see below).

Third-party processors

We rely on a small, deliberate set of vendors. Each one signs a data processing agreement with us and is bound by Indian law where applicable:

We do not share your data with anyone outside this list.

Children's data & consent

Graddly is for parents, not children. The account holder is the parent or legal guardian. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act §9, processing of a child's personal data requires the verifiable consent of the parent or guardian, by creating an account and adding your child's profile, you are providing that consent.

We do not profile children for advertising. We do not show ads. We do not sell or share children's data. You may withdraw consent and delete your child's profile at any time.

Your rights

Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these, email hello@graddly.com. We'll respond within 7 working days.

Deleting your account

In the app: Profile → Delete account. This removes your account, every child profile under it, every photo, and every report, within 30 days. Some anonymised transactional records (e.g. tax invoices) are retained as required by Indian law.
