Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
1. What information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, phone number, and location — when you register as a student or tutor. We also collect usage data (pages visited, search queries) to improve the product.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to provide and improve the platform, verify tutor identities, process Nearby Credit package payments, send transactional messages (connection confirmations, receipts), and prevent fraud. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Data sharing
We share data only with service providers who help us operate the platform (payment processors, cloud infrastructure, analytics). All third-party providers are bound by data processing agreements. We may disclose data if required by Indian law or court order.
4. Tutor profiles
Tutor profiles — including name, photo, subjects, and reviews — are visible to all users. This information is provided voluntarily by tutors and may be indexed by search engines.
5. Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and secure. We use analytics cookies (with your consent) to understand how the platform is used. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
6. Data retention
We retain your account data as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us — we will process your request within 30 days.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You may also object to processing or request data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@nearbytutor.in.
8. Contact
If you have questions about this policy, write to us at support@nearbytutor.in.
