Privacy Policy

Vidyashift

Vidyashift ("we," "us," "our") operates www.vidyashift.com and related programs, including the AI Exam Saathi workshop and future Vidyashift courses and webinars (together, the "Services"). This Policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how we protect it, and the choices and rights available to you.

This Policy covers our public-facing Website and workshops/courses. It does not cover institutional data shared under separate, signed consulting agreements, which are governed by those agreements' own confidentiality terms.

1. Information we collect

You give us directly: name, email, phone/WhatsApp number, city/state, and similar details when you register for a workshop, subscribe, or contact us; optional background details (e.g., target exam, preparation stage) collected via forms or workshop activities; messages you send us; and anything you voluntarily share for feedback during a live session.

Collected automatically: IP address, device/browser type, approximate location, pages visited, and referral source, typically via cookies and similar technologies (Section 5).

From third parties: payment confirmation from our payment/checkout partner, Razorpay or any other partner — we never receive or store your full card, UPI, or net-banking details; and basic registration/attendance data from any platform used to host a workshop, if different from our Website.

We don't intentionally collect sensitive personal data through the Website, and ask that you avoid including this in open-text fields or messages to us.

2. How we use your information

To register you for and give you access to a workshop or course; process payment and send confirmations; deliver the workshop link, reminders, and bonus resources; tell you about related programs (e.g., the 21-day accelerator) and other updates,respond to queries and provide support; improve our Website and content; keep records required for accounting, tax, and legal compliance; and detect and prevent fraud or misuse. The same may also be used with our partners and agencies.

3. Legal basis for processing

We process most personal data on the basis of your consent, given when you register, pay, or otherwise submit information to us. We may process limited data without separate consent where the law permits — for example, to respond to a request you've voluntarily made, or to meet a legal obligation such as tax record-keeping.

4. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:

• Payment partners  Razorpay to process payment

• Delivery and communication platforms (video conferencing, email, SMS, WhatsApp providers) to run the workshop and send communications

• Analytics and advertising partners (Section 5), aggregated or pseudonymised where possible

• Professional advisors (auditors, lawyers, accountants) 

• Government or regulatory authorities, where required by law or legal process

• Any other partner or agency as deemed fit 

• If a future Service routes your workshop responses or prompts through a third-party AI provider (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) as part of the Service itself .

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

The Website may use cookies for essential functions (e.g., keeping checkout working), analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and advertising/retargeting (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags). 

6. Storage, security, and retention

We apply reasonable security safeguards — access controls and encrypted transmission (HTTPS) — consistent with the IT Rules, 2011 and DPDP Law, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law, and delete or anonymise it afterward.

8. Children's privacy

Our Services are intended for people who are at least 18 or have otherwise reached the age of majority, consistent with the typical eligibility profile for government-exam aspirants. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children; if you believe a child has given us data, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. International data transfer

Some service providers (cloud hosting, analytics, communication tools) may store or process data outside India. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure an appropriate standard of protection, consistent with DPDP Law's cross-border transfer provisions.

10. Successors

We may reveal your personal data to any other organization that buys, or to which we transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets and business. If this sale or transfer takes place, we will use reasonable efforts to try to make sure that the organization we transfer your personal data to uses it in line with our privacy policy. If we were to engage in an acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding that involves the transfer of the information described in this Privacy Policy, we would share your information with a party involved in such a process.

Vidyashift Disclaimer

This Disclaimer applies to www.vidyashift.com (the "Website") and to all programs, workshops, courses, tools, and content offered under the Vidyashift brand, including the AI Exam Saathi workshop and any related follow-on programs such as the 21-day accelerator (together, the "Services"). By accessing the Website or enrolling in a Service, you agree to this Disclaimer. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.

1. Educational purpose only

All content, workshops, frameworks (including the E.D.G.E. and ROCO-V frameworks), prompts, worksheets, and bonus resources provided through the Services are for general educational and self-preparation purposes only. They are not official exam preparation material issued by any examining or recruiting body, and are not a substitute for the official syllabus, notification, or instructions of the relevant authority.

2. No guarantee of results

Vidyashift does not guarantee any specific outcome — including selection, rank, qualifying marks, interview success, or employment — in any government examination or recruitment process. Any testimonials or past-participant stories we share reflect individual circumstances and effort and are not a promise of similar results for you.

3. No official affiliation

Vidyashift and "AI Exam Saathi" are independently and privately operated. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or acting on behalf of UPSC, SSC, IBPS, any Railway Recruitment Board, any State Public Service Commission, any government department, or any other examination or recruitment authority. References to these bodies or exam categories describe who the workshop is designed for — nothing more. Always verify examination dates, eligibility, syllabus, and application instructions directly from the relevant official source.

4. AI-generated content and verification

The Services teach you to use AI as a feedback and diagnostic tool — to evaluate and strengthen your own answers — not to generate answers for you to pass off as your own original work. AI output, whether produced live in a session or through tools you use afterward, can be incomplete, outdated, or factually wrong, especially on current affairs or recently updated syllabi. You are responsible for verifying anything AI-assisted against official, authoritative sources before relying on it.

5. Third-party AI tools

Where the Services involve using third-party AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar) under your own account, your use of those tools is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the availability, accuracy, pricing, or data practices of any third-party AI tool.

6. Not professional advice

Nothing in the Services is legal, financial, career-counselling, or psychological advice. Interview-preparation content is illustrative and general, not a substitute for individualised professional guidance.

7. Third-party names and logos

Organisation names and logos reflect the past or present professional experience of Vidyashift's team members' advisors and do not imply any current partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement of Vidyashift by those organisations.

8. Pricing and availability

Pricing shown, including any introductory or pilot pricing, is offered on a limited-seat, limited-time basis at our discretion and is not guaranteed for future cohorts or advanced programs. Do read Refund & Cancellation Policy.

9. External links and third parties

The Website may reference third-party sites or platforms (e.g., payment or course-hosting platforms, official exam websites). We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vidyashift and its founders, employees, and associates are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Website or any Service, including decisions made in connection with an examination or recruitment process.

11. Changes to this Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer periodically. The revised version will be posted here

12. Governing law

This Disclaimer is governed by the laws of India. Courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra  have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any consumer forum you are entitled to approach under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

13 Logos and trademarks

All logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. They are shown here only to reflect the educational, professional, and speaker experiences of our individual team members. No endorsement or current partnership is implied.

Refund & Cancellation Policy

Vidyashift 

This Refund & Cancellation Policy applies to all paid workshops, courses, programs and services offered on or by  www.vidyashift.com, including the AI Exam Saathi workshop and the 21-day accelerator (together, the "Programs"). It should be read together with our Disclaimer and Privacy Policy. By completing a paid registration, you accept this Policy.

1. Cancelling your registration

You can cancel your registration and request a refund by writing to us at gaurav@vidyashift.com before the Program starts:

• Cancel 48 hours or more before the scheduled start time: full refund, minus any payment-gateway transaction fee actually deducted by our payment partner (a pass-through processing cost, not a cancellation charge).

• Cancel less than 48 hours before the start time, or after the session has begun: no cash refund; instead, at your request, we'll move your seat to the next available cohort, once.

• If you don't attend and don't cancel in advance, no refund or transfer applies.

2. If we cancel or reschedule

If we cancel, indefinitely postpone, or can't deliver a session for reasons within our control, you can choose a full refund or a free transfer to the next available cohort. We won't charge you a cancellation fee in this situation.

3. Technical issues on our end

If a technical failure on our side — a broken session link, platform outage, and similar — stops you from accessing a live session you registered for, we'll offer a recording (where available), a free transfer, or a refund, your choice. We're not responsible for issues caused by your own device, connection, or account access.

4. Downloadable bonus resources

Once you've downloaded or accessed a bonus resource (the prompt book, planner, tracker, checklist, or similar), that portion of your purchase is non-refundable, even if you cancel your session registration under Section 1.

5. No cancellation charges

We don't levy a cancellation charge on you for cancelling a confirmed registration, unless we would bear a similar charge ourselves if we cancelled the order — consistent with the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.

6. How to request a refund or cancellation

Email gaurav@vidyashift.com with your registered name, the email used at checkout, and your payment reference/transaction ID. We'll issue a ticket number and acknowledge your request within 48 hours, and resolve it within one month, in line with the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.

7. Refund method and timeline

Approved refunds go back to your original payment method through our payment partner Razorpay.. Once initiated, refunds typically reflect within 5–10 business days, though the exact timing depends on your bank or payment provider and isn't fully within our control.

8. Future and upsell programs

This Policy extends to other paid Vidyashift programs, including the 21-day accelerator, unless a specific program's registration page states different terms — in which case those terms will be shown to you before you pay.

9. Governing law

This Policy is governed by the laws of India. Courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra  have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any consumer forum you're entitled to approach under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted here
