Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the Maarg app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created by Maarg (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Freemium service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

Information Collection and Use

The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include:

Unique device identifiers (e.g. Firebase Installation ID)

The Application does not gather precise information about the location of your mobile device. The Application utilizes third-party Artificial Intelligence (AI) services (specifically Google Gemini and Groq APIs) solely to process and extract structured syllabus data from documents (such as PDFs) that you voluntarily upload. We do not use your documents or personal data to train these AI models.

The Service Provider may use the information you provided to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices and marketing promotions.
