Your account information is retained for as long as your account remains active. Your virtual portfolio and progress data are stored on your device and remain there until you delete them, reset your portfolio, delete your account, or uninstall the App.

7. Your Rights and Choices

7.1 Delete your account

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account within the App. This removes your StockShaala data (XP, streak, virtual portfolio) from your device and signs you out. Because sign-in is via Google, you may return at any time by signing in again with the same Google account.

You can reset your virtual portfolio at any time from Profile → Reset Virtual Portfolio.

Depending on your jurisdiction (including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures, including secure authentication via Firebase and on-device storage for sensitive simulation data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfer

Your information may be processed on servers operated by Google/Firebase located outside your country of residence. By using the App, you consent to such transfer in accordance with this policy.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this URL with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
