• The Unlockian Android Mobile Application published on the Google Play Store under package ID: com.unlockian.unlockian_app.
• The official web portal and API services available at https://www.unlockian.com.
• Work-Integrated Learning tracks, online coding IDEs, corporate simulations, and certification verification endpoints.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to deliver our educational and engineering platform:

A. Personal Information Provided by You

• Account Details: Full name, verified email address, mobile phone number, username, and secure hashed password.
• Academic & Professional Profile: College or university name, degree, year of graduation, branch, GitHub profile link, and LinkedIn profile link.
• Course Submissions & Notes: Code submissions, lesson notes, review feedback, project milestone outputs, and quiz responses.

B. Information Collected Automatically (Technical Telemetry)

• Device Identifiers: Device manufacturer, hardware model, operating system version (Android / iOS), screen resolution, and app build number.
• Network & Log Data: IP address, network connection type (Wi-Fi or Cellular), access timestamps, API response latencies, and crash logs.

3. Mobile Application Permissions Disclosed (Google Play Store)

In accordance with Google Play Developer Policies, we explicitly document every permission requested by the Unlockian Android App (com.unlockian.unlockian_app):

Note on Sensitive Permissions: The Unlockian mobile app does NOT access your location (GPS), contact book, phone calls, SMS messages, camera, or local microphone.

4. Push Notifications & Daily Study Reminders

To help students maintain consistent learning habits and complete corporate sprints, Unlockian utilizes Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM):

• Morning Notification: Dispatched at 6:00 AM local time with a daily motivational reminder and sprint goal.
• Evening Reminder: Dispatched at 5:00 PM local time to encourage completion of scheduled video lectures or code assignments.
• User Control: You can manage or disable push notifications at any moment via your Android device's Settings > Apps > Unlockian > Notifications or within your in-app profile settings.

5. Payment Security & Financial Data (Razorpay)

Unlockian offers course access through verified tiers, including Starter packs (₹2,399) and Pro packs (₹3,499).

• All monetary transactions are processed through Razorpay Software Private Limited, an RBI-regulated, PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateway.
• Zero Card Storage: Unlockian servers never receive, collect, or store credit card numbers, debit card numbers, CVVs, expiry dates, or UPI PINs.
• We only store high-level non-sensitive transaction metadata (Order ID, Payment ID, Plan Tier, and Status) for invoicing and subscription entitlement validation.

6. Code Provenance & Cryptographic Proof-of-Work

When users submit source code or complete milestone evaluations:

• Automated test pipelines run assertion checks inside isolated cloud containers.
• A SHA-256 cryptographic commit hash is recorded to create an immutable proof-of-work history for hiring partners, university cohorts, and certification audits.
• Code submitted for coursework remains the academic intellectual property of the respective student and course creator.

7. How We Use and Share Information

We use your information strictly for legitimate educational, operational, and security purposes:

• To deliver interactive video streaming, lessons, coding exercises, and automated test evaluations.
• To verify student identity for verifiable certificate issuance.
• To protect our infrastructure against cyber attacks, automated scraping, credential stuffing, and abuse.
• No Selling of Data: Unlockian never sells, rents, or monetizes your personal data or email address to third-party data brokers or advertisers.
• Corporate / College Sharing: If you are enrolled under an institutional partnership (e.g. college cohort), aggregate progress data is accessible by authorized campus administrators and designated hiring mentors.

8. Third-Party SDKs and Services

We work with trusted industry service providers who comply with stringent security standards:

• Google Firebase & Google Play Services (Google LLC): Cloud messaging (FCM), app distribution, and system performance diagnostics.
• Razorpay Software Private Limited: PCI-DSS certified payment processing.
• Cloud Edge Infrastructure: Encrypted content delivery networks and secure HLS video transcoders.

9. Data Retention & Account / Data Deletion Rights

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide educational credentials and comply with statutory legal requirements.

Unlockian is designed for university students, job seekers, and adult professionals. Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where required by regional law). If we become aware that a child under 13 has registered without verified parental consent, we will immediately take steps to remove such data and terminate the account.

11. Data Security & Encryption Standards

We enforce stringent technical and organizational safeguards across all environments:

• Encryption in Transit: All communications between the mobile app, web browser, and our cloud APIs are secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS).
• Encryption at Rest: Database backups and media repositories are stored using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
