Your data.In plain terms.
We build bite-sized learning cards, not data files on you.
This policy explains exactly what ShftPlay collects when you learn, revise, and track your progress — what we do with it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to the ShftPlay app and shftplay.com, operated by ShftPlay, India.
“Collect only what helps you learn. Never sell what we collect.”
Introduction & Scope
This policy applies wherever ShftPlay shows up — the app, our website, and any related services.
ShftPlay is a bite-sized learning and revision platform that turns complex concepts into short, visual, and interactive learning experiences. We’re starting with UI/UX learning, with plans to grow into Finance, Law, Class 8–12 education, and government-job and competitive-exam preparation.
ShftPlay is operated by ShftPlay, based in Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use ShftPlay, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices available to you.
By downloading, accessing, or using ShftPlay, you agree to the practices described here. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App. This policy covers ShftPlay’s mobile app and shftplay.com, and applies to users everywhere, with rights and protections specific to your location noted in Section 10.

The ShftPlay website uses three kinds of cookies. Here’s what each one is for.
Essential
Essential cookies
Help the website function — things like staying logged in and remembering basic settings.
Analytics
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how the website is used, so we can improve the experience.
Advertising
Advertising cookies
Used by our advertising partners to deliver and measure ads, where applicable.
You can manage non-essential cookie preferences through the website’s cookie-consent tool and/or your browser settings, subject to applicable law.
Analytics & Advertising
We use a small, named set of providers — nothing beyond what’s listed here.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand website usage, feature usage, traffic, product performance, general engagement, and technical or performance issues.
Advertising. ShftPlay uses advertising services to display, measure, and improve ads. We distinguish between where each provider operates:
Website
Google AdSense
May be used to serve advertising on shftplay.com.
In-App
Meta Audience Network & Unity Ads
May be used to serve advertising inside the ShftPlay app.
These providers may use cookies, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, or similar technologies according to their own privacy practices. Not every provider necessarily collects every type of data described in this policy.
How We Share Information
We don’t sell your personal information. We share it only where it’s needed to run ShftPlay, or where the law requires it.
Our current third-party service providers are:
- MSG91
- Phone-number verification and OTP delivery.
- Supabase
- Backend and database infrastructure.
- Analytics (Google Analytics) and website advertising (Google AdSense).
- Meta
- In-app advertising (Meta Audience Network).
- Unity
- In-app advertising (Unity Ads).
Beyond these providers, we may share information in the following circumstances:
01
Legal requirements
When required by applicable law, legal process, court order, or government request.
02
Safety & security
Where reasonably necessary to detect fraud, prevent abuse, or protect users and ShftPlay.
03
Business transfers
If ShftPlay is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
04
With your consent
For any other purpose where you’ve given us appropriate consent.
Payments & Subscriptions
ShftPlay runs on a freemium model — free access to selected content, with Premium unlocking the rest.
Free
- Selected learning content
- Basic revision cards
- Limited features
Premium
- Full courses & complete card libraries
- Advanced revision & interview preparation
- Saved content & detailed progress tracking
Our payment processing setup hasn’t been finalized yet. When you subscribe, your payment information is processed by the relevant payment platform or app store used for the purchase — ShftPlay does not store your full card or bank details. We may receive and store information such as your subscription status, subscription type, purchase or transaction identifier, start and expiry dates, and whether a subscription is active or cancelled, so we can grant you the right access.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as it’s genuinely useful, or as long as the law requires.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide ShftPlay, maintain your account and learning history, provide personalization, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, and maintain security.
When you delete your account, we aim to delete your personal information within 7 days. After that, we retain only information we’re legally required to keep — we don’t hold on to your data for any other purpose.
Data Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information — and we’re upfront that no system is unbreakable.
ShftPlay uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or loss. Our current backend and database infrastructure runs on Supabase; we may introduce AWS as additional infrastructure in the future as ShftPlay grows.
Depending on the system, this may include secure authentication, access controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, and backups. That said, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, and we can’t promise that data transmission or storage will be 100% secure.
“Your revision history is yours. We protect it like we’d want ours protected.”

Legally required data may remain
Anything we’re legally required to retain stays only for the legally required period. Deleted accounts and their learning data generally can’t be recovered.
Important: Uninstalling the ShftPlay app from your device does not delete your account. You need to request deletion from within the app first.
Children’s Privacy
ShftPlay today is built for UI/UX learners, aspiring designers, students, and working professionals.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. As ShftPlay expands into Class 8–12 education as part of our roadmap, we’ll put appropriate age-related safeguards, consent requirements, and privacy practices in place, as required by applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information improperly, please contact us at hello@shftplay.com.
International Data Processing
ShftPlay is based in India; some of our providers may process data elsewhere.
Some of the third-party technology providers described in Sections 05 and 06 may process information outside India. Where this happens, your information may be processed in other countries, and we’ll take the measures required by applicable law for that kind of transfer.
User-Generated Content
Notes and other content you create in ShftPlay stay tied to your account.
If you create notes or other learning content in ShftPlay, we store it so you can access and use it through your account. We don’t use your private, user-created content for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis or your permission, where required. When you delete your account, your user-created content is generally deleted along with it, subject to any legally required retention.
Policy Changes
This page will evolve as ShftPlay does.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our product evolves, our technology changes, our third-party services change, or legal requirements change. The Effective Date and Last Updated date at the top of this page reflect the current version. For material changes, we may notify you through the app, our website, email, or other appropriate means.
