Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use Kiyavaa, we may collect the following types of information.

Account Information

When you create an account, we may receive your name, email address, profile picture (if provided), password authentication data and account identifier. We only request information reasonably necessary to provide and secure the Service.

Information You Provide

We may collect your school, island, qualification, subjects, target grades, exam dates, study goals, typed answers, tutor prompts, marked-answer history, mistakes, feedback, note activity and support messages. If you submit a bank transfer, we collect the payment slip, plan, amount and reference needed to verify it. Profile photos are stored with your profile when you choose to add one.

AI and Uploaded Answer Information

Practice and mock-exam features may process photos of handwritten answers, calculations, diagrams, graphs or tables using OCR and AI vision. These photos are sent securely for the requested marking and are not permanently saved to your Kiyavaa account. We retain the resulting score, an upload indicator and examiner-style feedback in your answer history. Tutor prompts and other study content are processed to generate the response you request.

Credits, Subscription and Usage Information

We record your plan status, expiry, AI-credit balances, credit transactions, daily free-feature usage, AI usage and cost records, and payment approval history to provide access, enforce limits, prevent duplicate charging and show your progress and usage history.

Technical Information

We may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser or device type, operating system, general usage information, and log and diagnostic information. We use this to operate, secure, maintain and improve Kiyavaa.

2. How AI Processing Works

Kiyavaa uses AI providers to answer tutor requests, create practice and mock materials, prepare revision plans, mark typed answers, and analyse uploaded answer images. Depending on the feature, relevant prompts, questions, answers and temporary images may be sent to providers including DeepSeek and OpenAI. We send only the information needed to complete the request. AI output and examiner-style feedback are stored where needed to provide history, progress and mistake-review features.

Data Controller

Kiyavaa is developed, created and operated by Furushaan Hussain and Jazlaan Mohamed as a partnership. They are jointly the data controllers responsible for your personal information collected through the Service. Kiyavaa is not a company or organisation; it is a platform run by two partners.

Partnership: Furushaan Hussain and Jazlaan Mohamed

Founder: Furushaan Hussain

Co-founder: Jazlaan Mohamed

Website/Platform: Kiyavaa

3. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Provide and operate Kiyavaa.
  • Authenticate users and provide requested features.
  • Generate AI tutoring, questions, marking, revision plans and image analysis.
  • Maintain AI-credit balances, daily limits, subscriptions and payment approvals.
  • Show answer history, progress, mistake review and Premium exam countdowns.
  • Communicate with you about the Service.
  • Improve performance and functionality.
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse and security problems.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

We process your personal information on the following legal bases, as applicable:

  • Contract performance — to create and manage your account and provide the features you request.
  • Legitimate interests — to secure, maintain and improve Kiyavaa, and to prevent fraud and abuse.
  • Consent — where you have given it, for example for optional communications; you may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legal obligation — where processing is required by applicable law.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate Kiyavaa, such as hosting, authentication, database, security, email, analytics and AI providers, including DeepSeek and OpenAI where applicable. These providers may only receive information reasonably necessary to provide their services. We may also share information with professional advisers or disclose it when required by law or necessary to protect Kiyavaa, our users or others.

When you make a purchase, payment is made by direct bank transfer. Your payment slip and the details you submit (such as your account email, name, plan, amount and transfer reference) are used only to verify your payment and activate your subscription. We do not collect or process card details, and no card-payment provider is involved. Kiyavaa does not use Paddle. Payment slips are stored securely and are only available to authorised administrators for verification and record-keeping.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no online service can guarantee that information will be completely secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it where appropriate. Uploaded handwritten-answer images are processed for the requested marking and are not permanently stored in the student's account. Payment and transaction records may be retained longer where reasonably needed for accounting, fraud prevention or legal compliance.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and where applicable to receive a copy of your data or withdraw consent. You may update profile and exam information within Kiyavaa. To make another privacy request or complain about our handling of your information, contact us below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

9. Children's Privacy

Kiyavaa is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Kiyavaa without appropriate permission, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.

10. Third-Party Services

Kiyavaa uses technology providers for hosting, authentication, email and AI processing, including DeepSeek and OpenAI where applicable. These services may process information according to their own privacy terms. We do not use Google Sign-In or a third-party card checkout provider.

11. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we will take appropriate measures for such transfers in accordance with applicable law.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we may provide notice through Kiyavaa or by other reasonable means. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was most recently changed.
