1. Scope & Developer Identification
Legal disclosure of operating entity and application identity
Welcome to Bihar Board Students. This mobile software is developed, published, and maintained by MyZini Solutions (referred to herein as "we", "us", or "our"). Our primary corporate portal is located at https://myzinisolutions.in.
Bihar Board Students is an educational mobile application purpose-built to assist secondary school learners, particularly Class 10 (Matric) students appearing for the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) matriculation examinations. The application provides free, structured academic resources including textbooks, subject notes, solved question banks, previous years' question papers (PYQs), formulas, model sets, and timely examination notifications.
We are deeply committed to safeguarding student privacy. We operate on the foundational principle of Zero Unnecessary Data Collection: we do not mandate student user accounts, do not ask for personal identity documents, do not access contacts, photos, or GPS locations, and do not sell student information under any circumstance.
2. Declared Android Permissions & Rationale
Complete analysis and rationale for permissions declared in AndroidManifest.xml
In compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies regarding Device and Network Abuse, Prominent Disclosures, and Permission Minimization, the table below provides an exhaustive review of every permission declared in our AndroidManifest.xml:
Full Internet Access
android.permission.INTERNETOperational Justification: Allows the application to establish secure HTTPS connections with content delivery servers to stream and download Bihar Board (BSEB) educational materials, Class 10 Matric study notes, model papers, sample questions, syllabus updates, and retrieve server-side announcements.
View Network Connections
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATEOperational Justification: Allows the application to inspect whether the device has an active Wi-Fi or cellular mobile data connection prior to initiating network downloads. This prevents unexpected application crashes, informs the student when they are offline, and optimizes data consumption.
Push Notifications (Android 13+)
android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONSOperational Justification: Enables the application to push timely educational alerts, BSEB matric exam timetables, admit card release notifications, results announcements, daily study tips, and model question paper updates. Students can grant or revoke this permission at any time through Android System Settings without affecting core study access.
CAMERA, READ_CONTACTS, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, RECORD_AUDIO, or READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. All study notes, syllabus pages, and PDF previews are managed via sandboxed internal storage and secure web endpoints.3. Application Architecture & Activities

4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)
Full disclosure of AdMob SDK integration, identifiers, and monetization
As declared in our application manifest (com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID), Bihar Board Students integrates the Google AdMob SDK, an official mobile advertising platform provided by Google LLC.
Monetization through advertising allows us to keep all Bihar Board Class 10 study materials, chapter solutions, and model papers 100% free of charge for all students, including economically underprivileged learners across rural and urban Bihar.
Information Collected by Google AdMob:
Google AdMob may collect and process certain non-personally identifiable technical telemetry in accordance with its privacy standards, including:
- Google Advertising ID (AAID): A resettable unique identifier provided by Android OS for fraud prevention, frequency capping, and ad delivery diagnostics.
- IP Address & Approximate (Coarse) Location: Used to display advertisements relevant to regional academic subjects or language options (Hindi/English). Precise GPS location is never accessed.
- Device Telemetry: Device manufacturer, hardware model, Android OS version, display resolution, and cellular carrier name.
- Ad Interaction Metrics: Information regarding ad impressions, clicks, load durations, and crash reports.
Student & Family Friendly Ad Filtering
Because this is an educational application catering to students preparing for board exams, we configure our Google AdMob dashboard to enforce strict content filtering. Sensitive ad categories (such as gambling, adult content, alcohol, dating, or financial lending schemes) are strictly blocked.
Opting Out of Personalized Advertising:
Students or parents can opt out of personalized interest-based advertising or reset their advertising identifier at any time directly through their Android phone:
For more information regarding Google's privacy policies and how Google handles advertising data, please review the official Google Advertising & Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy.

6. Children & Student Privacy (COPPA & DPDP)
Commitment to student safety, minors, and educational compliance
Because Bihar Board Students caters specifically to Class 10 Matriculation candidates—who are typically between 14 to 17 years old—we hold student digital safety to the highest legal and ethical standards:
- Compliance with Indian Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act: We strictly observe Indian data protection mandates regarding the processing of data of minors. We do not engage in behavioral tracking, targeted profiling, or harmful data harvesting directed towards children.
- U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Adherence: Although designed primarily for Indian syllabus preparation, we adhere to universal COPPA principles. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
- No Social Features or Chat Rooms: The application does not contain public chat forums, messaging lounges, or peer-to-peer communication tools where minors could be subjected to cyberbullying or unsolicited contact.
- Parental & Guardian Rights: Parents or legal guardians who suspect that any minor has provided personal details through our support channels may contact us immediately at support@myzinisolutions.in for immediate, permanent deletion.
7. Data Security & Storage Architecture
Encryption standards and application sandbox protections
We employ enterprise-grade security protocols to protect all communication between the mobile device and our cloud servers:
All data in transit (PDF notes, syllabus indices, notifications) is encrypted with modern TLS 1.2/1.3 cryptographic cipher suites.
Educational cached files are stored within the application's isolated private storage (Android sandbox), preventing unauthorized external app inspection.
While no electronic storage or internet transmission is 100% infallible, our architectural choice to collect virtually zero student personal information inherently shields users from severe data compromise.
8. Student Rights & Permission Revocation
Controlling notifications and managing device permissions
Students maintain complete control over their device and privacy settings at all times:
9. Data Retention & Deletion Policy
Protocols for information lifecycle and deletion requests
Because the application operates without user accounts or cloud profile databases, MyZini Solutions does not retain any permanent student personal data records on its servers.
If you submit an email inquiry or bug report to our technical support team, we retain your email address and message solely for the duration required to resolve your query, after which the ticket is securely archived or purged within ninety (90) days.
10. Policy Modifications & Updates
Commitment to public notice before deploying application updates
MyZini Solutions reserves the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy as new educational features, BSEB syllabus additions, or statutory Google Play regulatory requirements emerge.
Any revisions will be immediately published to this URL (https://myzinisolutions.in/bihar-board-students-privacy-policy/) with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp. We encourage students and parents to periodically inspect this page. Continued usage of the application following the publication of changes constitutes acceptance of those amendments.
11. Contact & Grievance Redressal
