What they may do · DPDP §6(4)
What Unacademy does with your data
Unacademy's policy says it shows interest-based ads built from your activity, including on unaffiliated sites, discloses information to its affiliates and subsidiaries, and keeps some data after deletion for legal obligations and business compliances.
-
Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.
Show me where they say that
Unacademy’s own policy says “We may disclose information about you to our affiliates, subsidiaries and other businesses under the same control and ownership, and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys, or agents.”
Our summary discloses information about you to affiliates, subsidiaries and other businesses under the same ownership.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.
Show me where they say that
Unacademy’s own policy says “Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalised or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as registering with our Platform.”
Our summary displays interest-based ads built from your activity on the platform.
-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.
Show me where they say that
Unacademy’s own policy says “On unaffiliated sites, Unacademy may display interest-based advertising using information you make available to us when you interact with our Platform and Services.”
Our summary displays interest-based advertising on unaffiliated sites using the information from your use of its platform.
-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.
Show me where they say that
Unacademy’s own policy says “we will retain your information for as long as it is required for us to retain for the purposes stated hereinabove, including for the purpose of complying with legal obligation or business compliances.”
Our summary retains your information as long as its stated purposes, legal obligations or business compliances require.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Unacademy’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.

Unacademy is one app. How many are on your phone?
Most people carry twenty to forty. Add yours and see the total in one screen — how many share your data, profile you for ads, or follow you across the web. Then take it back from all of them at once.

Questions
What does Unacademy do with my personal data?
According to Unacademy's own privacy policy, read on 2026-08-13, it discloses 4 of the six uses we track: shares your data with partners, builds an advertising profile of you, follows you onto other websites and apps, keeps your records long-term.
Can I withdraw my consent from Unacademy?
Section 6(4) of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 gives you the right to withdraw consent for processing you agreed to. The Act's substantive provisions commence in stages up to May 2027, so a request made now asks for voluntary compliance and puts the date on record. Processing a company carries out under a legal obligation — such as KYC records the RBI requires — cannot be withdrawn.
Does Unacademy track me for advertising?
Yes — Unacademy's published policy discloses this. The exact sentence it is based on is quoted on this page, with the date we read it and a link to the source.
Every use above is one Unacademy declared in its own published privacy policy, which we
read on 2026-08-13. Quotes are verbatim; the summary beside each one is ours
and is labelled as ours. Nothing here is inferred.
Saaph.in is a DPDP consent and request management platform operated by Ronin Works
Private Limited. It is a communication facilitator, not your legal or authorised
representative. The DPDP Act 2023 commences in stages up to May 2027, so a request
made today asks for voluntary compliance and records the date you asked.
