Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026  ·  Applies to the CATalyst app and website

The short version

We collect what's needed to run your practice, track your mistakes, and process payment — nothing more. We never sell your data. You can ask us to delete it at any time. We don't store your card details; Razorpay handles that.

1. Who this applies to

This policy covers anyone using the CATalyst app or website — free trial, paid, or just browsing. "We"/"CATalyst" refers to the team running the product; "you" refers to you, the user.

2. What we collect

Only what the product actually needs to function:

CategoryWhatWhy
AccountEmail, name (if you provide one), authentication dataTo create and secure your account (via Supabase Auth)
Practice activityQuestions attempted, answers, timing, mistakes, streaks, error logThis is the core product — tracking and fixing your mistakes
PaymentPlan purchased, amount, payment ID, payment statusTo grant/manage paid access. We never see or store your card, UPI ID, or bank details — Razorpay processes and holds that directly
NotificationsPush notification token (only if you enable push)To send practice reminders
FeedbackAnything you submit via feedback or bug reportsTo fix bugs and improve the product
Usage eventsApp events like page views, feature usage (no browsing history outside the app)To understand what's working and fix what isn't

3. Who we share it with

We don't sell your data to anyone. It's shared only with the services that run the product:

4. How long we keep it

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active, so your practice history and progress aren't lost between sessions. If you stop using CATalyst or request deletion, we remove your practice data within 30 days (this matches the retention window in our Refund Policy). Payment records may be kept longer where required for accounting/tax purposes.

5. Your rights

You can ask us, at any time, to:

This is currently a manual process — email us and we'll action it directly. There's no automated self-serve deletion yet; if you email a deletion request, we confirm your identity via your registered email and process it within a reasonable time.

6. Security

Your data is protected by row-level access controls at the database level — your practice data, attempts, and profile are only accessible to your own account, enforced server-side (not just hidden in the app). No system is perfectly unbreakable, but we treat this seriously and fix issues as soon as we find them.

7. Children

CATalyst is built for CAT exam aspirants, who are legal adults or approaching adulthood pursuing higher education. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top. Continued use of CATalyst after a change means you're okay with the update.

9. Questions

This policy is intentionally written in plain language, not legal boilerplate. If anything is unclear, email us directly — you'll reach a real person.
