Privacy Policy – CourseVault
Privacy Policy
CourseVault · Effective 6 November 2026
Overview
CourseVault works entirely offline. It does not collect, upload, sell or share your personal data, and it has no account, ads or analytics. Everything it stores stays on your device.
CourseVault ("the App") is built by Pratik Banawalkar ("I", "me"). It organises course videos that you already have on your device, tracks your lesson progress and lets you resume where you left off. This policy explains what information the App handles, why, and the choices you have. By using the App you agree to this policy.
Information the App handles
| Data | Where it is kept | Leaves your device? |
|---|---|---|
| References to the course folders you choose | Local database on your device | No |
| Lesson progress, watch position, completed lessons | Local database on your device | No |
| Settings (theme, playback speed, onboarding state) | Local preferences on your device | No |
| Video thumbnails generated from your files | App cache on your device | No |
| Your video files | Stay where you put them; the App only reads them for playback | No |
The App does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts or photos. It does not use advertising IDs, show ads, or include analytics or tracking SDKs, and it does not need an internet connection to work.
Course content
CourseVault does not provide, host, sell, download, stream or upload course content. You choose your own local folders and are responsible for only using files you own or have permission to use.
Permissions
- Folder access — granted through Android's folder picker, only for the folders you select, so the App can list and play your course videos.
- Notifications — optional. If you allow it, it is used only for on-device notifications from the App. You can turn them off in Android settings.
Purchases and third parties
CourseVault is a paid app sold through Google Play. Payments are processed entirely by Google; I never see your payment details. Google's handling of your data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
If you have Android backup or device transfer turned on, Android may include the App's local database and preferences in your Google backup. Thumbnails and cache files are excluded. This is controlled by your device settings.
Retention and deletion
You can delete individual courses or clear the whole library from the App's Settings. This removes the App's records and progress, not your original video files. All App data is deleted when you clear the App's storage or uninstall it.
Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
You have rights over your personal data, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the GDPR where they apply. Because the App keeps all data on your device and never sends it to me, you can access, change or delete it at any time from within the App or by clearing its data.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time, for example if a future version adds new features. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
This policy is effective as of 6 November 2026.
