1. Information we collect
We collect specific information directly from you, such as the details you provide, your activity
related to content usage, and data from third-party platforms linked to Adhyaas.
Additionally,
certain data is collected automatically, including information about your device and your
interactions
with various features of our Services. All information collected may undergo processing activities
such
as collection, recording, organization, storage, modification, retrieval, encryption,
pseudonymization,
deletion, combination, and transmission.
1.1 Data You Provide to Us
The types of data we collect from or about you may vary based on how you interact with our Services.
To
provide clarity, here are some examples of the information we may gather.
When you register an account or access the Services—whether directly or via a third-party platform—we collect the information you provide to us, including:
When you register an account or access the Services—whether directly or via a third-party platform—we collect the information you provide to us, including:
a. Account Data
To access certain features (such as viewing content), you must create a user account, which involves
providing and storing your email address, password, and account preferences. If you register as an
instructor, we also collect and store your name along with these details. As you explore more
features,
you may be asked to share additional information. For instance, you might voluntarily submit your
phone
number for authentication, or details related to your learning preferences, such as your occupation
and
skill interests. If you apply to become an instructor, we may also collect sensitive information
including a government-issued ID, a verification photo, date of birth, race or ethnicity, and your
phone
number. When your account is created, a unique identification number is assigned to you for internal
reference.
b. Profile Data
You have the option to add extra profile information, including your photo, headline, bio, language
preference, website, social media links, country, and other personal details. Keep in mind that this
profile data will be publicly accessible to others.
c. Shared Content
Certain features of the Services allow you to engage with other users or share content publicly.
This
includes uploading courses or materials, writing reviews, participating in Q&A, sending messages to
instructors or students, and posting photos or other submissions. Any content you share through
these
features may be visible to others.
d. Learning Data
When you access content, we collect certain information, including details about the courses,
assignments, labs, workspaces, and quizzes you have started or completed; your content and
subscription
purchases and credits; active subscriptions; earned completion certificates and badges; interactions

materials you submit to meet course or content-related requirements.
e. Student Payment Data
When you make a purchase, we collect certain information necessary to process your order, such as
your
name, billing address, and ZIP code, which may also be stored to facilitate future transactions. You
are
required to provide specific payment and billing details—such as your name, credit card information,
billing address, and ZIP code—directly to our third-party payment service providers. We may also
receive
limited information from these providers, such as notification of a new card and the last four
digits of
the card number, to support payment processing. For security reasons, Adhyaas does not collect or
store
sensitive cardholder data, including full credit card numbers or authentication details.
f. Instructor or Organisation Payment Data

payment
account to our Services to receive payments. When setting up a payment account, we collect and use

necessary information—to facilitate payment transfers. In some cases, we may also collect ACH or
wire
transfer details to process payments. To comply with applicable laws, we collaborate with trusted
third
parties to collect legally required tax information, which may include your residency status, tax
identification number, biographical details, and other personal data needed for tax compliance. For
security purposes, Adhyaas does not collect or store sensitive bank account information. The
collection,
use, and disclosure of your payment, billing, and tax information are governed by the privacy policy
and
terms of your respective payment account provider.

or
service, those platforms may share information with us through their APIs. The specific data we
receive
depends on your privacy settings and the information made available by the platform or service, and
typically includes your first and last name, user ID, and email address.

sweepstakes,

will collect and store the information you provide, which may include your name, email address,

2.1 Cookies and Data Collection Tools
We use cookies—small text files stored by your browser—to collect, store, and share information
about
your activity across websites, including on Adhyaas. These cookies help us remember details about
your
visits, such as your preferred language, and enhance the overall user experience. To learn more
about
cookies, you can visit https://cookiepedia.co.uk/all-about-cookies. Additionally, we may use clear
pixels in emails to monitor deliverability and open rates.
Adhyaas and our service providers (including Google Analytics and third-party advertisers) also use
server log files and automated data collection technologies—such as cookies, tags, scripts,
customized
links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons (collectively referred to as “Data Collection
Tools”)—when you access and interact with the Services. These tools automatically collect certain
System
Data and Usage Data (as outlined in Section 1). In some instances, we link the data collected

these tools to other information we collect as explained in this Privacy Policy.
2.2 Why We Use Data Collection Tools
Adhyaas uses the following categories of Data Collection Tools for the purposes outlined below:
Strictly Necessary: These tools are essential for accessing and navigating the site. They
support
core functionality such as logging in, accessing content, securing the platform, preventing
fraudulent
logins, and detecting or blocking unauthorized use of your account. Disabling these tools may cause
parts of the site to malfunction or become inaccessible.
Functional: These tools store information about your browser and preferences to enhance site
functionality. They allow us to personalize content, remember your settings (such as language
preferences or video playback volume), and improve your overall experience with the Services.
Performance: These tools help us understand how the Services are used by collecting data on
usage, performance, page visits, traffic sources, and download origins. They assist in evaluating
and
improving the platform by enabling A/B testing of features and analyzing email engagement, such as
open
rates.
Advertising: These tools are used to display relevant advertisements on Adhyaas and
third-party
platforms, based on insights from your System and Usage Data (as described in Section 1) and data
collected by advertising partners. Ads may reflect your recent activity or behavior across different
sites and over time. To support personalized advertising, we may share a hashed, anonymized version
of
your email address and publicly shared content with our advertising partners.
Social Media: These tools enable features like sharing content with your network via social
media
platforms. They may also track user or device behavior across other websites to build a profile of
your
interests for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising.
You can configure your web browser to notify you when cookies are being placed on your device,
restrict
the types of cookies you permit, or block cookies entirely. However, doing so may impact the

9. Promotions Policy
This Promotions Policy (“Policy”) outlines the ways instructors on Adhyaas can promote their
content, such as through instructor-generated coupons, referral links, and Adhyaas optional
marketing programs. This Policy is part of our Terms and Conditions and Instructor Terms. Any
capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings assigned in those documents.
If this Policy is translated into a language other than English, the English version will take precedence in case of any discrepancies.
If this Policy is translated into a language other than English, the English version will take precedence in case of any discrepancies.
9.1 Overview of Promotional Program Work
You can opt into these programs through the Promotional Agreements section in your instructor
marketing section or through a written agreement (including via email) between you and Adhyaas, as
explained below. The availability of specific programs may change over time.
Please note that not all offers or programs are available in every
region or for all content on Adhyaas. Adhyaas reserves full authority to decide which content will
be included in the Promotional Programs and to set or adjust the sale prices. Adhyaas also has the
right to remove any of your content from these programs at any time, at its sole discretion, with or
without prior notice.
Discount percentages mentioned are approximate, as actual discount
rates may vary slightly due to rounding or currency conversion. Adhyaas does not guarantee any
specific level of success through participation in the Promotional Programs.
9.2 Types of Promotions Allowed
Adhyaas offers multiple promotional tools to help instructors boost course visibility, attract more
students, and increase earnings. The three main types of promotions allowed on the platform are:
a. Instructor Coupons
Instructors can create and share custom discount coupons for their courses. These coupons give
instructors control over how their content is promoted and allow them to offer special pricing to
their own audience. Instructors can set the discount percentage (e.g., 10% to 70%), expiry date, and
distribute the coupons via email, social media, or personal websites. This method is ideal for
building a personal brand and encouraging direct engagement with learners.
b. Platform-wide Discounts (Deals Program)
Adhyaas may run platform-wide promotions, such as seasonal sales, flash deals, or bundle offers.
These campaigns are managed by Adhyaas and often offer courses at significantly reduced prices to
attract a larger audience. Instructors can choose to participate in such programs. While the course
price may be lower during promotions, these deals often result in higher sales volume, increasing
overall earnings and exposure.
9.3 Instructor Coupon Policy
Instructors are empowered to market their courses directly to students using custom coupons. These
instructor-generated coupons provide a flexible and personalized way for teachers to promote their
content and increase enrollments while maintaining control over pricing and promotional strategies.
a. Create Custom Coupons
Instructors can create unique coupon codes for each course they publish on Adhyaas. These codes can
be shared through various channels, such as email newsletters, personal websites, YouTube
descriptions, blogs, and social media platforms. This allows instructors to target specific
audiences and reward loyal followers or early adopters with exclusive discounts.
b. Discount Range
Instructors can define their own discount amount within an allowed range. The maximum discount limit
allowed under the coupon policy is typically up to 70% off the base course price. This ensures that
while students enjoy significant savings, the perceived value of the course is preserved. At the
same time, a minimum discount value may also be enforced (e.g., at least 5%) to ensure that the
coupon adds clear value to the learner.
c. Validity Period
Each instructor coupon must have a defined validity period,
which determines how long the coupon will remain active and usable. The standard validity window
could be up to 30 days, though instructors can set shorter periods if desired. After the expiry
date, the coupon will automatically become inactive, ensuring promotions are timely and relevant.
d. Transparent Pricing for Students
When a coupon is applied, students will see the discounted
price clearly displayed at checkout. This transparency helps build trust and improves conversion
rates, as students are more likely to purchase when they know they are receiving a legitimate offer.
e. Revenue Sharing
When students use an instructor’s coupon to enroll in a course,
the instructor earns a higher share of the revenue, often up to 70% of the net amount. This is
higher compared to other types of purchases and encourages instructors to proactively market their
courses through these coupons.
f. Coupon Abuse Prevention
To maintain fairness on the platform, instructors must not
misuse coupons (e.g., mass distribution through unauthorized channels or reselling discounted
access). Any misuse may lead to the coupon being disabled or disciplinary action against the
instructor's account.
In summary, the Instructor Coupon Policy enables educators on
Adhyaas to take ownership of their course marketing. By offering discounted access with time-bound
coupons, instructors can reach more students, build a loyal following, and maximize their earnings -
all while providing high-value learning experiences.
9.4 Deals Program (If Any)
The Deals Program is a promotional initiative designed to enhance
the visibility and sales performance of courses offered on the Adhyaas platform. This program allows
the platform to market selected courses at compellingly discounted rates to attract a broader
audience and increase overall enrollment.
a. Instructor Participation & Opt-In Requirement
Participation in the Deals Program is entirely voluntary.
Instructors who wish to benefit from increased promotional efforts and wider student reach must
explicitly opt in to join the program. By opting in, the instructor grants Adhyaas permission to
offer their course content at discounted prices in accordance with the platform’s promotional
strategy.
Instructors who choose not to opt into the Deals Program will
have their courses listed strictly at the base price set by them, with no platform-driven discounts
applied. This ensures that instructors maintain control over whether and how their content is
discounted through platform-led campaigns.
b. Pricing Strategy & Adjustments
Once an instructor opts into the Deals Program, course pricing
may be dynamically adjusted by Adhyaas to suit market trends, seasonal campaigns, audience demand,
or regional purchasing power. The platform may determine discount levels based on historical data,
competitor pricing, or promotional goals, with the intention of maximizing course visibility and
conversions.
In most cases, the platform will not reduce the price below a
specified minimum threshold, except in cases involving strategic partnerships or third-party
distribution channels. Pricing decisions are typically made using automated algorithms and human
insights, and may vary based on market conditions and user segments.
The revenue share structure for sales under the Deals Program
will be governed by the platform’s Promotions Policy, and instructors will be able to view detailed
analytics and earnings related to such sales through their instructor dashboard.
c. Transparent Communication
Adhyaas is committed to transparency, and instructors will
receive timely notifications regarding any major changes to promotional pricing policies. They may
also opt out of the Deals Program at any time, though ongoing promotions may remain active until
completion.
9.5 Revenue Share During Promotions
The revenue an instructor earns on Adhyaas varies depending on the
type of promotion applied during a sale. When an instructor uses their own coupon code, they are
entitled to receive up to 70% of the net revenue generated from that sale. This approach gives
instructors more control over their earnings and allows them to directly market their courses.
In contrast, when a course is sold through a platform-led
promotion—such as a site-wide discount or through the Deals Program—the revenue share is typically
adjusted. In such cases, instructors generally receive a reduced percentage, such as 30–50%,
depending on the promotional arrangement and marketing efforts undertaken by the platform.
All revenue shares are calculated after deducting applicable
transaction taxes, payment gateway fees, or any platform-specific service charges. Adhyaas ensures
that the earnings breakdown is clearly visible to instructors through their dashboard, offering full
transparency in all promotional scenarios.
9.6 Opt-in/Opt-out Option
Instructors on Adhyaas have full control over their participation
in promotional programs. They can choose to opt-in and allow the platform to include their courses
in various discount campaigns and marketing offers. This may help increase visibility and student
enrollments. Alternatively, instructors can opt-out at any time if they prefer to sell their content
only at the original base price. However, any promotions already active at the time of opting out
will continue until they expire or are completed as scheduled.

To maintain transparency, trust, and brand integrity, all

a. No Misleading Offers:Instructors are not allowed to make
false or deceptive claims about discounts, course content, or outcomes. Promotions should clearly
state the actual discount, original price, and offer duration. Misleading promotions can result in
penalties or removal from promotional programs.
b. No Unauthorized Use of Platform Branding: Instructors or
third parties are strictly prohibited from using Adhyaas’ brand name, logo, or trademarks in paid
advertising (such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc.) without prior written approval from the

with local advertising laws and ethical standards. Promotions that appear spammy, exploitative, or

9.9 Policy Updates
Adhyaas reserves the full right to make changes, revisions, or updates to its Promotions Policy at
any time, as part of its ongoing efforts to improve the platform experience for both instructors and
learners. These changes may include modifications to the types of promotions allowed, instructor
revenue share models, discount structures, or participation guidelines.
Whenever an update is made to the Promotions Policy, Adhyaas will
ensure timely and transparent communication with all instructors. Instructors will be notified of
such changes through appropriate and accessible channels, such as email, in-platform notifications,
or announcements via the instructor dashboard.
It is the responsibility of the instructor to review these policy
changes. Continued participation in any promotional program after an update implies acceptance of
the revised terms. Instructors who do not agree with the updated policy have the option to opt out
of the promotional programs at any time by adjusting their promotion settings in their account.
Adhyaas aims to make all policy updates clear, fair, and aligned
with industry standards and legal compliance. These changes are designed to enhance overall
marketing effectiveness, protect the brand, and ensure that learners are receiving genuine, valuable
offers.
The platform encourages instructors to stay informed and regularly
check for updates to ensure compliance and to make the most of promotional opportunities. This
proactive approach helps both instructors and Adhyaas maintain a transparent, ethical, and mutually
beneficial environment for course promotion.
