Data Deletion Policy

Platform: eBodhya Studio (studio.ebodhya.in) Effective Date: 15 July 2026 Version: 1.0 Document Owner: Anomaa Studio Legal & Compliance

1. Introduction

This Data Deletion Policy explains how you can request deletion of your Account, specific Content, or a specific AI generation on eBodhya Studio, and what happens after such a request. It applies to every User of the Platform and exists to make the deletion process, timelines, and exceptions transparent, consistent with your erasure rights under the DPDP Act, 2023.

2. Definitions

• "Anomaa Studio," "we," "us," "our" — has the meaning given in the Legal Entity section of this document.
• "the Platform" — the specific eBodhya Platform to which this document applies, as identified in the Legal Entity section.
• "User" / "you" — any individual or entity that accesses or uses the Platform.
• "Personal Data" — data about an individual who is identifiable by or in relation to such data, as defined in Section 2(t) of the DPDP Act.
• "Data Principal" — the individual to whom the Personal Data relates, as defined in Section 2(y) of the DPDP Act.
• "AI generation" — a single instance of AI Output produced by an AI Assistant in response to a prompt or uploaded source material.

3. Applicability

This Policy applies to deletion requests concerning your Account, any User Content you have uploaded or created, and any specific AI generation, regardless of whether you hold a Creator, Institution, or Publisher Account.

4. Legal Entity

eBodhya™ is a trademark owned and used by Anomaa Studio, a sole proprietorship business based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India ("Anomaa Studio," "eBodhya," "we," "us," or "our"). Anomaa Studio owns and operates the entire eBodhya suite of platforms, comprising:

• eBodhya Studio — studio.ebodhya.in
• eBodhya Marketplace — marketplace.ebodhya.in
• eBodhya Schools — schools.ebodhya.in
• eBodhya Workspace — workspace.ebodhya.in

(together, the "eBodhya Platforms").

Every account, subscription, order, listing, or agreement created or entered into through any eBodhya Platform is an agreement with Anomaa Studio directly. No eBodhya Platform is owned, operated by, or offered on behalf of any third party, franchisee, reseller, school district, or unrelated entity, unless we state so expressly and in writing. eBodhya™ and the eBodhya logo are trademarks of Anomaa Studio; no license to use them is granted except as expressly permitted in writing.

In this document, "the Platform" means eBodhya Studio (studio.ebodhya.in) specifically, and "eBodhya" or the "eBodhya Platforms" means the wider suite of products described above.

5. How to Request Deletion

You may request deletion of:

• Your entire Account, including profile, Account-level settings, and Content you solely own, via Account settings ("Delete Account") or by emailing privacy@ebodhya.in.
• Specific Content, such as an uploaded source document, a Question Bank, a Worksheet, a Presentation, or a Lesson Plan, via the delete action on that item or by emailing privacy@ebodhya.in with enough detail to identify it.
• A specific AI generation, including its prompt, uploaded input, and output, via the generation's history entry or by emailing privacy@ebodhya.in referencing the generation.

6. Identity Verification

Before acting on a deletion request submitted by email rather than through in-product controls, we will verify that the request comes from the Account holder (or an authorized administrator, for an Institution or Publisher Account), typically by confirming the request from the registered Account email address or requiring a login-based confirmation.

7. Effect on Already-Published Marketplace Listings

Deleting Content in Studio does not automatically remove a Marketplace listing already published from that Content. Published listings are governed by eBodhya Marketplace's own withdrawal and removal process; see our Marketplace Publishing Policy and eBodhya Marketplace's Digital Download Policy for how to withdraw a live listing and how already-completed buyer downloads are handled.

8. Backup Purge Timeline

Deleted Account and Content data is removed from live systems promptly upon confirmed deletion, and from rolling backups within thirty (30) days, consistent with the backup retention window in our Data Retention Policy. Until backups age out, deleted data may persist in backup storage but is not accessible through the Platform and is not used for any active purpose.

9. Retention-Based Exceptions

We may retain certain data despite a deletion request where Applicable Law requires it, including: billing and invoice records retained for tax and accounting purposes; records needed to resolve an active dispute, complaint, or legal hold under our Data Retention Policy; and security or audit logs needed to protect the Platform. Where we retain data under this Section, we limit its use to the purpose justifying retention.

10. DPDP Act Erasure Right

As a Data Principal, you have the right to request erasure of Personal Data that is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, under the DPDP Act, 2023. We will act on erasure requests as described in this Policy, subject to Section 9.

11. Privacy

Full detail on what Personal Data we collect, why, and your broader Data Principal rights is in our Privacy Policy.

12. AI

Deleting an AI generation removes its prompt, uploaded input, and output from your Account and, subject to Section 8, from our systems; it does not retroactively affect other AI Output already created from a shared source document unless you delete that document too. See our AI Usage Policy and AI Content Generation Policy for how AI generations are created and logged.

13. Data Processing

Deletion requests are Processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and the DPDP Act, 2023.

14. Cookies

Cookie deletion is managed through your browser, as described in our Cookie Policy, separately from Account or Content deletion.

15. Third-Party Services

Where feasible, we instruct sub-processors (cloud hosting, AI model providers, payment gateway, analytics) to delete Personal Data corresponding to your request within their own systems, consistent with our contractual arrangements described in our Privacy Policy.

16. Security

Deletion requests are authenticated per Section 6 to prevent malicious or mistaken deletion; see our Security Statement.

17. Retention

See Sections 8–9 above and our Data Retention Policy for the full schedule against which deletion requests are assessed.

18. Deletion

This entire document is the Deletion Policy; see Sections 5–10 above.

19. Intellectual Property

Deleting Content removes it from the Platform but does not by itself affect any license already granted to co-authors or, where published, to Marketplace buyers before deletion; see our Intellectual Property Policy.

20. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for confirming you want to delete an Account, Content, or AI generation before submitting the request, as some deletions cannot be undone once backups age out per Section 8.

21. Prohibited Activities

You must not submit a deletion request for Content or an Account you do not own or control, or attempt to use the deletion process to interfere with another User's rights (for example, deleting shared Collaboration Content without co-author agreement, where the Platform requires it).

22. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Anomaa Studio's liability arising out of this Policy is limited as described in the Terms of Service. Nothing in this Policy limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or statutory rights that cannot be waived.

23. Disclaimer

We process deletion requests in good faith within the timelines described in this Policy, but cannot guarantee removal from every cached or archived copy that may exist transiently in system logs prior to backup purge.

24. Termination

Account termination triggers the deletion process described in this Policy for Account-level data, subject to Sections 7 and 9.

25. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Data Deletion Policy and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to it, the Platform, or the Services (a "Dispute") is governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation for thirty (30) days after one party gives the other written notice of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within that period, it will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Bengaluru, Karnataka, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before a sole arbitrator appointed by Anomaa Studio. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and the seat and venue of arbitration will be Bengaluru, Karnataka. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief before a competent court at any time. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute not subject to arbitration and over any proceeding to enforce an arbitral award.

26. Jurisdiction

Without prejudice to the arbitration agreement above, the Platform is directed at Users in India, and Anomaa Studio makes no representation that the Platform or its Content is appropriate or lawfully available in other locations. Users who access the Platform from outside India do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.

27. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Data Deletion Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Services, Applicable Law, or our practices, and will post the revised version on the Platform with an updated "Effective Date."
