Privacy Policy for VU Scholars

Effective Date: March 20, 2026

Welcome to VU Scholars ("we," "our," or "us"). This app is designed to provide students with easy, offline access to educational handouts and textbooks. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding your information when you use the VU Scholars mobile application (the "App").

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We believe in absolute privacy. VU Scholars is built to function entirely without tracking your personal data:

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or share any personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number, or student ID.
• No Account Required: You do not need to create an account or log in to use the App.
• No Trackers or Advertisements: The App is 100% free and contains no third-party advertisements or hidden tracking software.

2. Local Device Storage (Offline Access)

VU Scholars is designed to provide offline access to study materials. When you download a course handout or textbook, the file is saved locally on your own device's storage. We do not have access to your device's storage, nor do we monitor what files you download or read. You can delete these files at any time through the App or your device's file manager.

3. Third-Party Content and Disclaimer

VU Scholars is an independent, unofficial student application. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Virtual University of Pakistan.

• All educational content, handouts, and textbooks provided within the App are sourced from publicly available official Virtual University platforms (such as vu.edu.pk and ocw.vu.edu.pk).
• Because we only act as a convenient offline reader for this public content, we do not share any user data with the Virtual University or any other third-party institution.

4. Children's Privacy

Our App is intended for university and college students. Because we do not collect any personal data whatsoever, we are in full compliance with standard children's privacy regulations. If you are a parent or guardian and have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect any changes in our App's functionality or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted here with a new "Effective Date." Since we do not collect your contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes, so we encourage you to review this page occasionally.
