Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 September 2026
This policy covers two things run by UPSC PYQ Decode (Rishabh Singh, India): the website upsc-maps.pages.dev and the automatic comment reply on our Instagram account @upscpyqdecode. We collect as little as possible and never sell or share personal data for advertising.
1. Instagram auto-reply (@upscpyqdecode)
When you comment a keyword such as PDF on one of our Instagram posts, our app (“MyVideoAutomation”) sends you one private message with a link to our free study material on Telegram, and replies to your comment. To do this it uses the Instagram API with these permissions, only for our own account:
| Permission | What we use it for |
|---|---|
| instagram_business_basic | Read our own account name and our own recent posts. |
| instagram_business_manage_comments | Read comments on our own posts to spot the keyword, and post a short public reply (“Sent! Check your DM”). |
| instagram_business_manage_messages | Send one private reply to the person who commented. |
What we store: the comment ID and your Instagram-scoped user ID, only so the same person is not messaged twice for the same keyword, plus a short activity log (time, your username, keyword) kept for troubleshooting. We do not store your comments’ text, messages, profile, followers or any other data. Data is kept on Cloudflare (our hosting provider) and is deleted when you ask (section 4) or when the service stops.
2. Website (upsc-maps.pages.dev)
- Feedback box: what you type. Your network (IP) address is used as a spam counter for one hour, then deleted automatically.
- Unlocking paid content: your license key is checked with Payhip, our payment provider. We keep a hash of the key, the buyer email Payhip returns, and a random device ID so one key works on up to 3 devices. Payments are handled entirely by Payhip; we never see card or bank details.
- Your browser: the site saves your unlock token and small preferences in your browser’s local storage. We use no advertising or tracking cookies.
3. Who we share data with
Only the services that run these features: Meta/Instagram (to send the reply), Cloudflare (hosting and storage) and Payhip (payments). We do not sell, rent or share personal data with anyone else.
4. Deleting your data
You can ask us to delete everything we hold about you at any time — see Data deletion instructions. We delete it within 7 days.
5. Children
Our content is for adult civil-services aspirants. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
6. Contact
Instagram DM @upscpyqdecode · Telegram t.me/UPSCPSCDECODE · or the Feedback box on the website. If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
