Privacy

The mini apps keep your data on your device

Your to-dos, receipts, calculator history and the last weather and exchange rates you looked up are saved in your browser, or inside the app on your phone. We never receive them.

QR Reader uses the camera only after you tap to start it, and reads the code on your device. PDF Maker builds your PDF on your device, PDF to Photos makes its photos on your device, and Link on Photo adds its code on your device. None of them uploads your photos, scans or documents.

Clearing this site's data in your browser, or uninstalling the app, removes everything the mini apps saved.

Weather

• City search runs on your device, over a list of Indian cities from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). What you type is never sent anywhere.
• The app sends only the place's latitude and longitude, rounded to 2 decimal places (about 1 km), and your time zone offset to our server.
• Our server asks MET Norway (the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, whose data is under CC BY 4.0) for the forecast.
• Our server reuses each forecast for 15 minutes so repeat requests are quick. It may keep a copy of the last forecast for that rounded place in its memory, as a backup for when MET Norway can't be reached. It does not record who asked.
• "Use my location" asks your permission first. You can always search for a city instead.

Currency

The app asks our server for the day's exchange rates. Our server gets the European Central Bank's reference rates through Frankfurter. The amounts you type never leave your device.

The mini apps: no ads, no tracking, no accounts

The mini apps have no ads, no tracking and no accounts, on the web and in the store apps.

On the website, our server counts how many times the home page, the apps list, the guides and the mini apps are opened. It keeps only the number for each day. There is no cookie or ID, and we don't save your IP address, what you enter or who you are. The store apps aren't counted.

Ads on the website

The home page, the apps list and the Privacy, Terms and Delete your data pages show ads from Google AdSense. The mini apps, the guides, SaathiAI, LekhakAI and the login and admin pages don't.

• Google and its partners use cookies to show these ads, including ads based on your earlier visits to this site and to other sites.
• You can turn off personalised ads from Google in My Ad Center, and from many other ad companies at aboutads.info.
• Google explains here how it uses data from sites that show its ads.
• We don't give Google your account details, your contact messages or anything you make with our apps.

Stopping abuse

To limit how many requests one address can make, our server keeps your IP address in its memory, along with the times of your recent requests. It is never written to disk or to a log. Only requests from the last ten minutes count towards any limit (the last minute for weather and exchange rates). Everything is cleared when the server restarts, and older entries are also removed when the list grows long.

The rest of our site

• The contact form stores the name, contact details and message you send, so we can reply.
• Accounts store your name, the email, phone number or username you sign up with, and a scrambled (hashed) form of your password.
• The site's pages (not the mini apps) load their fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers, which see your IP address.
• Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, including IP addresses, to keep the site secure and running.

Signing in

• When you log in, we set one cookie, git_session, that keeps you logged in for up to 30 days. We store only a scrambled form of it. Logging out removes it.
• If you choose "Continue with Google", the login page loads Google's sign-in script, and Google tells us your name, email address and Google account number. We never see your Google password. Google's own privacy policy covers what Google does.

MunshiAI and SamparkAI

• If you try them without logging in, your browser keeps a random ID, and our server keeps a sample workspace under it: sample invoices and leads, any you add, and your last 20 chat messages with each helper. A sample workspace nobody has used for 30 days is deleted, and the oldest ones go sooner when there are many.
• When you are logged in, this data is saved to your account.
• The helpers answer from your saved data on our server. Your messages are not sent to any other company, and WhatsApp messages are only prepared as a link: nothing is sent until you tap it.

SaathiAI

• Photos and videos you upload are stored on our server under random names, at a web link that anyone who has the link can open. The link has to be public so Instagram and Facebook can fetch the file when your ad is posted. LinkedIn, YouTube and X are sent the file directly.
• Your captions, hashtags and posting times are saved to your account.
• An uploaded file is deleted 30 days after its ad has finished. Deleting an ad deletes its file straight away.
• Nothing is sent to any of these platforms unless you connect your account there.
• When you connect Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube or X, we store the access token the platform gives us, a refresh token if it gives one, and the name of your account, Page or channel, on our server only. We use them to publish the ads you scheduled, at the time you chose, and for nothing else. We never post anything you didn't schedule, and we never read your messages, followers or other posts.
• SaathiAI uses YouTube API Services to upload your videos. By connecting YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's use of your information is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
• Disconnect any time in SaathiAI under Accounts, and we delete that token straight away. You can also remove SaathiAI from the platform itself: under Apps and websites in Instagram or Facebook, under Permitted services in LinkedIn, at Google's security settings for YouTube, or under Connected apps in X.

LekhakAI (the book maker)

• What we store: your books (title, chapters, outline, design, cover), the text from your voice notes, photographed pages and imported files once they are read, saved versions of your book, your pen name and bio, your likes, the suggestions you send and receive, your reading progress and bookmarks, notifications, and your orders.
• Drafts are private. Until you publish a book, only you can open it. Our team does not read private books. A book you publish as Public or Unlisted shows its published text, your pen name and its like count to readers; your login email, phone and real name are never shown. Unlisted books can be opened by anyone who has the link, so use Private for anything sensitive.
• AI processing. When you ask for an AI task (an outline, a chapter, an edit, reading handwriting or a PDF, cleaning up voice notes, or a quality check), the text or pictures it needs are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to do that task and nothing else. We do not use your books to train AI models, and we do not sell or share them.
• Photos and files. Photos of handwritten pages and imported PDFs are deleted from our server as soon as the AI has read them. Only the text you then review is kept. Voice dictation is turned into text by your own browser; no audio is uploaded or stored.
• Covers you upload are stored under a random name at a public web link, so readers and link previews can show them.
• PDFs are made on your own device. We keep a count of exports, not the files.
• Suggestions and reports reach authors without your name. Reports and copyright complaints are seen only by our moderation team. A copyright complaint keeps the name and email you give us, so we can reply.
• Payments for book packages are handled by Razorpay. We never see or store your card, UPI or bank details. We keep the order (book, package, amount, GST, date and Razorpay's payment reference), which tax law requires us to keep even after you delete your account; it is then kept without your name.
• On your device the app remembers your language, reader settings, and any text you typed that couldn't be saved while you were offline.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account and everything saved with it yourself, in LekhakAI under More, Settings, Delete my account. Or write to us from the email or phone number you signed up with, and we will delete it within 30 days.
