Privacy Policy

• Your entries belong to you. We do not sell your data, and we do not show ads.
• Your recordings stay on your device and are cleared automatically after a short period.
• Some features send the text of an entry to service providers to do their work, and those providers do not use your content to train their models.
• You can export or permanently delete everything from inside the app, at any time.

• Your entries. The recordings you make and the transcripts created from them, together with the details you attach to each entry, such as its tag, the time, and the language.
• Your profile details. The name and language preference you set, and the tags, categories, routines, and systems you create to organise your entries.
• An account identifier. Created automatically the first time you open Kehdo, so your entries can be saved to your account. If you choose to sign in, we also store the email address associated with that sign-in so you can reach your account on another device.
• Diagnostic information. If the app runs into a problem, we receive an anonymous technical report so we can fix it. These reports contain error details only, never the content of your entries.
• Limited usage counts. A simple tally of how often certain features are used within a given month, so we can keep the service running fairly for everyone.

We do not collect your contacts, your precise location, advertising identifiers, a list of your other apps, or behavioural analytics about how you move through Kehdo.

• To provide the core experience: saving your entries, keeping them with your account, and showing them back to you.
• To create transcripts of what you record.
• To power optional helper features such as short summaries, suggestions, and reflections drawn from your own entries.
• To keep the service secure, diagnose problems, and prevent misuse.
• To respond to you when you get in touch.

We do not use your entries for advertising, and we do not sell your information to anyone.

On-device or cloud transcription. Depending on the option you choose in Settings, your voice is transcribed either directly on your device, in which case the audio is never sent anywhere, or through a secure transcription service. You are always in control of this choice.

Helper features. When you use a feature that summarises, organises, or reflects on an entry, the relevant text is sent over an encrypted connection to a service provider that performs that work on our behalf. These providers act only on our instructions, do not use your content to train their own models, and keep it only for as long as needed to complete the task.

Storage and accounts. Your transcripts, settings, and account information are kept on secure cloud infrastructure operated by our service providers, and your sign-in is handled by a dedicated authentication provider.

We share information only in the limited ways needed to run Kehdo:

• With service providers who process data on our behalf, for transcription, optional helper features, secure storage, authentication, and crash diagnostics, under agreements that require them to protect it and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• For legal reasons, if we are required to by law, or where it is necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Kehdo.
• In a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, in which case we will tell you before your information becomes subject to a different policy.

We never sell your personal information, share it with advertisers, or pass it to data brokers.

• Recordings: stored on your device only, and cleared automatically after a short period.
• Transcripts and account data: kept until you choose to delete them. There is no automatic expiry.
• Diagnostic reports: kept for a limited period under our providers' standard schedules, then deleted.
• Usage counts: kept only as long as needed to apply fair-use limits, then reset.

• Delete everything. Settings → Delete account permanently removes your entries, settings, and account. This cannot be undone, so be sure before you confirm.
• Export your entries. Settings lets you export your entries to a document you can keep.
• Edit your details. Your name, language, tags, and entries can be edited at any time inside the app.
• Sign out. If you have signed in, you can sign out without deleting your data.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information, and to receive a copy in a portable format. Most of these are available directly in the app; for anything else, email us and we will help. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

We protect your information with encryption in transit, access controls, and app-integrity verification, so that only the genuine Kehdo app can reach our systems. When you choose on-device transcription, your audio is processed within the app's private storage on your phone and is not transmitted for that step.

No system is perfectly secure. If we ever become aware of a breach that affects you, we will notify you promptly and within the timeframes required by law.

Kehdo is not intended for children under 13, or under the minimum age required in your country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.

Kehdo is available in many countries, and the service providers we work with may process information in countries other than your own, including outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Where information is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect it. If you choose on-device transcription, your audio is not transferred for that step.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top, and for significant changes we will give you reasonable notice in the app before they take effect.

For any question, request, or concern about your privacy, email us at hello@kehdo.ai. We read everything and aim to respond within 30 days.
