1. Who we are
Hey Krishna is a Krishna-guided AI spiritual companion developed and operated by NETRAYUG LABS PRIVATE LIMITED (“Netrayug”, “Hey Krishna”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). The Service is intended to include Hey Krishna mobile applications for iOS and Android, this website, and related services that we make available.
Registered address: 6-3-1102, F.NO.B-304, M/S HIDDEN TREASURE APTS, Somajiguda, Nampally, Hyderabad 500082, Telangana, India.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal data when you use the Service.
2. Information we collect
The precise information collected depends on the features you use.
2.1 Account and profile information
- Email address and authentication information received through Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple.
- Display name and an optional name in your native script.
- Language, timezone, relationship-style, and daily call-time preferences.
- Account, subscription, minutes-balance, streak, and referral status where those features are enabled.
2.2 Conversations and content
- Chat messages you send and responses generated for you.
- Voice-call audio while it is being processed and the resulting transcripts.
- Journal entries you create.
- Short derived memories and vector embeddings used to help the Service recall relevant information across conversations.
Conversation content may contain sensitive information that you choose to share. Please avoid sharing information that is not needed for your use of the Service.
2.3 Device and technical information
- Platform and device or installation identifiers.
- Push-notification tokens, including Firebase Cloud Messaging tokens and Apple Push Notification service or VoIP tokens.
- Basic diagnostic and security information, such as request timestamps, error information, IP address, browser type, and device type where generated by the app, website, hosting provider, or security systems.
2.4 Usage information
- Feature interactions, call durations, notification activity, and similar product events.
- Internal account identifiers connected to product events so we can operate and improve the Service.
Product-analytics events do not contain your chat messages, transcripts, journal entries, or derived memories.
2.5 Payment information
Paid features are not currently enabled. If payments are enabled in the future, Apple, Google, and/or Razorpay may process purchases. We may receive transaction status, product, plan, renewal, and entitlement information. We do not receive or store complete payment-card details handled by those payment providers.
2.6 Website information
The legal-only website does not use advertising cookies or marketing analytics. Our hosting and security provider may process ordinary server information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamp, and security signals to deliver and protect the website.
3. How we use information
We use personal data to:
- create and secure your account;
- provide chat, voice conversations, transcripts, journals, notifications, and other requested features;
- personalize the experience using your profile, preferences, and memories;
- maintain subscriptions, balances, streaks, and referrals where enabled;
- respond to support, privacy, and account-deletion requests;
- detect abuse, protect the Service, troubleshoot errors, and maintain reliability;
- show crisis or helpline information when the limited safety system detects a possible imminent risk; and
- understand aggregate usage and improve the Service without sending conversation content to third-party analytics.
We process personal data with your consent, to provide features you request, to comply with law, and for other lawful purposes available under applicable law. Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it, although doing so may prevent the relevant feature from working.
4. Service providers and disclosure
We use service providers to perform specific functions on our behalf:
- Supabase: cloud database, authentication, and storage.
- Sarvam: speech-to-text processing.
- Google Gemini: AI language-model processing used to generate responses.
- Cartesia: voice synthesis.
- LiveKit: real-time voice communication.
- Qdrant: vector-memory storage and retrieval.
- Firebase and Apple: notifications and platform services.
- Cloudflare: website delivery, performance, and security.
- Apple, Google, and Razorpay: payment processing if paid features are enabled.
We disclose only the information reasonably needed for each provider to perform its function. We require providers handling personal data on our behalf to protect it under contractual and legal obligations that provide the same or equivalent protection described in this policy. We do not permit them to use conversation content for independent advertising or to train their general-purpose AI models.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the rights and safety of users or others, to investigate misuse, or as part of a corporate transaction subject to appropriate confidentiality and notice requirements.
5. What we do not do
- We do not show advertising in the Service.
- We do not sell or rent personal data.
- We do not use conversation content for cross-app advertising or tracking.
- We do not place chats, transcripts, journals, or memories in third-party product-analytics tools.
- We do not use your conversations to train third-party AI models.
6. Retention and account deletion
We retain account information and content while your account is active and for as long as needed to provide the Service. We may retain security, transaction, consent, and compliance records for longer where reasonably necessary or required by law.
How to delete your account
When the mobile app is available, you may initiate account deletion from inside the app. You may also request deletion outside the app by emailing support@heykrishna.app from the email connected to your account with the subject “Hey Krishna account deletion request.” We may take reasonable steps to verify that the requester controls the account.
After verification, deletion is scheduled and completed within 30 days. It removes the account, profile, conversations, transcripts, journals, derived memories, and device records associated with the account. Limited information may remain temporarily in encrypted backups until the normal backup cycle completes, or longer when retention is required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or dispute resolution. Aggregated information that no longer identifies you may be retained.
7. Safety-related responses
If a conversation suggests an imminent risk of harm to yourself or another person, the Service may display crisis or helpline information, including:
- Emergency services: 112
- iCALL: 9152987821
- AASRA: 9820466726
- Child Helpline: 1098
The Service is not an emergency service. The automated safety response displays resources inside the app; it does not guarantee detection and does not ordinarily contact police, emergency services, or another third party on your behalf.
8. Children and young people
The Service is intended for people aged 13 or older. A higher minimum age or verifiable parental or guardian consent may apply where required by the law of the user’s location.
If you are under 18 in India, use of features that process personal data may require verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian under applicable law. A person under 18 must also have parent or guardian approval before making any payment.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from a person who is below the applicable age without the consent required by law. If you believe this has occurred, contact support@heykrishna.app.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to:
- obtain information about our processing of your personal data;
- access or correct personal data;
- withdraw consent;
- request erasure of personal data;
- nominate another person to exercise rights where applicable; and
- raise a grievance about our handling of personal data.
Profile information may be editable in the app. For other requests, email support@heykrishna.app. We may verify your identity before completing a request.
10. International processing
Some providers may process personal data outside India or outside the country where you live. When this occurs, we use contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards and comply with applicable restrictions on cross-border processing.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data. These include access controls, encrypted network connections, provider security controls, and restrictions on who can access private content. No system can guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a personal-data breach, we will investigate, contain, and provide notifications required by applicable law.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Service or law changes. If a change materially affects how we use personal data, we will provide notice through the Service, by email, or by another appropriate method before the change takes effect where required. The date at the top identifies the current version.
