This notice explains what Notchy collects, why, and your rights under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
What we collect
| Data | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email and profile picture from Google sign-in | Your account, support, important notices | Until you delete your account |
| Your Gemini API key (encrypted with AES-256) | To answer your AI requests with your key | Until you remove it or delete your account |
| Plan, trial dates, subscription status, payment references | Billing and access | As long as tax and accounting law requires |
| A one-way hash of your PC's Windows ID, and the PC name | One free trial per PC, abuse prevention | The hash may be kept after account deletion to prevent repeat trials |

What stays on your PC
Your to-dos, shelf, clipboard history, settings, email app password and notes stay on your PC (encrypted where sensitive). Screenshots, camera pictures, voice and your questions are sent to Google's Gemini API only when you use an AI feature, with your key; we don't store them on our servers. If you choose Claude or ChatGPT in the Ask box, questions go through your own Claude Code or Codex app to Anthropic or OpenAI under their policies.
Who we share with
Google (sign-in, Gemini AI), Cloudflare (hosting our servers), Razorpay (payments). We don't sell your data or use it for advertising.
Your rights
You can access and download your data (Settings → Account & plan → Download my data), correct it, delete your account (Settings → Account & plan → Delete account), withdraw consent, and nominate someone to exercise your rights. Write to iatulsrivastav@gmail.com for anything else.
Security
Keys are encrypted at rest, connections use HTTPS, sessions expire and can be revoked, and licences are cryptographically signed.
Children
Notchy isn't meant for children under 18 without a parent's or guardian's consent.
