Hey Krishna

Privacy

Draft for legal review before launch · October 2026

The short version

Hey Krishna keeps as little about you as it can. Your reading progress, saved verses and settings live on your phone. We never sell your data and we never show ads.

What stays on your phone

Your name (if you give one), the verses you have read and saved, your journeys, your reminder time and your playback speed. Deleting the app, or Me › Reset this device, removes them.

When you make an account

We only ask for an account when you buy Sadhak or choose to save your progress. Then we keep how you sign in (your Google account, or your phone number, which we verify with a one-time code by SMS), your plan and your progress, so you can restore them on another device. We also keep a list of the devices signed in to your account, which you can see and sign out of in Me › Devices.

Conversations with the AI guide

Your messages are sent to our server to be answered, together with the relevant verses. We keep your questions and the guide's answers for 90 days so that our Gita scholars can check the guide's answers are accurate and kind, then delete them. Only our review team can see them; they are never sold or used for advertising. They are included in your data export, and deleted at once if you delete your account. We also keep counts (how many messages, how long a call lasted) for limits and billing. If a message suggests you may be in danger, the app shows help lines; it does not contact anyone.

Analytics

With your consent, we count anonymous events such as finishing onboarding or a verse, to see what helps people keep reading. You can turn this off at any time in Me › Privacy and data.

Payments

Purchases go through the App Store, Google Play or Stripe. We never see your card details; we receive whether your plan is active and a record of each payment (item, amount, date) for your invoices.

Your rights

You can export everything we hold about you, or delete your account and all of it, from Me › Privacy and data. Deletion is permanent and completes within 30 days. If you are in the EU, UK or California you have these rights under GDPR, UK GDPR and CCPA.

Children

Hey Krishna is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
