Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-09

Short version: we collect the minimum needed to run baathakaani. We don't sell your data. AI moderation reads your posts (not your DMs) to keep the platform clean.

What we collect

  • Account: email, handle, password (hashed), preferred language, country (for pricing).
  • Content: posts, replies, likes, reposts, bookmarks, direct messages, uploaded images/video.
  • Session: IP address, user-agent, timestamps (rate limits + security).
  • Payment: if you subscribe, Stripe or Razorpay stores your card details — not us. We store customer + subscription IDs only.

How we use it

  • Run the platform (auth, feed, DMs, translation, moderation).
  • AI moderation: posts + messages are scored by Claude (Anthropic) for spam, hate, violence, illegal content. Nothing sent to advertisers.
  • Translation: when a user taps "translate", the post is sent to Claude and the translated version cached for other users.
  • Email (via Brevo): welcome + email verification + password reset only. No marketing without explicit opt-in.

Who we share with

  • Anthropic (Claude API): moderation + translation. No account identifiers sent.
  • Stripe / Razorpay: payment processing. Governed by their own policies.
  • Brevo: transactional email delivery.
  • Legal: if compelled by valid legal process.
  • Nobody else.

Your rights

  • Access: download all your data as JSON at /settings/export.
  • Delete: permanently delete your account at /settings/delete. Public posts you made stay attributed to your handle unless you delete them first.
  • Correction: edit your profile at /profile/edit.

Data retention

Active accounts: kept as long as the account exists. Deleted accounts: personal data (email, IP, sessions, DMs) purged within 30 days. Public posts optionally kept anonymized if not deleted.

Cookies

We use a single session cookie (baath_session) to keep you logged in. No third-party tracking cookies. No ad networks.

Children

Not for anyone under 13 (US) / 16 (EU). Accounts of users we learn are underage are deleted immediately.
