Privacy policy

01Who we are

The website and app are operated by Mahasamuha LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“we” or “us”). You can reach us at contact@mahasamuha.com.

02This website

The website has no accounts, forms, cookies, analytics or advertising. Like any website, it is delivered by a hosting provider (GitHub Pages) that processes your IP address and basic request details to serve pages and protect against abuse. We have not enabled analytics with that provider.

03The Mahasamuha app

The app works with a backend server that you run and configure. To answer you, the app sends the following to that server:

• What you type, and transcripts of what you say. Voice audio is processed on your device and never leaves it.
• Your conversation history and the memories your server builds from it.
• The credentials you use to sign in to your server.
• Your approximate location, used to get weather for where you are. The app does not use precise location.
• Names and phone numbers from your contacts that match a request, such as the person you ask to call or text.

This data travels over an encrypted connection and is stored on your device and on your server. Because it leaves your device, the app’s Google Play listing shows it as collected. It is not sent to us. Mahasamuha LLC does not operate your server and has no access to it.

Some permissions are used only on your phone or your own network:

• Microphone: voice is turned into text on your device. Audio is not recorded or sent anywhere.
• Text messages: when you ask the app to send a text, your phone sends it through your carrier like any other text. Its wording is part of your transcript.
• Local network: used to find speakers and cast to them. That traffic stays on your network.

The app does not share this data with anyone else. Your server may pass data to services you connect it to, such as an AI model provider. You choose those services, and their own privacy policies apply to what they receive.

The app contains no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting code. When you install it through Google Play, Google handles information about that download under its own privacy policy.

You control deletion. Removing data from your server deletes it there, and uninstalling the app removes what it stored on your device.

04What we don’t do

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

05Children

Mahasamuha is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, email us and we will delete it.

06Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, we update the effective date above. Material changes to how the app handles data will be announced in the app before they take effect.
