Kayda Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 7, 2026 • Effective Date: November 7, 2026
Last Updated: November 7, 2026 • Effective Date: November 7, 2026
This policy explains what personal data the Kayda mobile application (the “App”) collects, why, how it is protected, and the choices you have. By using Kayda you agree to it and to the Kayda Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not sign in or use the App.
Kayda is an app for reading and comparing Indian criminal law: the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam that replaced them. It also includes the Constitution of India, the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and other civil Acts on trusts, family law, co-operative societies, food and health, intellectual property and human rights.
Kayda is run by TechGlobe Consultancy Services LLP (“we,” “our,” or “us”), which decides why and how your personal data is processed and is the Data Fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”). You can reach us at admin@techglobe.in.
Kayda needs a Google sign-in before you can use it. After signing in you are asked once, on each device, to accept the in-app disclaimer, which links to this policy and the Terms of Service.
When you sign in and use Kayda, we collect:
Some data never leaves your phone: your theme, text size, read-aloud speed and language choice; an app update you chose to skip; downloaded laws and cached law text; and an offline copy of your library and any changes waiting to sync. Your library copy and sign-in tokens are stored encrypted. This data is removed when you uninstall the App or clear its storage.
Kayda uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used, so that we can improve it: for example how many people use it each day, how often they come back, which screens they open, which Acts they read and how quizzes go. It starts only after you sign in and accept the disclaimer.
It collects from your phone: an app-instance id created by Firebase and the phone’s advertising id (not your name, email or Google account), the phone’s model, operating system, app version, language and approximate location (country or city, from your IP address), the screens you open, and events such as a quiz or mock test finished with its score, or a section opened or shared with its Act. It never receives your name, email, notes, highlights, anything you write or the words you search for. We do not use analytics data to personalise ads. Google processes this data for us under its own terms and keeps it for at most 14 months.
We do not use your account details, library or notes to target ads, build profiles to sell, or train AI models.
We process your personal data with your consent, which you give when you choose to sign in, and you can withdraw it at any time (see “Your Rights”). We may also process it for certain legitimate uses allowed by the DPDP Act, such as responding to a request you made, complying with law, or protecting the security of the service. Withdrawing consent means we can no longer provide features that need an account.
Sign-in is handled by Google. Google’s own privacy policy applies to what Google collects when you use it. You can see and remove Kayda’s access in your Google Account settings under security and third-party access.
Daily study reminder: If you turn it on, Kayda sends you the section of the day, from the Acts you chose, every day at 9 am India time, as a push notification through Firebase Cloud Messaging and in your notification inbox. Whether it is on is kept in your account. You can turn it off in the App’s Settings or on the Study screen.
App updates: After you sign in, Kayda asks for permission to show notifications and registers your phone with Firebase Cloud Messaging, Google’s push service, so that we can tell you when a new version is available. We send only notices about the App itself and the study reminder if you turned it on, never advertising. Google’s privacy policy applies to how Firebase delivers them. Your phone’s token is removed from our servers when you sign out on that phone or delete your account.
Notification inbox: Each notification we send is also kept in your account, so you can read it later under the bell on the Home screen, even if your phone did not show it. A notification you have read is deleted the next day, and one you have not read is deleted after 30 days.
You can turn Kayda’s notifications off in your phone’s settings. Even then, Kayda checks each time it starts whether your version is still supported, and may ask you to update before you continue.
Read aloud uses the text-to-speech engine on your phone. Depending on your phone, that engine (for example Google’s) may process text on your device or on its provider’s servers under its own policy. Kayda does not record your voice.
Kayda is free and is supported by ads. It shows banner ads from Google AdMob at the bottom of the main tabs and the search screen, and sometimes a full-screen ad when you leave the results of a quiz or mock test (never on your first quizzes, and at most one every few minutes). There are no ads over the text of a law you are reading, or while you answer a quiz or mock test or study flashcards.
To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the App collects from your phone: its advertising id, your IP address (from which an approximate location can be worked out), information about the phone and the App (such as model, operating system, app version and language), and how you interact with the ads (for example, whether an ad was shown or tapped). Google may use this to show you personalised ads based on your interests. Google’s privacy policy applies to this data, and Google keeps it under its own rules. Learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
We do not give Google or any advertiser your name, email, profile, library, notes, study data or what you read.
Your choices: On Android you can delete or reset your advertising id (Settings > Google > Ads, or Settings > Privacy > Ads), which stops personalised ads linked to it. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Kayda asks for your consent before showing ads, and you can change your choice at any time in the App under Settings > Ad privacy choices.
Ads come from third parties. We do not endorse what they offer, and an ad is never legal advice. Kayda administrators can turn ads off for an account.
When you share a section or export a PDF, you choose where it goes. Once you send it to another app or person, we cannot control what they do with it. To make a PDF, the section text is sent to our server, which builds the file and returns it to you.
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share it only with:
Your data is stored on servers of our cloud providers, which may be located outside India. The DPDP Act allows transfers to other countries unless the Government of India restricts them. We choose providers with appropriate security.
No system is perfectly secure. Data Breach Notification: if a breach affects your personal data, we will tell you and the Data Protection Board of India as the DPDP Act requires.
Under the DPDP Act you may:
Kayda is meant for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are under 18, please do not sign in without a parent or guardian’s consent. If you think a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.
Notes and highlights are private to your account, but they are stored on our servers. Do not enter confidential client information, case details or other people’s sensitive personal data in them.
Kayda gives legal information, not legal advice. We do not review your notes or activity to give you advice, and nothing here creates a lawyer-client relationship.
The App requests the following device permissions:
The App does not request location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or storage permissions.
Kayda may link to outside sites, such as official government sources. We do not control them and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date is at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the App before it takes effect. Using Kayda after a change means you accept the new policy.
This policy is governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction.
For any question, request or complaint about your personal data, write to us. Please include the email address of your Kayda account. We will acknowledge your message and aim to reply within 7 days, and resolve the matter within 30 days.
