Privacy Policy

Your privacy,
our priority.

Last updated: February 2026

1. Introduction

LumiChats is a student-first AI platform designed for educational purposes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use LumiChats, including Chat Mode and Study Mode.

Your privacy is extremely important to us. LumiChats is built so that users can work with confidence, knowing their content is handled responsibly and securely.

We are committed to transparency. This policy outlines exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to operate the platform:

Account Information

Email address: for account creation, login, and communication
Encrypted credentials: passwords are hashed. We never access your plain-text password
Account settings: your preferences and customization choices

Usage Data

Session data: basic info about active sessions for platform functionality
Interaction logs: minimal data for conversation continuity and service improvement
Device information: basic browser and device type for compatibility and security

Payment Information

Transaction records: payment history for your account
Payment details: processed securely through Razorpay. We never store your full card details

3. Study Mode – Content Privacy

Study Mode is designed with maximum privacy in mind:

No Permanent Storage

Any PDF or study material you upload is NOT saved to our database permanently.

Temporary Processing Only

Content is processed in memory to generate AI responses, then immediately discarded.

Session-Based Access

When your session ends or you close the browser, all uploaded content is removed.

No Reuse or Sharing

Your material is never reused for training AI models, never shared with third parties.

Your study material is never stored, reused, or shared. Complete privacy guaranteed.

4. Chat Mode – Document Conversations

When using Chat Mode with documents, storage works differently to maintain conversation history:

Conversation Continuity

Relevant content may be stored to maintain context across multiple messages.

User Consent

Storage happens with your explicit consent when you choose to upload files.

Private to Your Account

Stored content is associated only with your account — invisible to other users, staff, or third parties.

User Responsibility

You are responsible for the content you upload. LumiChats doesn't claim ownership of user materials.
