Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 June 2026

Hybridpod is built on one structural decision: the AI runs on your device, and your content stays there. This policy explains exactly what that means in practice.

What stays on your device

• Your conversations, prompts, and the assistant's answers.
• Documents, photos, scans, and voice recordings you share with the app.
• Your knowledge base, memory, preferences, and account data — stored in an encrypted database on your device, protected by keys derived from your credentials and your device's secure hardware.

None of the above is transmitted to Hybridpod. The inference path — the code that runs the AI — makes no network calls, and this is enforced in our build system as a hard failure, not reviewed as a policy.

What does leave your device

• Model downloads. The app fetches signed AI model files from our content delivery network. This involves standard connection metadata (IP address, requested file), like any download.
• Account registration (optional features). If you create a synced account, we store your email address and a salted credential hash — never your content.
• Operational telemetry (content-free by schema). Aggregate signals such as crash signatures, feature usage counts, and latency — the telemetry schema has no field that could carry your words, files, or audio. Stack traces are content-stripped on your device before they are sent.
• Web search, weather, and market data (only when you ask). If you ask a question that needs live data, the app sends that search query through our relay to the data provider. Your identity is not attached to the query content beyond what is needed to deliver the result, and these requests are never used to build a profile of you.

What we never do

• We never read, store, or train on your conversations or files.
• We never sell or share personal data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We never build behavioural profiles across users or tenants.

Your rights

Because your data lives on your device, you can export it (Settings → Export data) or erase it at any time. For account data held by us (email, credential hash), you may request access, correction, or deletion at hello@hybridpod.ai. We honour applicable rights under GDPR, India's DPDPA, and similar laws.

Institutional deployments

If you use Hybridpod through your school, university, or employer, your organisation configures its own branding and policies, but the same architecture applies: each user's content stays on their own device, isolated and encrypted per tenant. Your organisation's administrators see aggregate usage, never content.
