Privacy policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

This policy explains what happens to your information on What Aunty Thinks at whatauntythinks.com, run by Hiranya, an individual based in India. The short version: your chat is counted in your browser, and if you pay for a report, part of it is sent to an AI to write the report. We don't keep your chat.

1. Your chat

• Free charts: your file is opened and counted inside your browser. It is not uploaded to us.
• Paid report: when you unlock a report or ask a follow-up, your browser sends the chat statistics and a selection of messages (with names and timestamps) to our server, which passes them to Anthropic's Claude API to write the report. The report is streamed back to your browser.
• We do not save your chat or your report on our servers, and we do not log their contents. Once you close or refresh the page, they are gone.
• Anthropic processes this data to generate the report under its commercial terms and privacy policy (anthropic.com/legal).

2. Other people in your chat

Chats include messages from other people. You may only upload chats you are part of. We use their messages only to produce your report and don't keep them.

3. Payments

Payments are handled by Razorpay. We never see your card, UPI or bank details. We receive and keep an order ID, payment ID and amount, along with how many reports and follow-ups that payment has used, for up to 30 days, to enforce the limits and handle refunds. Razorpay keeps payment records under its own policy and the law.

4. Technical data

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Your browser keeps a small "unlock pass" in session storage for the current tab so that a paid report can be retried; it disappears when you close the tab. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies at present. If we add them, we will update this policy first.

5. Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, and raise a grievance. Since we don't keep chats, in practice this usually concerns payment records. Write to our grievance contact: Hiranya, hkarnatak25@gmail.com. We will respond as soon as we can and within the time the law requires.

6. Age

The site is for people aged 18 and over.

7. Changes

We may update this policy; the date above shows the latest version.
