Privacy Policy

Welcome to Khali (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website (collectively, the “Service”).

By using Khali, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

• Feedback and communications: any messages, surveys, or support requests you send us.
• Preferences: news categories, topics of interest, and notification settings you configure.

Information collected automatically

• Device information: device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and app version.
• Log data: IP address, access times, pages viewed, and referring URLs.

We use the information we collect to:

Khali uses artificial intelligence to personalize your experience. Our AI systems analyze your reading patterns, viewing habits, and interaction history to curate content specifically for you. This includes:

• Generating fact-based bullet points and summaries tailored to your reading level and interests.
• Balancing political perspectives by identifying your consumption patterns and ensuring exposure to multiple viewpoints.
• Recommending content formats (video, audio, article) based on your past preferences.

You can reset your personalization profile at any time in your account settings.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: trusted third parties who assist us in operating the Service (hosting, analytics, customer support).
• Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Aggregated data: we may share anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at privacy@khali.app.

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability.
• Withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@khali.app.

Khali is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites and news sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy within the app and updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
