What your data actually does inside VED Saarthi

Most AI privacy policies are written to be unreadable. Here's a deliberately short, deliberately plain-English explanation of what your data does inside VED Saarthi — and what it doesn't.

Key takeaways
  • Your chats belong to you — visible only to you in your account, never used to train the underlying GPT-5.5 / Claude 4.6 models.
  • Voice clips are transcribed and deleted within a few minutes — we keep the text, not the audio.
  • Image uploads sit in encrypted object storage; delete a chat and the images go with it, right down to the storage bucket.
  • You can wipe every chat, embedding, and file from Settings → Data with one click. No support ticket needed.
  • We're India DPDP-aware — legal jurisdiction is India, breach-notification obligations are live, and your consent is opt-in, not buried.

When you type a question into an AI tool, it's reasonable to want to know where that question goes, who reads it, and how long it sticks around. Most policies bury this in 4,000 words of legalese. We won't.

What we do with your messages

Your chats are stored in our database in Mumbai (India region). They are attached to your account and only visible to you. We send the message plus the relevant context (the chat history) to the model you picked (GPT-5.5 or Claude Sonnet 4.6) over an encrypted connection. The model generates a reply and we stream it back to you.

What we don't do

  • We don't train models on your data. Neither do our underlying providers — OpenAI's and Anthropic's enterprise terms (which is what we use) explicitly forbid training on customer messages.
  • We don't sell your data. Ever. To anyone.
  • We don't read your chats. The only humans who can see your messages are you. Engineers occasionally see anonymised error logs (e.g. “a 500 happened at this endpoint”) — never the content.

Voice and image uploads

Voice clips are transcribed once, the text is stored, the audio file is deleted within 24 hours. Images you upload are stored in encrypted object storage for as long as the chat exists. Delete the chat and the image goes too.

Delete everything any time

Settings → Account → Delete account wipes every message, every project, every pinned diagram, every voice transcript and every image — permanently, within 7 days. We don't keep a “just in case” copy.

India DPDP compliance

We're an Indian operator, our servers are in India, and we operate under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP). If you ever have a privacy concern, our grievance officer is named in our Legal page and replies within 7 days as required by law.

Frequently asked questions

Do you train your AI models on my conversations?+
No. Your chats are stored only for you to see. When we send a message to GPT-5.5 or Claude Sonnet 4.6, our LLM providers also have contractual no-training terms on API traffic. If any of that changes, we'll update this policy and email every active user 30 days before it takes effect.
Where is my data physically stored?+
Encrypted object storage for images and files. Chat text sits in a MongoDB cluster with encryption at rest and in transit. Our infrastructure is hosted with Emergent, and we can share more infrastructure details on request for enterprise customers.
Can I delete a single message, or do I have to nuke the whole chat?+
You can delete individual messages — the message and its cross-chat memory embedding are both removed. In the chat itself, click the trash icon on any message. To wipe entire chats or your whole account, go to Settings → Data.
What happens if VED Saarthi shuts down one day?+
You'd get 30 days' notice by email, an export tool (all your chats as .md files in a single zip), and a hard-delete date after which nothing survives in backups. We hope not to have to use this playbook — but it exists.
