1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve the Anavrta reading experience.

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

Account Registration

• Full name
• Email address
• Password (stored in encrypted form — we never store plain-text passwords)

Content You Upload or Import

• URLs you paste into the platform for reader-mode conversion
• Files you upload, including EPUB, PDF, or document formats
• Notes, highlights, or annotations you create within the platform

Payment Information If you subscribe to a paid tier of Anavrta, payment is processed through our third-party payment gateway (Razorpay or Stripe). We do not store your full card number, CVV, or banking credentials on our servers. We retain only transaction confirmation records and your subscription status.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

Usage Analytics

• Pages visited within the application
• Features used (e.g., Flow Mode, Text-to-Speech, auto-scroll)
• Reading session duration and frequency
• Device type, browser type, and operating system
• IP address and approximate geographic region

This data is collected in aggregate to understand how users interact with the platform and to improve its performance. We do not use this data to build individual behavioural profiles for advertising purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your Anavrta account
• To process and display content you import or upload for reading
• To provide, maintain, and improve platform features
• To process payments and manage your subscription
• To send you essential service-related communications (e.g., account confirmation, payment receipts)
• To diagnose technical issues and monitor platform stability
• To analyse aggregate usage patterns and improve the reading experience

We do not use your data to serve advertisements. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your reading content to train AI models without your explicit, informed consent.

3. Third-Party Services We Use

Anavrta integrates with select third-party services to operate reliably. Each service has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them.

3.1 Firebase / Supabase (Authentication & Database)

We use Firebase or Supabase to manage user authentication and store account data securely. Your email, name, and account preferences are stored within these systems. Data is stored in secure, encrypted environments.

3.2 Payment Gateway (Razorpay / Stripe)

Payments for premium subscriptions are processed through Razorpay (for Indian users) or Stripe (for international users). These providers are PCI-DSS compliant. Your payment details are governed by their respective privacy policies. Anavrta only receives confirmation of a successful or failed transaction.

3.3 Vercel (Hosting & Deployment)

Anavrta's web application is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may process request logs including IP addresses and browser metadata as part of standard infrastructure operations. This data is handled under Vercel's privacy policy and data processing agreements.

3.4 Analytics and Error Monitoring

Anavrta uses four measurement services. None of them receives your name, your email address, or the content of anything you read.

• Google Analytics 4 — audience and acquisition reporting. Receives page views and an anonymised IP address. No account identifier is sent.
• PostHog (United States) — product usage: which features are used and where people stop. Receives product events, plus your account identifier (an opaque UUID) and your subscription tier once you sign in.
• Sentry (United States) — error monitoring. Receives error reports together with your account identifier and tier, so we can tell whether a fault affects a particular group of users.
• Vercel Analytics — page performance. Receives aggregate page-load timings only.

What we deliberately never send: your email address, display name, avatar, phone number, postal address, or the title or text of anything you read or upload. Your reading content never leaves our own systems. Before you sign in, these services see only a randomly generated device identifier — nothing that identifies you personally. When you sign out, we instruct PostHog and Sentry to clear the association with your account, so activity on a shared device is not attributed to you.

Session recording, autocapture, and behavioural advertising features are switched off.

We do not share your personal data with any third parties beyond the above for operational purposes, and we do not sell or rent your data to marketers, data brokers, or any other commercial entities.

4. Data Storage and Security

Anavrta stores user data on secure cloud infrastructure. We implement the following measures to protect your information:

• Passwords are hashed and salted using industry-standard cryptographic methods
• Data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
• Access to production databases is restricted to authorised personnel only
• Regular security reviews are conducted on our systems

While we take all reasonable precautions, no system is completely immune to security risks. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

5. Content You Upload or Import

Files, URLs, and documents you bring into Anavrta are used exclusively to render content within your personal reading environment. We do not:

• Read, scan, or analyse the substance of your uploaded content for commercial purposes
• Share your uploaded content with other users
• Use your uploaded content to train AI systems

Content you upload is stored securely and associated with your account. It is not accessible to anyone other than you unless you explicitly choose to share it (a feature not currently available on the platform).

6. Your Rights

As a user of Anavrta, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

6.1 Access

You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time.

6.2 Correction

You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information associated with your account.

6.3 Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and all associated personal data by writing to us at admin@anavrta.com. We will process your request within 30 days and confirm once your data has been permanently deleted. Note that some transaction records may be retained for the minimum period required by Indian financial regulations.

6.4 Withdrawal of Consent

Where we rely on your consent to process data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.

6.5 Portability

You may request a portable export of your personal data, including your notes and highlights, in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at admin@anavrta.com. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active. If you request deletion of your account:

• Account credentials and profile data will be permanently deleted within 30 days
• Uploaded content and notes will be permanently deleted within 30 days
• Anonymised, aggregated usage statistics may be retained indefinitely as they cannot be linked to any individual
• Transaction records will be retained for the period required under the Income Tax Act and GST regulations applicable in India

8. Children's Privacy

Anavrta is a general-purpose reading platform and does not specifically target children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child's data has been collected may contact us at admin@anavrta.com to request its removal.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Anavrta uses cookies and similar session technologies to:

• Keep you logged into your account
• Remember your reading preferences (e.g., theme, font size)
• Measure platform performance and diagnose issues

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may affect the functionality of the platform (for example, you may need to log in each time you visit).

10. Applicable Law

Anavrta is operated from India. This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), as applicable. If you are accessing Anavrta from outside India, please be aware that your data will be processed and stored in accordance with Indian law. By using the platform, you consent to this transfer and processing.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

• Update the 'Last Updated' date at the top of this document
• Notify registered users via email at least 14 days before the changes take effect

Continued use of Anavrta after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

1. About Anavrta

Anavrta is a long-form reading platform developed and operated from India. The platform is designed to help users focus on, consume, and engage with long-form textual content — including articles, books, documents, and personal notes. Anavrta offers both a free tier and paid subscription tiers, with features varying accordingly. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Anavrta web application and any related services (collectively, the "Platform"). The Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Anavrta ("we", "us", or "our").

2.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must not share your username or password with any other person. Any activity that occurs under your account will be your responsibility, whether or not authorised by you. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, you must notify us immediately at admin@anavrta.com. We will not be liable for any loss arising from unauthorised use of your account prior to your notification.

2.3 One Account Per User

Each user may maintain only one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, suspensions, or other restrictions is a violation of these Terms.

3. Free and Paid Subscription Tiers

3.1 Free Tier

Anavrta offers a free tier that provides access to core reading features, including Flow Mode, URL import, file upload, Text-to-Speech, and basic reading customisation. Free tier users also have limited access to Focus Mode (AI-assisted reading features), subject to usage caps that may change at our discretion.

3.2 Paid Subscription

Paid subscribers receive enhanced access including, but not limited to, extended Focus Mode usage, advanced AI interactions, and additional storage. Specific features and limits applicable to each tier will be published on the Platform and may be updated from time to time.

3.3 Billing

• Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at the time of purchase
• Payments are processed through Razorpay or Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis
• All fees are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise
• We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing with at least 30 days' written notice to existing subscribers

3.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at admin@anavrta.com. Upon cancellation, your paid access will continue until the end of the current billing period. You will not be charged for subsequent periods.

3.5 Refund Policy

Refund terms for voluntary cancellations are currently being finalised. Until a formal refund policy is published on the Platform, all refund requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please contact admin@anavrta.com to raise a refund request. Accounts terminated for violations of these Terms are not eligible for any refund.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

Anavrta is built for personal, lawful reading and idea development. The following behaviours are strictly prohibited on the Platform:

4.1 Prohibited Content

• Uploading copyrighted material: You must not upload, import, or share content for which you do not hold the rights or a valid licence. Anavrta does not authorise copyright infringement and will respond to valid takedown notices.
• Illegal content: You must not use the Platform to store, distribute, or engage with any content that is unlawful under Indian law or the laws of your jurisdiction, including content that is defamatory, obscene, or incites violence.

4.2 Prohibited Behaviour

• Credential sharing: You must not share your login credentials with others or allow third parties to access the Platform using your account.
• Platform abuse: You must not attempt to disrupt, overload, or compromise the Platform's infrastructure, security, or integrity.
• Impersonation: You must not impersonate any individual, entity, or Anavrta itself.
• Circumventing restrictions: You must not use technical or other means to bypass usage limits, paywalls, or access controls on the Platform.

5. User Content

5.1 Your Content, Your Responsibility

You retain ownership of all content you upload, import, or create on Anavrta — including files, notes, highlights, and annotations. By uploading or creating content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights and licences to that content
• Your content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party
• Your content complies with all applicable laws

5.2 Licence to Anavrta

By uploading User Content, you grant Anavrta a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Platform's services to you. This licence does not extend to selling, sublicensing, or commercially exploiting your content. We do not use your User Content to train AI models or to generate insights for third parties.

5.3 Content Sharing (Planned Feature)

Anavrta plans to introduce features that allow users to optionally share notes, highlights, or curated reading lists with other users. When this feature becomes available, additional terms governing shared content will be published. Sharing will always be an explicit, opt-in action — your content will never be shared without your deliberate choice to do so.

5.4 Content Removal

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that, in our reasonable judgement, violates these Terms or applicable law. We will endeavour to notify you before removal except where immediate action is required to protect users or the Platform.

6. Focus Mode and AI Features

6.1 Nature of AI Outputs

Focus Mode integrates AI-powered features including content summarisation, question answering, concept clarification, and quiz generation. These outputs are generated automatically and may not always be accurate, complete, or current. AI-generated content on Anavrta is intended to support your reading and comprehension — not to replace primary sources, professional advice, or verified research. Always exercise independent judgement when acting on AI-generated summaries or explanations.

6.2 Usage Limits

Focus Mode is available on both free and paid tiers. Free tier users are subject to monthly usage limits. Paid subscribers receive extended access. Limits are subject to change and will always be communicated clearly within the Platform.

6.3 Your Data in Focus Mode

When you use Focus Mode, the text you are reading may be sent to an AI processing service to generate responses. This processing is governed by our Privacy Policy. We do not use your reading content to train AI models without your explicit consent.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Anavrta's Property

All elements of the Anavrta Platform — including its design, interface, source code, trademarks, logos, and proprietary features — are owned by or licensed to Anavrta. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Anavrta's intellectual property to you.

7.2 Restrictions

You must not copy, reproduce, republish, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Platform without our prior written consent. This includes the Platform's visual design, feature architecture, and any Anavrta-authored content.

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Platform to us, you grant Anavrta a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback for any purpose, including improving the Platform, without any obligation to compensate you.

8. Third-Party Content and Links

Anavrta allows users to import content from external URLs and third-party sources. We do not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for any third-party content accessed through the Platform. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of third-party content complies with the rights holder's terms and applicable copyright law. The Platform may contain links to external websites. These links are provided for convenience only. Anavrta has no control over the content or practices of external sites and accepts no liability for them.
