Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 1, 2026  ·  Version 5.0  ·  Last Updated: April 24, 2026
✅ DPDP Act 2023 Compliant
🔒 The Short Version: Sakred Artha stores all your data on your device. We never sell your data or share it with advertisers. No account is required. Data leaves your device only when you use Stacks AI — then a brief summary of your figures is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate a reply, and is not stored afterwards.

Data Deletion

Sakred Artha stores your income, expense, mood, and goal data only on your device — we keep no copy on any server.

To delete your data: open Sakred Artha and clear the app's data, or uninstall the app. Either action permanently and immediately deletes all locally stored data. Because it lives only on your device, no server-side copy exists.

Stacks AI: when you ask a question, your question and a brief summary of your figures are sent to our AI provider only to generate a reply, and are not stored by us afterwards.

To request deletion or raise a privacy concern: email mihir86.mp@gmail.com — we action verified requests within 7 days.

If you uninstall the app or clear browser data, all Sakred Artha data is permanently deleted.
