Chavi Kala Privacy Policy

 Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

At Chavi Kala, we believe your creative assets are your own. This framework outlines our transparent practices regarding data handling, ensuring full compliance with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA). Our goal is to provide a powerful image editing suite while safeguarding your digital footprint.

2. Information We Process

To facilitate seamless image enhancement, we adhere to the principle of Data Minimization:

• Creative Content (Images): We process the specific photos you select for editing. Unlike cloud-based storage apps, our primary processing is designed to enhance your local files.

• Technical Metadata: To ensure high-quality rendering, we temporarily analyze technical attributes (such as resolution and file format) of the images you choose to edit.

• Non-Personal Identification: We do not require or store sensitive personal identifiers like your full name, residential address, or private contact lists.

3. Purpose & Utility of Data Usage

We use the gathered information strictly for creative empowerment:

• Editing Functionality: Access to your selected images is required solely to apply filters, crops, and artistic effects.

• Secure Transmission: If you utilize any AI-based cloud enhancement features, your image is transmitted via encrypted HTTPS/TLS protocols to our secure processing nodes and is not retained longer than necessary for the task.

• No Commercial Exploitation: Chavi Kala explicitly prohibits the sale or unauthorized sharing of your visual content with third-party brokers or advertising networks.

4. Device Permissions

For the editing engine to function, the following system permissions are requested:

• Media Library/Gallery: We utilize the system-standard file picker. This ensures we only access the individual files you manually select for editing, rather than scanning your entire gallery.

• Camera Access: Optional permission to capture new photos directly within the app for immediate processing.

• Network Connectivity: Used for downloading new filter packs and processing specialized AI effects.

5. Data Sovereignty & Protection

We implement robust safeguards to protect your work:

• Encryption Standards: All data in transit is protected by industry-leading encryption to prevent unauthorized interception.

• Access Control: Internal access to our processing infrastructure is strictly regulated and monitored.

6. Policy Governance

This document may be revised to align with technological advancements or legislative changes in India. Continued use of the app constitutes an acknowledgement of the updated terms.
