Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how ZELITHON PRIVATE LIMITED (“Zelithon”, “we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the Khive mobile application and the website khive.app (https://khive.app).

Who we are

Khive is published by ZELITHON PRIVATE LIMITED (“Zelithon”). Headquarters: HSR Layout, Bengaluru, India. Contact: developer@zelithon.com or +91 81976 70002. Parent company site: https://zelithon.com.

Our privacy promise

Khive does not store your spaces or thoughts on Zelithon servers. Your library is local-first: spaces and thoughts live on your device by default. Optional encrypted backups go only to a cloud account you choose (for example Google Drive) — never to Khive or Zelithon servers.

Information stored on your device

To provide core features, Khive stores on your device (and may encrypt at rest):

• Spaces, thoughts, checklists, reminders, and related metadata
• App preferences (appearance, layout, onboarding state)
• Encryption material kept in the device secure store (device key / backup key as applicable)

Space Lock and Hide use Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode as a local gate. Biometric data stays on the device and is not sent to Zelithon.

Optional permissions

• Notifications — local timed and next-open reminders (no remote push from Zelithon).
• Microphone / speech recognition — optional voice capture to turn speech into thought text.
• Photos / Share sheet — when you share text, links, or related content into Khive from other apps.

These permissions are requested when needed and can be changed in system Settings.

Optional Google Drive backup

If you enable encrypted backup, Khive uses Google Sign-In so you can upload and restore encrypted backup packs to your Google Drive. In that case:

• Google may receive your Google account identifiers and email as part of Sign-In
• Backup packs are encrypted before upload; Zelithon does not host pack contents and cannot read your thoughts from Drive
• Google’s terms and privacy policy also apply to Drive and Sign-In

You can disconnect Drive, delete backups from Drive, or clear local data from in-app Settings.

Website (khive.app)

This marketing and support site is primarily static. We do not require an account to browse it. Standard server or CDN logs (such as IP address, user agent, and request time) may be collected by our hosting provider for security and reliability. If you email us, we receive the address and content you send so we can respond.

How we use information

We use information only to:

• Operate Khive and this website
• Respond to support and App Review inquiries
• Maintain security and prevent abuse of our services
• Meet legal obligations when required

We do not sell personal information. We do not use your thoughts for advertising or tracking across apps and websites.

Sharing

We do not share your library with third parties. Limited technical data may be processed by infrastructure providers that host this website or deliver email, or when required by law. Optional Google services process data under Google’s policies when you choose Drive backup.

Data retention & your choices

Local library data remains until you delete it in the app, uninstall the app, or clear device storage. You can export or clear data from Settings where available. To request deletion of personal information we may hold from email or support (for example messages you sent us), contact developer@zelithon.com. Some records may be retained when legally required.

For privacy choices related to optional cloud backup, manage or remove backups in Google Drive and disconnect the account in Khive Settings.

Children

Khive is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International users

Khive is operated from India. If you use the app or site from another country, information related to support or website logs may be processed in India or where our hosting providers operate.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of Khive or khive.app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
