Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Kalamy (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise handle your information when you use our desktop application and web platform (collectively, the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create a Kalamy account, we collect your email address. An email is required only if you wish to use Pro features or save your translation history across devices. We do not require your name, phone number, or any personally identifiable information beyond email.

Clipboard Text

When you use Kalamy to translate, improve, rephrase, or explain text, that text (your clipboard content) is processed by third-party APIs:

  • Translation — sent to Google Translate API
  • Improve, Rephrase, Explain — sent to an AI processing service

Kalamy does not store your clipboard text. Your original text is never written to our database. To avoid redundant AI calls and reduce latency, Kalamy caches AI responses server-side for up to 30 days. Only the AI output is stored — your original text is irreversibly hashed (SHA-256) before use as a cache lookup key and cannot be recovered from that hash. Cached results are not linked to any user or device.

Usage Data

We may collect limited usage information to understand how you interact with Kalamy:

  • Which features you use (Translate, Improve, Rephrase, Explain)
  • Frequency of use and session duration
  • Device type and operating system version
  • App version and platform information

This data is used only to improve the Service and is not shared with third parties.

Cookies

We use httpOnly session cookies to store your authentication token after login. These cookies are:

  • Encrypted and inaccessible to JavaScript
  • Used only for authentication and session management
  • Deleted when you log out or after 30 days of inactivity

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Process translation and AI enhancement requests in real-time
  • Manage your account and deliver features you request
  • Handle payments and subscription management (via Polar.sh)
  • Communicate with you about your account or the Service
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve performance and user experience
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Payment Data

We do not directly handle credit card or payment information. All billing is processed by Polar.sh, our payment processor. Kalamy receives only:

  • Confirmation of subscription status (Free / Pro)
  • Billing email (the address you provide at checkout)
  • Subscription start and end dates

Polar.sh's privacy policy governs how payment information is handled. We never see or store your credit card details.

4. Third-Party Services

Kalamy uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policy:

Google Translate

Translation requests are sent to Google's API. Google may retain data for service improvement purposes according to their privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

AI Processing Service

Text sent for Improve, Rephrase, and Explain features is processed by an AI API service. This text is not stored and is deleted after processing. Please contact us if you have specific questions about this service.

Polar.sh

Payment processing is handled by Polar.sh. See their privacy policy at polar.sh/privacy.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and use of the Service is at your own risk.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

Right to Access

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Right to Delete

You can request deletion of your account and associated data. We will delete your email, account settings, and any stored metadata within 30 days of your request.

Right to Correct

You can update or correct your account information at any time.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If we rely on your consent to process information, you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

7. Children's Privacy

Kalamy is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete such information and terminate the child's account immediately.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy here and updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
