Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 July 2026 · Applies to dilsekaho.com and dilsekaho.pages.dev

The short version

You can write here without an account. We don't ask who you are.
What you write is never published with your name — not even if you sign in.
If you sign in, we store only your name, email, streak and mood history.
We don't sell your data. Not to anyone, not ever.
Want it all deleted? Email us and it's gone within 30 days.

1. Who we are

Dil Se Kaho ("we", "us") runs the website at dilsekaho.com. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the "DPDP Act"), we are the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described below — meaning we decide why and how it is handled, and we are answerable for it.

Contact: hello@dilsekaho.com

2. What we collect, and why

What	When	Why
What you write — your feeling text and mood choice	Every time you create a card	To generate your line. Stored on your own device. If you are signed in, it may also be stored against your account so your history follows you across devices.
Name and email	Only if you choose to sign in	To greet you, to send your one-time sign-in code, and — only if you tick the box — to send you a daily line.
Streak and mood history	As you use the site	To show your streak and, in future, your mood patterns.
Basic technical data — approximate region, browser type, pages viewed	Automatically	To keep the site running, prevent abuse, and understand roughly how many people visit.

What we deliberately do not collect

No password — sign-in uses a one-time code sent to your email.
No phone number.
No precise location, no contacts, no photos from your device.
No advertising trackers, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.

3. Your consent, and taking it back

We process your personal data on the basis of your consent, as required by the DPDP Act. You give that consent when you choose to sign in or subscribe. Consent is specific: agreeing to sign in does not mean agreeing to marketing emails — that is a separate box you tick, and you can untick it any time from your profile.

You may withdraw consent whenever you like, as easily as you gave it, by turning off the daily line in your profile or by emailing us to close your account. Withdrawing consent does not undo anything we did lawfully before you withdrew it.

4. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you have the right to:

Know what personal data of yours we hold and what we have done with it.
Correct anything inaccurate, and complete anything incomplete.
Erase your data when it is no longer needed for the purpose you gave it for.
Complain to us, and escalate to the Data Protection Board of India if we don't resolve it.
Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf if you die or become incapacitated.

To use any of these, email hello@dilsekaho.com from the address on your account. We respond within 30 days.

5. Grievance Officer

If something about your data isn't right, write to our Grievance Officer. We aim to reply within 7 days and resolve within 30.

Grievance Officer: Gaurav
Email: hello@dilsekaho.com

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

6. Children

Under the DPDP Act, anyone under 18 in India is a child. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and we do not track children or serve them behavioural advertising.

Please note: if you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before creating an account. You can still read and use the site without signing in. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will remove it.

7. Who else sees your data

We never sell your personal data, and we never share it for anyone else's marketing. We do rely on a small number of service providers ("Data Processors") who handle data only on our instructions:

Cloudflare — hosting and security for the website.
Our email provider — to deliver your sign-in code and, if you subscribed, the daily line.
Pexels — supplies the background photographs. Your words are never sent to them; we only request a photo that matches a mood.

We may disclose data if the law requires it — for example, a valid order from a court or authority.

8. How long we keep it

Sign-in codes: minutes. They expire and are discarded.
Account details and mood history: while your account is open.
After you ask us to delete, or after 24 months of no activity: erased within 30 days, except anything we must keep by law.
Anonymous, aggregated counts (for example "1,284 feelings shared today") may be kept indefinitely — these cannot be traced back to you.

9. Storage on your device

We use your browser's local storage — not advertising cookies — to remember your streak, your chosen language and colour theme, and your mood history when you are not signed in. Clearing your browser data clears all of it. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

10. Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), passwordless sign-in, and limit who can access data to what is necessary. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects your data we will notify you and the Data Protection Board as the DPDP Act requires.

11. Where your data is handled

Our providers may process data on servers outside India. Where that happens, we rely on providers who offer appropriate safeguards and we comply with any restrictions the Government of India notifies under the DPDP Act.

12. This is not medical care

Dil Se Kaho is a place to express feelings. It is not therapy, diagnosis or medical advice, and the lines we generate are not clinical guidance. If you are struggling, please speak to someone you trust or a qualified professional. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If the change is significant and you have an account, we will email you.
