Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Introduction

LumiChats is a student-first AI platform designed for educational purposes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use LumiChats, including Chat Mode and Study Mode.

Your privacy is extremely important to us. LumiChats is built so that students can study with confidence, knowing their content is handled responsibly and securely.

We are committed to transparency. This policy outlines exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to operate the platform and provide you with a seamless learning experience:

Account Information

  • Email address: Used for account creation, login, and communication
  • Encrypted login credentials: Passwords are hashed and encrypted. We never have access to your plain-text password
  • Account settings: Your preferences and customization choices

Usage Data

  • Session data: Basic information about your active sessions for platform functionality
  • Interaction logs: Minimal data required to maintain conversation continuity and improve service quality
  • Device information: Basic browser and device type for compatibility and security

  • Payment details: Processed securely through Razorpay. We never store your full credit card information

3. Study Mode – Content Privacy

Study Mode is designed with maximum privacy in mind. Here's exactly how your uploaded content is handled:

No Permanent Storage

Any PDF or study material you upload is NOT saved to our database permanently. Your textbooks, notes, and study materials remain completely private.

Temporary Processing Only

Content is processed in memory temporarily only to generate AI responses to your questions. Once processed, it's immediately discarded.

Session-Based Access

When your study session ends or you close the browser, all uploaded content is automatically removed from our servers.

No Reuse or Sharing

Your study material is never reused for training AI models, never shared with third parties, and never accessed by our team or other users.

Your study material is never stored, reused, or shared. Complete privacy guaranteed.

4. Chat Mode – Document Conversations

When using Chat Mode with documents, storage works differently to maintain conversation history:

Conversation Continuity

Uploaded files are processed and relevant content may be stored to maintain conversation context across multiple messages. This ensures the AI can reference previous parts of your conversation.

User Consent

Storage happens with your explicit consent when you choose to upload files to Chat Mode. You control what you upload and can delete conversations at any time.

Private to Your Account

Stored content is associated only with your account and is never visible to other users, staff, or third parties. Only you can access your chat history.

User Responsibility

You are responsible for the content you upload. LumiChats does not claim ownership over user-uploaded materials and respects intellectual property rights.
