Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-30

What we store

  • Your email address and a hash of your 6-digit PIN — never the PIN itself.
  • Subjects, timetable entries, and attendance records you enter.
  • Lecture metadata (title, subject, duration, processing status) and the generated transcript/summary/notes text.
  • An encrypted Google OAuth token, used only to upload recordings and generated files to your own Drive.
  • Whether you've accepted the recording-consent notice, and when.
  • If you turn on notifications: a push subscription (an opaque endpoint URL and encryption keys assigned by your browser) tied to your account, used only to deliver KELO's own notifications to that device — not to identify or track you elsewhere.

What we don't permanently store

Recorded audio is held only long enough to upload it to your connected Google Drive and to run transcription — it is not kept as a separate permanent copy on KELO's servers once that's done. The recording itself lives in your Drive, under your Google account's own storage and sharing controls.

Third parties involved in processing

To turn a recording into a transcript and study material, audio and transcript text are sent to the transcription and AI providers KELO is configured to use at the time (for example, for speech-to-text and for summarization). These providers process that data under their own terms to return a result to KELO; KELO does not sell your data or share it for advertising.

Your Google Drive connection

Connecting Drive grants KELO permission to create and write files inside a KELO folder in your Drive. You can disconnect Drive at any time from Settings, which stops KELO from accessing it further.

Deleting your data

Deleting a subject or lecture from KELO removes its records from KELO's database. Files already saved to your Google Drive are not automatically deleted from Drive — remove those directly in Drive if you want them gone entirely.

No compliance claims

KELO is a small, independently run tool. We have not sought or obtained certification under GDPR, FERPA, or any other specific data-protection or education-records framework. If your institution or jurisdiction requires that, verify independently whether KELO is suitable for your use before relying on it for that purpose.

Changes

If how we handle your data changes in a way that affects recording consent specifically, you'll be asked to re-accept the recording notice before your next recording.
