This policy is designed to meet the requirements of the Google Play Developer Program Policies, Apple App Store Review Guidelines, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA), the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Please read it carefully.
1. Introduction
RAGNES Technologies ("we", "us", "our") operates the Neni application and the website heyneni.com (collectively, "the Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have over your data.
By downloading, installing, or using the Neni application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Neni is an AI-powered life operating system for families. Because the Service involves voice data, health-related information, financial data, communications content, and features accessible to children under 13, this policy contains specific and detailed disclosures for each category. We take your privacy seriously.

The data controller (under GDPR) and data fiduciary (under DPDPA) responsible for your personal data is:
RAGNES Technologies

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, RAGNES Technologies acts as the data controller. For users in India, RAGNES Technologies acts as the data fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
3. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, information generated through your use of the Service, and information from third-party services you connect to Neni. Below is a complete list:

3.2 Voice and Audio Data
● Wake-word detection: processed entirely on-device using Picovoice Porcupine. No audio is transmitted to our servers for wake-word detection.
● Voice commands: audio captured after wake-word activation is transmitted to our voice processing partner (Vapi.ai) for speech-to-text transcription. Transcripts are then processed by our AI systems.
● AI screening call recordings: for business/HR users only — call transcripts and recordings of AI-conducted candidate screening calls are stored to provide screening reports.
Google Play and Apple App Store requirement: we disclose that microphone access is used for voice command functionality and AI-conducted calls. Users may revoke microphone permission at any time through device settings, which will disable voice features.
3.3 Communications Content
● With your explicit consent, Neni reads message content from connected services including Gmail, Telegram, Slack, and WhatsApp (where available). This content is processed to extract tasks, reminders, and important information.
● We do not store the full text of your messages beyond what is necessary to deliver the extracted summary. Raw message content is not retained after processing.

3.5 Financial Data
● Bill names, amounts, and due dates (entered by you)

● Children's profiles are created by a parent or legal guardian who must verify their identity and provide verifiable parental consent before a child's profile is activated.
● For children under 13, we collect: the child's first name, age, grade/class level, and learning activity history.
