Privacy Policy

What we collect, why we collect it, and — just as importantly — what we deliberately don't. If anything here is unclear, email us and we'll explain it in plain language.

Overview

In short: this policy explains how Kalaa handles personal data for account holders and, where relevant, their end users.

This Privacy Policy explains how Kalaa ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our dashboard, SDKs, and related services (the "Service"). It applies to you as a Kalaa account holder, and to the extent you submit end-user identifiers to us for per-user spend tracking, it also explains how we handle that data on your behalf.

If you're an end user of a product built by one of our customers, and you have questions about data submitted to us, please contact that company directly — they control what identifiers get sent to Kalaa and why.

02

Information we collect

In short: account details, billing info (handled by our payment processor), and usage metadata generated when your app calls an AI provider.

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Account information — your name, email address, and password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text) when you register.
  • Billing information — handled directly by our payment processor, Paddle. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but never see or store full card details ourselves.
  • Usage metadata — captured automatically by our SDK when your application calls a supported AI provider: the model used, the route or endpoint, token counts, latency, timestamp, and computed cost.
  • End-user identifiers — if you use per-user spend tracking, the user IDs you choose to pass to our SDK, so we can attribute cost to a specific user in your product.
  • Support communications — anything you send us directly, such as emails to our support address.
03

What we never see

In short: we don't log, store, or process the actual content of your AI calls — no prompts, no completions, no chat history.

Kalaa's SDKs are deliberately built to observe cost, not content. We do not capture, transmit, or store the prompt text you send to an AI provider, the completion or response you receive back, file uploads, embeddings, or any other payload data. Our SDK reads only the structural metadata a provider's API response already includes for billing purposes — which model answered, how many tokens were used, how long it took — and discards the rest before it ever leaves your infrastructure.

This means Kalaa is not, and does not need to be, a place where your users' conversations or your application's AI output ever lives.

04

How we use information

In short: to run the product, bill you correctly, send the alerts and reports you asked for, and improve the Service.

We use the information described above to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including your dashboard and reports;
  • Process payments and manage your subscription;
  • Send transactional emails, including budget or anomaly alerts you've configured, and scheduled PDF reports;
  • Respond to support requests and communicate important changes to the Service;
  • Monitor for fraud, abuse, and security issues;
  • Understand aggregate, de-identified usage patterns to improve Kalaa.

We do not use your usage metadata to train AI models, and we do not sell personal information to third parties.

05

Who we share it with

In short: a short list of infrastructure and billing providers we rely on to run Kalaa — never AI providers, and never for marketing.

We share information only with service providers who help us operate the Service (our "subprocessors"), under contractual obligations to protect it, including:

  • Paddle, for payment processing and billing;
  • Our cloud hosting provider, for application infrastructure and database storage;
  • Our transactional email provider, to deliver alerts and account notifications.

We do not send your usage metadata to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other AI provider — Kalaa observes your traffic to those providers, it does not route through them. We may also disclose information where required by law, to enforce our Terms of Service, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to the same confidentiality commitments described here.

06

How long we keep it

In short: we keep your data while your account is active, and delete it within 90 days of account closure unless we're legally required to keep it longer.

We retain account and usage data for as long as your account is active, so your dashboard, historical reports, and trend data continue to work. If you close your account, we delete your personal information and usage metadata within 90 days, except where we're required to retain certain records for longer — for example, billing records we must keep for tax and accounting purposes.

07

Your rights

In short: you can ask to see, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time.

If you're located in the UK, EEA, or another jurisdiction with similar protections, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you;
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Request deletion of your data, subject to our legitimate retention needs described above;
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format;
  • Object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing;
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent as our legal basis.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@kalaa.cc. We'll respond within one month, as required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority — in the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

08

Cookies

In short: we use a minimal set of cookies to keep you logged in and understand basic site usage — nothing built for ad tracking.

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in to your dashboard and to remember basic preferences. We may use limited analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our marketing site, so we can improve it; these don't build an advertising profile of you, and Kalaa does not run advertising of any kind. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect parts of the dashboard that rely on staying signed in.

09

International transfers & security

In short: your data may be processed outside your home country by vetted providers, and we take reasonable technical steps to keep it secure.

Kalaa and its subprocessors may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States and United Kingdom. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure it remains protected to the standard required by UK and EU data protection law.

We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular review of our infrastructure — to protect your data. No system is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security, but we treat this responsibility seriously and will notify affected customers promptly in the event of a data breach affecting their information, as required by law.

10

Changes & contact

In short: we'll tell you if this policy changes materially, and you can always reach us directly with questions.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If a change is material, we'll notify you by email or through the dashboard before it takes effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.

Questions, requests, or concerns about this policy can be sent to hello@kalaa.cc.
