Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
QSI is a Synthetic Intelligence (SI) platform, made in India for the world, at quantumsi.in. It is run by Quantum Synthetic Intelligence Private Limited, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India (“we”, “us”). Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the “DPDP Act”), Quantum Synthetic Intelligence Private Limited is the Data Fiduciary: we decide why and how personal data is processed through QSI.
- Privacy questions, requests and grievances: privacy@quantumsi.in. Use this address for any question about how we process personal data.

This policy explains what happens to your data when you use QSI. It is written with reference to the DPDP Act and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025. It is meant to be read on its own; you shouldn’t need any other document to understand it.
2. What data we process and why
Accounts are optional: most features work without logging in. Logging in raises your daily limits and adds a few members-only features, such as making pictures. The table below lists each feature, the data involved, why we need it, and whether our server keeps it.
| Feature | Data involved | Why | Kept by QSI’s server? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chat & Swarm |
|
To get an answer from an AI model and show it to you. | No, except a careful answer waiting to be collected. The server passes the content to an AI provider and returns the answer. It does not save your messages, photos or document text. The exception is a “careful answer”: the answer to a question that needs exact working (for example a calculation, a count, a proof, totals from records you give, or code written to a specification), which QSI may work out with extra care for up to about 2 minutes. For such an answer, our server replies to your browser at once, finishes the answer afterwards and keeps the result in a private file outside the public web folder until your browser collects it (your browser asks for it every few seconds). The file holds that result: the answer (in Swarm, a careful draft, the review notes or the final answer) with any source links; for QSI’s second check of an answer, its verdict and, if it finds a mistake, the corrected answer and a short list of the mistakes found; or a short error message if the answer could not be finished. With it come technical details, such as which QSI agent answered, whether the web was searched, the kind of task (code, data or maths), whether the answer was cut short or will be checked again and how long it took, and, for a QSI Pro member whose Pro boost could not pay for a full-length Swarm answer, a note saying so and the date the boost refills. The file also holds the hash of your random account number or, if you are not logged in, your hashed IP address (so that no one else can collect it), which step it is for, whether it is finished, and when that step was started and finished. Your message, the conversation, attachments and Memory notes are not stored in it, though the answer itself may repeat details from them. The file is deleted as soon as your browser collects it, otherwise at the first automatic clean-up after about 10 minutes, counted from when QSI started working on it (clean-ups run whenever QSI’s chat or Swarm is used, so usually within a few minutes after that); see also “Careful answers waiting to be collected” in section 6. This also applies in a Temporary chat. While a large message with attachments is being received, our web server and its PHP software may briefly hold it in temporary files, which they delete when the request ends; QSI also deletes any PHP temporary file left behind (for example after a server fault) once it is more than 15 minutes old. (See section 6 for the error log.) |
| Voice input (microphone) | Your voice recording (up to 1 minute), recorded only while the mic button is on, and your chosen voice-input language. | To turn your speech into text in the message box. You can edit it before sending. | No. Our server passes the recording to an AI speech-to-text service QSI uses and returns the text. The temporary upload file is deleted automatically when the request ends. |
| Live voice mode |
|
To let you talk with QSI in real time, with natural replies you can interrupt, to answer time-sensitive questions with up-to-date information, to show things that are easier to read than hear, to make documents you ask for and to talk about files you share. To control cost, voice mode is limited to 3 minutes a day without an account, 15 minutes a day with a free account, and 8 hours a day for the whole site. |
No audio, no transcripts, no web searches, no cards, no documents and no shared files. Our server only gives your browser a short-lived, single-use access code that only QSI’s voice relay can read; the audio never passes through our server, live-voice web searches are run by the AI service itself, cards and document text come from it through the relay to your browser, and the text of files you share goes from your browser through the relay to it. The recent chat text and settings listed above pass through our server to prepare the instructions, as with a normal chat message, and are not saved. When voice mode ends, the transcript, any cards or documents shown on screen and the names (with a short description) of files you shared are saved as normal messages marked “Voice” in your browser’s chat history only. To enforce the daily limits, our server keeps usage counters: see “Rate limiting & security” below. |
| Camera | The photo you take, only after you tap Take photo and your browser asks your permission. The live camera preview stays on your device. On some devices, your phone’s own camera app or photo picker opens instead, and only the photo you choose is used. | To attach a photo to your message. | No. The photo is handled like any other image attachment: resized in your browser and sent to QSI’s AI services with your message. It is not saved in your chat history. |
| Making pictures and photo edits (logged-in members only) |
|
To make the picture or photo edit you ask for; to refuse, before anything is made, pictures and edits that would break the law or our rules; to label every picture as AI-generated, as India’s IT Rules require; and to deal with complaints and lawful requests about pictures made with QSI. To control cost, each member can make up to 10 pictures a day, and QSI Pro members, with boost left, up to 20. A photo edit counts as one of them: free members can make 1 photo edit a day once photo edits are open to all members, and QSI Pro members up to 5 photo edits a day. QSI makes at most 300 pictures a day for everyone together, at most 100 of them photo edits, but QSI Pro members can go past these limits on their Pro boost. |
QSI’s safety check has two steps: a word list on our server, then one of QSI’s AI services, which receives your request (and, for a photo edit, a copy of your photo at most 1,024 pixels on its longest side), checks it and writes the English description (it never goes to the backup services). A request the word list refuses is not sent on. Only the English description, the picture settings, a coded identifier for your account and, for a photo edit, your photo (at most 1,536 pixels on its longest side) go to the third-party AI picture provider (see section 3), which makes the picture. After QSI labels an edited photo, and before your browser can collect it, the same provider’s free safety check also checks it for sexual, violent and self-harm content. Your photo (photo edits): not saved by QSI. QSI’s code never saves the photo you add. Our server checks it and has the edit made while holding it only in its working memory, for a few seconds up to about 2 minutes, and drops it as soon as the edit has been made. While the photo is being received, our web server and its PHP software may briefly hold it in temporary files, which they delete when the request ends; QSI also removes PHP’s copy as soon as the photo has been read, and deletes any PHP temporary file left behind (for example after a server fault) once it is more than 15 minutes old. Your browser keeps the photo you added with the chat, in its own storage on this device (IndexedDB, under The picture: only until your browser collects it. A picture takes from a few seconds to about 2 minutes. Meanwhile your browser checks back with our server, and the finished picture waits in a private file there. It is deleted as soon as your browser collects it; a picture that is never collected is deleted in an automatic clean-up once it is 1 hour old. After that QSI has no copy, so download the pictures you want to keep. Your browser keeps your pictures with the chat, in its own storage on this device (IndexedDB, under A record of each picture request: yes, for 180 days. Unlike chats, our server keeps a record of every picture request, including refused ones, because India’s IT Rules require us to be able to trace AI-generated pictures and deal with complaints. Each record holds: the time; your description (and the earlier description, if you asked for a change); the result of the safety checks; the English description sent to the picture provider; the picture ID; a fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) of the finished picture and of the file the provider returned; technical details such as the picture’s size, how long it took and what it cost; and two coded keys for your account: a hash of your random account number and a keyed hash of your email address, so that a complaint can still be matched to an account after it is deleted. It also records whether you asked in the chat or in Picture mode, and any report you send us about a picture (a report ID, the picture’s ID, the reason you chose and your note). Our Grievance Officer reviews every report and is told about it by a short email (at busy times, several reports in one email) with the report ID, the picture’s ID, the reason, the time and the coded key for your account; that email never contains your note, the picture, its description or your email address. A message typed in the chat that QSI’s safety check finds isn’t a request for a picture or a photo edit is not kept: only a note that a check was made, with the time, whether it was about a picture or a photo, and the two coded keys. For a photo edit, the record also holds: a fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) of your photo as uploaded and as sent; a short visual fingerprint (a 64-bit “perceptual hash”) of your photo and of the edited picture, which helps match copies that were resized or re-saved but can’t be turned back into a picture; the photo’s size; your confirmation; the yes/no results of QSI’s check of the photo (how many people it shows, and whether anyone may be under 18 or a well-known person, is shown with nudity, or whether it shows a document or a news event; QSI does not identify anyone); the kind of change; and the result of the final check of the edited picture. It never holds the picture itself, your photo, your IP address or your email address in readable form. See section 6 for how long each part is kept. |
| Web search | For logged-in members, chat answers and Swarm’s web-search step may use the AI service’s own built-in web search: the AI service decides whether to search and runs the searches itself, using words from your message and the recent conversation (the only location hint QSI gives it is that you are probably in India, never your city or exact location, unless you turn on Memory and it holds your city, or you turned on “Use my city for local answers” in your optional profile: then the AI service may use the city only when your question depends on where you are and you didn’t name a place). Otherwise, a search query based on your message is sent from our server to DuckDuckGo or Wikipedia; for weather in a known city, only the map coordinates of the city are sent to Open-Meteo, not your message. Live voice does not use DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia or Open-Meteo: it uses the AI service’s own web search (see “Live voice mode” above). | To include up-to-date information and source links in the answer. QSI decides by itself when a question needs up-to-date information; it also searches when you ask it to, or when you use the Gamma Link agent. There is no setting to turn web search on or off. | No. Results are shown to you as source links. When the AI service searches, it sends the searches it ran and the addresses of the pages it looked at back to our server with the answer; our server uses them only to show you the source links and does not keep or log them. To keep that search within daily limits and a monthly budget, our server counts how many answers used it (see “Rate limiting & security” below). |
| Running code (the Run button) | When you tap Run on a code block (JavaScript, and Python where QSI offers it), the code runs in your browser, on your device, inside a separate, sandboxed part of QSI’s website that can’t see your QSI account or reach other websites. The code, anything you type in its Input box, and the output all stay in your browser. The first time you run Python, QSI asks before your browser downloads the free Python runtime (Pyodide: about 7 MB, plus about 9 MB the first time your code uses pandas) from jsDelivr (see below); your browser checks those files against fixed fingerprints and usually keeps them, and remembers that you agreed to the download (qsi.v2.pyok). |
So you can try code examples without installing anything. | No. The code, your input and the output are not sent to QSI’s server, to any AI service, or to jsDelivr, and nothing your code makes is kept after you leave the page. |
| Coder mode (logged-in members) | In Coder mode, your message, the recent conversation in that chat, the text of any files you attach and any pictures you attach are sent to QSI’s AI services to answer you. Before sending, your browser checks attached text for things that look like passwords or keys and offers to hide them. Agent mode, which you can turn on inside Coder mode where QSI offers it, works differently and has its own row below. If a paid plan later adds “pro coding answers” to Coder mode itself, those are answered by a specialist coding AI service provider, and this policy will say what is sent where before that is switched on. Your browser remembers whether it has shown you Coder mode’s 18+ note (qsi.v2.code18) and when it last suggested a plan (qsi.v2.codeUpsell). |
To write, fix and explain code with Alpha Core. | No for the content: like other chats (apart from careful answers, see “Chat & Swarm” above), it is held in memory only while your request is answered and is not stored (Agent mode tasks are the exception: see the next row). QSI’s server keeps only counts: under a one-way code made from your account’s e-mail address with QSI’s secret key (it can’t be turned back into your address, and it stops the counts from starting again if an account is deleted and made again), how many code answers you used today, and how many of your Coder mode requests were refused or timed out today; under the hashed network address, how many members on your network used Coder mode today; and site-wide daily counts and a monthly cost total, which identify no one. For QSI Pro members, code answers beyond the free ones of the day use the Pro boost and are counted in its boost counter (see “QSI Pro (optional paid plan)” in this table). A random code for your account (not your email, and not reversible) is sent with the request to the AI service so it can spot misuse. |
| Agent mode (a preview for QSI Pro members, for a limited time, while QSI offers it) |
|
To change, run and fix the code of your project for the task you start, and to show you each step, every change and the result. To control cost, the preview gives each QSI Pro member up to 20 Agent mode preview answers per paid month (up to 5 in the first 7 days of a first paid month), up to 3 tasks a day, and at most 8 answers, 30 steps and 30 minutes per task; it pauses for everyone when its daily limit is reached. Web searches and page reads let Alpha Core check documentation and facts for a task. |
An encrypted copy of the task, for a short time. While a task runs, our server keeps the conversation with the AI processing partner (your task, the file text that was sent, the AI’s replies and the results your browser sent back) in a private file outside the public web folder, encrypted (AES-256-GCM) with a key made for that task. Only your browser holds the key, which it sends with each step, so our server can read the copy only while it handles a step. QSI deletes the copy about an hour after the task ends (when it finishes, when you stop it or when it reaches a limit), and no later than about a day after the task started; these deletions run in QSI’s automatic clean-ups, while QSI is in use. A task record, deleted with the copy: the task’s state, step and answer counts, times and costs, and short codes made from test results and error messages (never your files or your task text), linked to your account by the same one-way code as Coder mode’s counts. While you have an unfinished task, a pointer under that code says which task it is; an empty marker file named with that code stops two tabs from starting a task at the same time. A record of the web pages Agent mode reads: yes, for one year. India’s rules require us to keep logs of how personal data is processed for at least one year, to be able to trace the use of our systems and to deal with abuse complaints, so our server records each web page request that Agent mode sends to a website (including one it then refuses, for example because the website’s robots.txt asks it not to read the page) in a private file outside the public web folder: the time, the one-way code for your account (as for Coder mode’s counts), the website’s name (not the rest of the address), the internet address of the website’s server, whether it worked, how many bytes came back and how long it took. An address that Agent mode refuses without sending anything (for example a private, internal or numeric address, or one that was not in your task, a search result or a page it read) is recorded by a short code for the reason only, without the address. Each web search is recorded too (the time, the one-way code, how long it took and what it cost), without the search words. QSI keeps no copy of a page’s text beyond the task: it sits in the task’s encrypted copy and is deleted with it. QSI also keeps each website’s robots.txt rules (not its pages) for about an hour so it doesn’t ask again. Counts, like Coder mode’s: under that one-way code, how many Agent mode answers you used this paid month and today, how many tasks you started today, how many web searches and page reads you used this paid month and today, how many refused address requests you made today (to spot attempts to reach private addresses), and how many answers you used in the last hour (a task Alpha Core refuses also counts toward Coder mode’s daily refusal count); and site-wide counts of running tasks, of the preview’s spending today and this month, daily counts and a daily summary, which identify no one. See section 6 for how long each is kept. |
| Companions (logged-in members, 18+) | Your messages and voice in companion chats and calls; which companion; daily usage counts; a “companions switched off”, “paused” or “blocked” record if that happens; reports and help requests you choose to send; a request for sexual content involving children, if one is made; the record of your Companions consent (each time you tap “I am 18 or older and I agree” or “Not now”, or switch Companions off); your answer if QSI asks “Are you 18 or older?”. | To make companion replies, apply daily limits, keep companions safe, handle complaints, contact you when you ask for help, protect children, keep companions for adults, and record and prove your consent. | No chat content, except the lines you choose to include in a report you send, and the lines kept in a child-safety report (see the next rows). Daily usage counts and a short record of each companion call: which companion, when and for how long (about 2 days), the switched-off, paused or blocked record (see section 6), counts of how often a helpline card was shown (numbers only), the time of the last refused request for sexual content involving children (on your account; see section 6), and reports you send, with the note you write, the lines you tick and your login email so we can reply (kept on our server for 180 days). Help requests and child-safety reports: see the next two rows. The record of your Companions consent: one line for each tap (“I am 18 or older and I agree”, “Not now”, or switching Companions off in Settings → Companions) with your account ID, the date and time, your choice, the version of the consent text (with a fingerprint of the exact text shown) and the version of this policy, kept permanently as proof of consent, also after you delete your account (see section 6); your current consent is also kept with your account until you switch Companions off or delete your account. Your answer to “Are you 18 or older?” (Yes or No), when you were asked and answered, and what kind of mention led to the question (for example school or board exams), and, once you have answered Yes, how many times that day the automatic safety check suggested that you may be under 18; kept with your account until you delete it. |
| Child-safety reports (Companions) | Only if a member asks a companion for sexual content involving children: those lines and at most the two lines said just before them, the account ID and login email, which companion, whether it was a chat or a call, the date and time, the automatic decisions, and the IP address and browser of that request. Nothing else from the conversation. QSI keeps a request only when the automatic safety check also flagged it and companions were switched off for the account (or, when the check could not run, after a second such request within 24 hours). Never kept for someone who tells a companion about abuse, a worried parent, anyone asking how to keep a child safe or how to report abuse, or a member under 18. | To protect children. A person at QSI reviews each report and decides whether to report it to Indian authorities (for example on cybercrime.gov.in or to the police); nothing is reported automatically, because an automatic decision can be wrong. | Yes, privately (not on the website), until a person at QSI has reviewed it; if it is reported to the authorities, as long as they or the law require; otherwise deleted after the review (see section 6). It is kept even if the account is deleted. The person at QSI who reviews it gets a short email with the report number only, never the lines or the account details. |
| Help requests (“Ask QSI to help me”) | Only if you tap “Ask QSI to help me” on a helpline or legal-help card and tick the box: what you need (a call back, help reporting to the police or a helpline, free legal aid, or something else), your phone number or email (your login email only if you tick “Use my login email”), the best time to contact you, your language, which companion’s card you used, when you asked, your account ID (so that only you can withdraw it), and the consent line you agreed to and its version. Never the conversation. | So that someone from QSI can contact you about what you asked for. QSI contacts the police or a helpline for you only if you ask. It is never used for marketing and never shared with a companion or with Memory. | Yes, privately (not on the website), until 90 days after the request is closed, or deleted at once if you withdraw it, ask us to or delete your QSI account (see section 6). You can withdraw it from the confirmation, in Settings → Companions, or by emailing hello@quantumsi.in with your request number. The person at QSI who handles it gets a short email with the request number and the time promised, never your contact details or what you need. |
| Chat history in your browser | Your past chats (up to 50 chats, about 2 MB) in your browser’s local storage under qsi.v2.chats, and your settings (theme, read-aloud, voice, voice-input language, live-voice captions and speed, sidebar) under qsi.v2.settings. Your browser also remembers when QSI last suggested adding it to your home screen, and whether you added it (qsi.v2.a2hs), so the suggestion comes at most once a week and stops once QSI is added. Only the names of attached files are saved in your history, not the files, photos or their text. Temporary chats are not saved there, nor are your questions about what QSI remembers about you and their answers. Live voice conversations are saved there as text transcripts marked “Voice”, with any cards or documents shown on screen and the names of files you shared in voice (with a short description, never their text), never as audio. Agent mode keeps its project files in a separate store in your browser (see “Agent mode” above). |
So you can come back to your chats on the same device and browser. | No. It stays on your device and is never uploaded as a whole. Only the current message and its recent context are sent with each request. Delete one chat, or all of them under Settings → “Clear all” (this also removes the Agent mode tasks of those chats from your browser). Clearing your browser data also removes it. |
| Memory (logged-in members who turn it on) |
|
So QSI can use what you told it in earlier chats (what to call you, your city, languages, work or studies and how you like answers) and you don’t have to repeat it. Memory is off until you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time. | No, except the on/off record and daily usage counts. The notes stay in your browser; our server never stores them and doesn’t log your messages, notes or the suggested changes. To keep note-writing within daily limits and a monthly budget, our server counts how many updates each account and each network made today, and keeps site-wide daily counts and a monthly cost total, which identify no one. |
| Temporary chat (everyone) | The same as Chat & Swarm (and live voice, if you use it there): your messages and the recent conversation of that chat are sent to answer you. A Temporary chat doesn’t send or change Memory notes, and Agent mode isn’t available in it. | For a chat you don’t want kept, for example on a shared device. | No, except a careful answer waiting to be collected. It isn’t saved in your browser’s chat history either, and it ends when you close it, start another chat or reload the page. Pictures you make in it are still recorded for 180 days (see “Making pictures” above), and a careful answer waits on our server for your browser to collect it, as in any chat (see “Chat & Swarm” above). |
| Downloaded files (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel) | The text of the answer or document you choose to download, and its title. | To give you a copy you can keep, print or share. |
No. Files are made on your device, in your browser, and saved straight to your device. They are not sent to QSI’s server or to anyone else. QSI adds no name, logo or tracking to them; the only file information it sets is the title. If you tap Share, the file goes to the app you pick, under that app’s own policies. If you choose Print, your browser’s own print feature makes the PDF or prints it, and it may add its own header or footer (such as the page address and date) and put the browser’s name in the PDF’s properties. |
| Read aloud | The answer text you choose to hear, or every new answer if auto-read is on. Markdown, links and code are removed first. Also sent: your chosen voice and the detected language. | To read answers aloud in a natural voice. |
With a QSI natural voice (Rads or Mayur), the text is sent to an AI text-to-speech service QSI uses. To save cost, the resulting audio is cached on our server for up to 24 hours, in a temporary file named by a code computed from the voice, language and text. It contains no IP address or other identifier, but it is a spoken copy of the answer, so it contains whatever the answer said. If you choose Browser voice, or if the QSI voice is unavailable, your browser’s or operating system’s speech feature is used instead, and QSI’s server does not receive the text. Some browsers use online voices that send the text to the browser maker (for example Google or Microsoft) under its own policies. |
| Account and login (optional) |
|
To let you log in without a password, keep you logged in, give members higher daily limits, and prevent abuse. You log in only if you choose to, after ticking the 18+ and Privacy Policy box. |
Yes, in private files on our server, outside the public web folder. Your chats are still not stored and are not linked to your account, apart from the record of each picture request (see “Making pictures and photo edits” above), Agent mode’s short-lived, encrypted task copy (see “Agent mode” above), a careful answer while it waits for your browser to collect it, kept with the hash of your random account number (see “Chat & Swarm” above), and a child-safety report from Companions (see “Child-safety reports (Companions)” above). Login-code emails are sent through our host’s mail server. From these files our server also keeps a private member list (a spreadsheet file in the same private folder) so we can run and support QSI: each member’s email address, name, sign-up and last-login dates, login method, and today’s usage counts (chat messages, Swarm runs, messages with attachments, pictures and live-voice minutes). It never contains chats. It is updated when members sign up or log in and every few minutes while QSI is in use, and your row is removed when you delete your account. Your account stays until you delete it (Settings → Account → Manage → Delete account) or ask us to. Your registration data is kept for 180 days after you close your account. See “Your account” in section 6 for what that record holds. Login sessions end 30 days after you last used QSI while logged in, or when you log out. Login codes expire after 10 minutes. |
| Your profile (optional, logged-in members) |
|
To greet you by name and make answers more personal. Your name and preferred language are added to the instructions sent with your chat, Swarm, Coder mode, Agent mode and live-voice messages to QSI’s AI services (see section 3), so answers can use your name and, when it isn’t clear which language you want, your language. They are never sent to the backup AI services: QSI takes them out of any request it has to send there. In live voice, your preferred language is added only while Settings → “Language (voice input & live voice)” is on Auto-detect; a language you chose there is used instead. Your city and state are added only while “Use my city for local answers” is on, for questions such as weather or nearby places; while it is off, they are kept only so you can turn it on without typing them again, and are used for nothing else. A profile is never required: QSI works the same without one, and you add one only if you choose to. |
Yes, in your account’s file on our server, outside the public web folder (unlike Memory notes, which stay in your browser). It is not in our member list and is never shown to anyone else. If a Memory note gives another name or language, QSI uses the name (and the language, if you chose one) in your profile. You can change or delete it at any time in your account (Settings → Account → Manage → Your profile). Deleting your account deletes it too. |
| QSI Pro (optional paid plan) |
|
To sell and provide QSI Pro: take the monthly payment you authorised, switch Pro on and off, stop renewals when you cancel, handle refunds and payment problems, issue GST tax invoices and keep the accounts that tax law requires. |
Yes, in private files on our server, outside the public web folder, linked to your account’s ID rather than your email address. We also keep a private list of our GST invoices and credit notes (number, date, state, GSTIN and business name if given, amounts; for a purchase from outside India, the country and the name you gave) for our accountant and tax returns. Payment and invoice records are kept for about 8 years (GST law: 72 months from the due date of the annual return for the year of the payment), even if you delete your account. Deleting your account first stops auto-renew. The boost counter starts again each paid month. |
| Earlier waitlist (closed) |
|
The waitlist is closed: QSI no longer offers it, its sign-up form has been removed from the site and it accepts no new sign-ups. If you joined earlier (only by ticking the consent box), we keep your entry to tell you if the planned paid feature it was for opens, and as a record of your consent. | Yes, in a private file on our server. When you joined, we also sent two emails: a notification to our own inbox (your email, source, time and IP address) and a confirmation to you. That feature is not available, and no payment was taken. |
| Rate limiting & security |
|
To stop abuse and keep the free service running for everyone. | Yes, in temporary files on the server. Old request times are ignored after 60 seconds (chat, read-aloud), 10 minutes (attachments, live-voice starts, login checks and requests) or one hour (voice input, waitlist, login attempts), and are removed when you next make a request. The per-person counts (chat messages, Swarm runs, messages with attachments and new accounts per day, read-aloud characters per hour, live-voice seconds per day) start again at each new hour or day (UTC). The files themselves stay until our host clears its temporary storage. Picture counts are kept in private files outside the public web folder and deleted about 2 days after the day they count (the 30-day photo-edit counts about a month after they were last used); the monthly picture cost total after about 13 months. Web search counts are also kept in private files outside the public web folder and deleted about 2 days after the day they count; the site-wide totals and summaries after about 13 months. A note that photo edits or picture making are paused or turned off is deleted by the automatic clean-up once the pause has ended, or when we clear it after a review. |
| Older contact and deletion-request forms |
|
To answer contact messages and deletion requests. These forms come from the previous version of the site. They are no longer linked from QSI, but they still work on our server and may hold records from before. | Yes, in files on our server. Each submission is also emailed to hello@quantumsi.in. To have any such record deleted, email privacy@quantumsi.in. |
| Hosting / server logs | Standard web server logs kept by our host, Hostinger: IP address, browser user agent and the page or file requested. QSI’s own error log records technical failures. | To deliver the website and to find and fix problems. | Hostinger’s logs are kept under Hostinger’s policies. QSI’s error log is described in section 6. |
| jsDelivr | Your IP address and browser details, when your browser downloads open-source libraries from jsDelivr: marked and DOMPurify on every visit; pdf.js (with its font and character-map files) or mammoth, only when you attach a PDF or Word file, or share one in live voice; and the document-making libraries html2canvas, JSZip and PptxGenJS, only when you download an answer or a document as a PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel file; JSZip also when you attach an Excel or PowerPoint file in a chat or share one in live voice, or download code as a project (.zip); and Pyodide (Python for the Run button and Agent mode) with the numpy and pandas packages, only when you run Python code, or start an Agent mode task that does, and agree to the one-time download. No referrer is sent. Your documents and the files you download are not sent to jsDelivr. | To display formatted answers safely, to read attached documents in your browser (in chats and in live voice), and to make downloadable files on your device. | No. This goes directly from your browser to jsDelivr. |
| Browser permissions | Your browser’s microphone and camera permission for quantumsi.in. | Your browser asks before QSI can use the microphone or camera. | Stored by your browser, not by us. You can revoke it at any time in your browser’s site settings. |
Whatever you type, say or attach in a chat is processed. If your message or attachments contain personal data, about you or anyone else, that data goes to the AI provider along with the rest of the message. Please read section 10.
Labels on pictures
Every picture made with QSI, including an edited photo, is marked as AI-generated: a small “AI-generated” label is drawn into one corner of the picture itself, a small “AI-generated” badge is shown next to it on the page, and the file carries a hidden tag (metadata) saying that it is AI-generated (for an edited photo, that it was edited with AI from a photo), with its unique picture ID, the date it was made and “quantumsi.in” as the service. The file contains no name, email address, account number, IP address or description; the picture ID links it to QSI’s record of the request. India’s IT Rules require the label and the identifier, so please don’t remove them (see our Terms). The AI provider that makes the picture also puts its own invisible watermark into it, which QSI can’t remove; the provider’s tools may use it to show which provider made the picture.
4. Processing outside India
Several of our providers are based outside India, and your data may be processed in other countries. The companies that run QSI’s AI services, and the backup AI routing service, are US companies and may process chat content in the United States. The exception is Agent mode: the AI processing partner that works on Agent mode tasks is a company in Singapore that processes them in Singapore and may share them with its affiliates to provide its service. The model hosts the backup service uses may be in other countries. jsDelivr is based in England and Wales, and its CDN partners operate worldwide. So your chat messages are likely to be processed outside India. Voice recordings, read-aloud text, photos, document text and live-voice audio, transcripts and web searches are processed by QSI’s AI services and may be processed in the United States. Live-voice audio also passes through QSI’s voice relay on Cloudflare’s worldwide network. We use your chat content only to answer the messages you choose to send. Picture requests, and photos you add for an edit, are checked by one of QSI’s AI services, and pictures and photo edits are made by a third-party AI picture provider; both are US companies and may process them in the United States. If you log in with Google, Google may process your sign-in data in the United States and other countries. Code you run with the Run button, and the code Agent mode runs, is processed only on your device. Memory notes are kept only in your browser; the notes sent with a message, and the messages sent to write them, are processed by QSI’s AI services and may be processed in the United States.
5. What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your personal data.
- We show no ads and do no targeted advertising.
- We set no cookies except one login cookie, and only if you log in. It holds a random code that keeps you logged in and is never used for tracking or advertising. Razorpay’s payment window, which opens only when you buy QSI Pro, may set Razorpay’s own cookies (see section 3).
- We use no analytics or tracking tools, such as Google Analytics.
- Accounts are optional. Most features work without one; logging in raises your daily limits and adds a few members-only features, such as making pictures. We never ask for a password.
- Our server does not store your chat messages, whether or not you are logged in, and does not link chats to your account, apart from the exceptions below. It does not log your prompts or the answers, and it never logs our API keys. There are four exceptions: picture requests, which QSI records for 180 days because India’s IT Rules require it (see “Making pictures” in section 2), Agent mode tasks, of which our server keeps an encrypted copy, linked to your account by a one-way code, until about an hour after the task ends and no later than about a day after it started (see “Agent mode” in section 2), careful answers (answers to questions that need exact working; see “Chat & Swarm” in section 2), which our server keeps with the hash of your random account number or, if you are not logged in, your hashed IP address, each deleted as soon as your browser collects it, otherwise at the first automatic clean-up after about 10 minutes, counted from when QSI started working on it (clean-ups run whenever QSI’s chat or Swarm is used, so usually within a few minutes after that), and a request to a companion for sexual content involving children, which QSI keeps for review (see Child-safety reports in section 2). A report you send us about a companion keeps the lines you choose to include in it (see “Companions” in section 2). For Memory, it keeps only a record that you turned Memory on or off, never the notes.
- Our server does not store your Memory notes: they stay encrypted in your browser. We never use them for ads or for anything other than your own answers.
- We use your microphone or camera only when you tap the mic, Voice mode or Take photo button, and only after your browser asks your permission. In voice mode the microphone stays on only while the voice screen is open and switches off as soon as you end it. Nothing is recorded in the background.
- We do not upload your original files. Documents are read in your browser and only their text is sent, in chats and in live voice. Photos are resized in your browser first.
- We do not make your downloaded files on our server. PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files are made in your browser and are never uploaded.
- Our server does not store your voice recordings, photos or document text (apart from the text of project files in an Agent mode task’s encrypted copy, see above).
- Our server does not keep the pictures you make, or the photos you add for an edit: a finished picture waits only until your browser collects it and is then deleted; one that is never collected is deleted in an automatic clean-up once it is 1 hour old.
- In live voice mode, your audio never passes through our server: it goes from your browser through QSI’s voice relay to QSI’s AI services.
- We do not run your code on our servers: the Run button, and Agent mode, run it in your browser, on your device, with no access to other websites or to QSI. (Agent mode’s web search and web page reading are done by our server, not by your code: see “Agent mode” in section 2.)
6. How long data is kept
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Chats on QSI’s server | Not stored, except picture requests (see “Picture request records” below), Agent mode tasks (see “Agent mode task copy” below), careful answers waiting for your browser to collect them (see “Careful answers waiting to be collected” below), child-safety reports from Companions (see “Child-safety reports” below) and the lines you include in a report you send about a companion (see “Companion reports” below). They are held in memory while your request is being answered (a large request may briefly sit in temporary files of our web server and its PHP software, which they delete when the request ends; QSI deletes any PHP temporary file left behind after a server fault once it is more than 15 minutes old). |
| Careful answers waiting to be collected (on QSI’s server) | Each one is deleted as soon as your browser collects it, otherwise at the first automatic clean-up after about 10 minutes, counted from when QSI started working on it (clean-ups run whenever QSI’s chat or Swarm is used, so usually within a few minutes after that). An answer that is finished more than 10 minutes after QSI started working on it is not kept, and QSI keeps no copy once the file is deleted. What the file holds: see “Chat & Swarm” in section 2. |
| Voice recordings on QSI’s server | Not stored. The temporary upload file is deleted automatically at the end of the request. |
| Live voice on QSI’s server | Audio, transcripts, web searches, cards, document text and the text of files you share are never received or stored. The temporary access code is not saved or logged. For the usage counters, see “Rate-limiting data” below. |
| Photos and document text on QSI’s server | Not stored. They are held in memory while your request is being answered (a large upload may briefly sit in temporary files of our web server and its PHP software, which they delete when the request ends; QSI deletes any PHP temporary file left behind after a server fault once it is more than 15 minutes old). In your browser, they are kept in memory only, never saved to storage, until you remove them, delete the chat or reload or close the page (so that Retry can reuse them). Only file names are saved in your chat history. (Agent mode is different: it saves the text files of its project, including text files attached to the task’s message, in your browser and, while a task runs, in its encrypted copy on our server; see the Agent mode rows below.) |
| Agent mode task copy on QSI’s server | About an hour after the task ends, and no later than about a day after it started. The clean-ups that delete it run while QSI is in use. The task record is deleted with it. |
| Agent mode web page and web search records on QSI’s server | One year after the day of the request, then deleted. The robots.txt rules it keeps for re-use are deleted after about an hour of use, and by a clean-up within a day. |
| Agent mode in your browser | Until you delete the chat the task belongs to, use Settings → “Clear all”, log out and choose to remove QSI’s data from this device, delete your account or clear your browser data. Of the tasks that have ended, the newest 60 are kept, and of the zips you added to start tasks, the newest 10; an unfinished task’s working copy and table of hidden values are removed after 2 days. |
| Agent mode counts | About 2 days after the day they count (the preview’s count for your paid month: about 60 days; the last hour’s count: about a day). The web search and page read counts and the count of refused addresses: about 2 days after the day they count, the paid-month ones about 60 days. The pointer to an unfinished task goes when the task ends; the empty marker file about 2 days after you last started or continued a task. The site-wide daily summaries and monthly cost totals, which identify no one, about 13 months. |
| Downloaded files | Not received or stored by QSI. They are made in your browser and saved on your device, where you control them. |
| Read-aloud audio cache | Up to 24 hours. After that it is no longer used and is deleted during later automatic clean-ups. It contains no identifiers. |
| Pictures on QSI’s server | Deleted as soon as your browser collects the finished picture. A picture that is never collected is deleted in a later automatic clean-up once it is 1 hour old. QSI keeps no copy after that. |
| Photos you add for an edit | QSI’s server: not saved; held in working memory only while the photo is checked and the edit is made (our web server and its PHP software may briefly hold the upload in temporary files, which they delete when the request ends; QSI removes PHP’s copy as soon as the photo has been read, and deletes any PHP temporary file left behind once it is more than 15 minutes old). AI providers: as for other requests (up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, longer if flagged; see section 3). Your browser: until you delete the chat or use Settings → “Clear all”. |
| Pauses and blocks on picture making | Photo edits paused after several refused requests: 7 days (30 days after many in 30 days). Picture making paused after a request involving the sexual abuse of children: 30 days, while we review it. Picture making turned off after a suspected child-safety incident: until we have reviewed it. Each note is deleted once it has ended (by the automatic clean-up) or when we clear it. |
| Pictures in your browser | Until you delete the chat they belong to, use Settings → “Clear all”, or clear your browser data. Pictures you download stay on your device until you delete them. |
| Picture request records | 180 days from each request, even if you delete your account in the meantime, then deleted during later automatic clean-ups. Records linked to a complaint or a legal order may be kept longer: for 180 days from when we act on it, or as long as a court or authority requires. |
| Web search usage counts | About 2 days after the day they count. The site-wide daily summaries and monthly cost totals, which identify no one, about 13 months. |
| Coder mode usage counts | About 2 days after the day they count (monthly pro coding answer counts, when a paid plan has them: about 40 days). The site-wide daily summaries and monthly cost totals, which identify no one, about 13 months. |
| Picture report emails | In our Grievance Officer’s mailbox while the report is handled, and deleted at the latest when the report’s record is deleted (180 days from the report, or longer if it is linked to a complaint or a legal order). They pass through our host’s mail server under Hostinger’s policies. At busy times a report waits for the next email: until then QSI’s server keeps its report ID and reason in a short list, which is emptied when that email is sent. |
| Companion usage counts | About 2 days; totals that identify no one, about 13 months. |
| Companions switched off or paused | Until reviewed, or until you delete your account. |
| Companion reports | Kept on our server for 180 days, then deleted unless the law requires us to keep them. |
| The time of the last refused request for sexual content involving children (on your account) | Only the time, never the request. It is used to see whether a second such request follows within 24 hours. It stays on your account until a person at QSI clears it after a review, or until you delete your account. |
| Companions blocked because of a request for sexual content involving children | As long as the account exists. If a person at QSI reviews the child-safety report and finds it was a mistake, the block is removed at once (unless another report for the same account is still kept). Deleting the account deletes the block; the report itself is kept (see the next row). |
| Child-safety reports (a request to a companion for sexual content involving children) | Until a person at QSI has reviewed it. If it is reported to the authorities, as long as they or the law require; otherwise deleted after the review. Kept even if the account is deleted. |
| Help requests (“Ask QSI to help me”) | 90 days after the request is closed, or deleted at once if you withdraw it, ask us to or delete your QSI account (withdraw it in Settings → Companions or by emailing hello@quantumsi.in with your request number). |
| Companions consent records | Kept permanently, also after you delete your account, as proof of your consent. Each record holds only your account ID, the date and time, your choice (“I am 18 or older and I agree”, “Not now”, or switching Companions off), the version of the consent text (with a fingerprint of the text shown) and the version of this policy (or, if saving your agreement failed, a note saying so). Your current consent is also kept with your account until you switch Companions off or delete your account. |
| Your answer to “Are you 18 or older?” (Companions) | With your account, until you delete it. |
| Picture usage counts | About 2 days after the day they count. The site-wide monthly picture cost total, which identifies no one, about 13 months. |
| Chat history in your browser | Until you delete it, or clear your browser data. |
| Memory notes in your browser | Until you delete them (one by one, or with “Delete all notes everywhere”), turn Memory off, log out and choose to remove them, delete your account or clear your browser data. Turning Memory off, deleting all notes or deleting your account changes or removes your key, so notes left in any browser can no longer be read. After you log out without removing them, they stay locked in that browser and can be read again only when you log in. |
| Memory on/off record | With your account, until you delete it. |
| Memory usage counts | About 2 days after the day they count. The site-wide daily summaries and monthly cost totals, which identify no one, about 13 months. |
| Temporary chats | Not saved in your browser; they end when you close them or reload the page. On QSI’s server, a careful answer is kept as in other chats (see “Careful answers waiting to be collected” above). At QSI’s AI services, as for other chats (see “Data at QSI’s AI services” below). |
| Your account | Until you delete it (Settings → Account → Manage → Delete account) or ask us to. Deleting it removes your account record, its login sessions and any pending login code straight away, and your row in our private member list. Your registration data is kept for 180 days after you close your account. If you ask us to close your account (write to privacy@quantumsi.in from the email address of your account), QSI closes it the same way, so the same applies. That sealed record holds only your email address, when your account was created, how it was created (Google or an email code), your latest confirmation that you are 18 or older and agree to this policy (with its version and time), and when you closed the account. It is kept in a private file outside the public web folder, can’t be used to log in or for any QSI feature, is used only to answer a legal request, and is deleted in an automatic clean-up once the 180 days are over. We can’t erase it sooner, but you can ask us what it holds. If you sign up again with the same email address, you get a new account. Picture request records are not deleted with your account: each is kept for 180 days from the request (see “Picture request records” above). Nor are the records of your Companions consent and any child-safety report (see above). |
| Your profile (optional) | Until you change or delete it, or delete your account. |
| Login sessions and the login cookie | 30 days after you last used QSI while logged in (each day of use extends it), or until you log out or delete your account. |
| Login codes | A code works for 10 minutes and is cancelled after 5 wrong tries or once used. The times when codes were sent to an address and when wrong codes were entered for it are kept for 24 hours, then deleted during later automatic clean-ups. |
| Login-code emails | In your mailbox until you delete them. They pass through our host’s mail server under Hostinger’s policies. |
| QSI Pro payment and invoice records | About 8 years (GST law: 72 months from the due date of the annual return for the year of the payment), even if you delete your account. QSI’s record of each payment notification from Razorpay (IDs, statuses and times, and for a refund or chargeback its amount): about 30 days. |
| QSI Pro boost counter | Starts again with each paid month; one small file per paying account. It is kept with the payment records. |
| Data at QSI’s AI services | Chats, Swarm and Coder mode requests, attachments, voice input, read-aloud text, Memory notes and note requests, and picture requests and photos you add for an edit (at the AI service that checks them, and at the picture provider, which may also keep the pictures it makes): up to 30 days, or longer only if the law or a safety review requires it (section 3). Agent mode tasks, at the AI processing partner that works on them: deleted within 30 days, under its written commitment to QSI. Live voice: under the AI service’s terms, as for its other requests. The backup AI routing service and its model hosts: under their own policies. Deleting a Memory note doesn’t recall copies already sent with a message. |
| QSI error log | Records only technical failures: which provider or model failed and the error message it returned. It does not record your messages, picture descriptions, photos or pictures, the answers, transcripts, read-aloud text, document text, images or recordings. It has no automatic deletion schedule; we clear it manually. It never records login codes, login tokens, cookies or email addresses (if a login email can’t be sent, it records only a short code computed from the address). For Agent mode it also records a line with numbers only when a task ends (steps, answers used, cost and how it ended) and a daily summary, with no account, task text or file text. |
| Rate-limiting data | Old request times are ignored after 60 seconds (chat, read-aloud), 10 minutes (attachments, live-voice starts, login checks and requests) or one hour (voice input, waitlist, login attempts), and removed when you next make a request. The per-person counts (chat messages, Swarm runs, messages with attachments and new accounts per day, read-aloud characters per hour, live-voice seconds per day) start again at each new hour or day (UTC). The temporary files, with your hashed IP address (chat, voice, attachments, live voice, login) or, if you are logged in, the hash of your account number, or your IP address (waitlist), and your last request times or counts, stay until our host clears its temporary storage. The site-wide counters, including the daily read-aloud character count, do not identify anyone; the site-wide live-voice list holds your hashed IP address (and, if you are logged in, the hash of your account number) only while your voice session is open. |
| Older contact and deletion-request records | Until we delete them, or until you ask us to. The same applies to the copies emailed to our inbox. |
| Earlier waitlist (closed) | It accepts no new sign-ups. Existing entries are kept until you ask us to remove you, or until we no longer need them to tell you about the planned feature, whichever comes first. The same applies to the notification emails in our inbox. |
| Hostinger server logs | Under Hostinger’s policies. We have not configured these. |
| Search and CDN providers | Under their own policies (see section 3). |
If the law requires us to keep certain data for longer, we will keep only what is required, for only as long as it is required.
7. How we protect data
The measures we actually use:
- The site is served over HTTPS, so data between your browser and our server is encrypted in transit.
- Our API keys are kept outside the public web folder, and are never logged or sent to your browser.
- Passwordless login. We never ask for or store a password. Login codes are stored only as a keyed hash, expire after 10 minutes and are cancelled after 5 wrong tries; after 15 wrong codes for one address within 24 hours, email login for that address pauses. Google logins are checked against Google’s published signing keys.
- The login cookie is HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Lax and is sent only to QSI’s own API. Our server stores only a one-way hash of it.
- Account files, the sealed registration records of closed accounts and the Companions consent records are kept outside the public web folder and cannot be opened from the web.
- For live voice, your browser receives only a temporary access code that expires within a few minutes, never our API key, and the connections through QSI’s voice relay are encrypted (WSS).
- Private files cannot be opened from the web, including the waitlist file, the error log and the server code library.
- Rate limiting blocks automated abuse. For chats, voice and attachments, your IP address is stored as a SHA-1 hash rather than in plain text. This is not anonymous, because the hash can be matched back to the address.
- AI answers are cleaned (with DOMPurify) before they are shown, to block harmful code.
- Memory: notes are encrypted in your browser (AES-GCM) with a key our server gives only to your logged-in browser; the key changes when you turn Memory off or delete all notes, and a note sent with a message is used only if it carries our server’s signature. This protects notes left on a shared device after you log out, but not against someone using your browser while you are logged in, or malware on your device. A link in an answer that contains words from your notes is shown as plain text.
- Uploaded recordings and images are checked for type and size before they are passed on. Our server never saves uploaded images or documents (Agent mode’s task copy, which can hold the text of project files, is encrypted: see below), and never logs transcripts, read-aloud text or document text.
- Agent mode: the task copy on our server is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) with a key made for each task that only your browser holds, so it can be read only while your browser sends a step, and the task record is signed so it can’t be changed unnoticed. Your browser replaces values that look like passwords or keys before anything is sent, and never reads files whose names suggest secrets. The code runs only in your browser’s sandbox, with no internet access and no access to QSI or your account.
- Pictures: finished pictures waiting to be collected and picture request records are kept in private files outside the public web folder that only our server can read. A finished picture can be collected only once, and only by the logged-in member who asked for it. Picture request records identify accounts only by coded keys. Photos you add for an edit are never saved by QSI’s code; our server checks their type, size and shape and removes hidden details such as the location before passing them on.
- Careful answers: a careful answer waiting to be collected is kept in a private file outside the public web folder that only our server can read. It can be collected only with the random ticket our server gave the browser that asked for it, and only by the same account or, if you are not logged in, from the same IP address (for IPv6, the same network).
To be clear, the waitlist file, the account files, the sealed registration records of closed accounts, the Companions consent records and careful answers waiting to be collected are not encrypted on disk. They are protected by being inaccessible from the web and by our hosting account’s access controls. No system is completely secure. If a personal data breach affects you, we will tell you, and we will inform the Data Protection Board of India when the law requires it.
8. Your rights
The DPDP Act and Rules give you the rights below. The provisions on these rights, and the Board’s complaint process for them, are expected to take effect in May 2027. We already honour these requests now, as our own commitment. You can:
- Access: get a summary of the personal data we hold about you, what we do with it, and who we have shared it with (see also section 3).
- Correct, complete, update or erase your personal data. You can change or delete your optional profile yourself, in your account.
- Withdraw consent at any time. For the waitlist (now closed), if you joined it earlier, email privacy@quantumsi.in from the address you signed up with and we will remove your entry. For your account, delete it at any time under Settings → Account → Manage → Delete account; this also withdraws the consent you gave when logging in. For Memory, turn it off in Settings → Memory; this also makes your notes unreadable in every browser. For Companions, switch them off in Settings → Companions; they stop at once (the record of your consent and of its withdrawal is kept as proof). For chats, you can stop at any time: our server keeps no chats (picture requests for 180 days, an Agent mode task’s encrypted copy only until about an hour after the task ends, a careful answer, deleted as soon as your browser collects it, otherwise at the first automatic clean-up after about 10 minutes, counted from when QSI started working on it (clean-ups run whenever QSI’s chat or Swarm is used, so usually within a few minutes after that), and a child-safety report from Companions until it has been reviewed, or longer if it is reported to the authorities), and you can delete your chat history, with the Agent mode tasks saved in your browser, under Settings → “Clear all”. Withdrawing consent doesn’t affect anything done before you withdrew it.
- Have your grievance heard: complain to us and get a response.
- Nominate someone to exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to do so yourself.
How to use your rights
Email privacy@quantumsi.in and tell us what you want. For account or waitlist requests, please write from the email address you used. That address is how we find your account or entry and confirm the request is yours. We may ask for more information if we need to confirm who you are.
We acknowledge every grievance within 24 hours and resolve it within 7 days, as section 12A of our Terms says. That is well inside the 90-day limit that the DPDP Rules will set once they take effect.
About chats: we don’t keep your chats (an Agent mode task’s copy only while the task runs and for about an hour after, encrypted with a key only your browser holds), so we can’t retrieve, show or delete them for you. Our server’s copy of a careful answer is deleted as soon as your browser collects it, otherwise at the first automatic clean-up after about 10 minutes, counted from when QSI started working on it (clean-ups run whenever QSI’s chat or Swarm is used, so usually within a few minutes after that). A child-safety report from Companions is the exception: it is kept as described under Child-safety reports in section 2, even if the account is deleted. You control your chat history in your browser: delete one chat, or all of them with Settings → “Clear all”; this also removes the Agent mode tasks of those chats from your browser. Copies held by AI providers are covered by their policies (see section 3).
About Memory: you can see, correct, download and erase all your Memory notes yourself in Settings → Memory; we can’t see them. Notes already sent to QSI’s AI services as part of a message are kept by them like other chats, for up to 30 days (see section 3). On request, we can tell you what the on/off record on our server holds.
About pictures: we don’t keep your pictures once your browser has collected them, or the photos you add for an edit, so we can’t send you a copy later. If you add a photo that shows other people, you share their personal data with QSI and its providers: only do so with their agreement, and never add photos that show anyone undressed. We keep the picture request records described in section 2 for 180 days because India’s IT Rules require it, so we can’t erase them sooner, even if you delete your account; you can still ask us what they hold about you. Complaints about a picture made with QSI, for example one that shows you, go to our Grievance Officer, Mr. Mukesh Padole, at grievance@quantumsi.in (see also our Terms), who acknowledges them within 24 hours and resolves them within 7 days. Reports you send with “Report this picture” go to the Grievance Officer too.
Complaining to the Data Protection Board
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your grievance, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India once its complaint process for these rights takes effect; the Board will publish how to file a complaint on its official website. Under the DPDP Act, you will need to raise your grievance with us first.
Language

QSI is not intended for anyone under 18. Under the DPDP Act, processing a child’s personal data requires verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian. QSI has no way to obtain or verify that consent. So if you are under 18, please do not use QSI. When you log in, you must confirm that you are 18 or older. We record that confirmation but cannot verify it. QSI does not ask your age anywhere else, except in Companions: before you first use them you confirm that you are 18 or older, and a companion chat may ask “Are you 18 or older?” (see below). The waitlist form (now closed) did not ask your age.
Companions are for adults. If you tell a companion you’re under 18, companions are switched off for your account. If something you say only suggests it (for example school or board exams), QSI first asks whether you are 18 or older; if you answer No, companions are switched off, and so they are if the automatic safety check again suggests that you are under 18 after you answered Yes. We keep only that fact, your answer and that day’s count of such suggestions, and use them only for Companions.
QSI does not make pictures of children, and does not edit photos that show anyone who is, or may be, under 18: QSI’s safety check (by one of QSI’s AI services) looks at each photo before anything is made and refuses such photos.
If you believe someone under 18 joined the waitlist or has created an account, email privacy@quantumsi.in and we will delete the entry or account. We do not track, monitor the behaviour of, or target advertising at anyone, including children.
Memory is only for logged-in members. If you tell QSI you are under 18, in a chat or in a note you type, QSI turns Memory off and deletes its notes, and records only when that happened. QSI is designed not to save a school class or standard in Memory.
10. AI answers and sensitive information
Answers are generated by AI and may be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Check important information before relying on it, especially for medical, legal, financial or safety matters.
Companions aren’t doctors or therapists. Please don’t rely on them for health, legal or money decisions.
Please don’t share sensitive personal data in chats, such as Aadhaar or PAN numbers, bank or card details, passwords, health information, or other people’s private details. Anything you type is sent to the AI services described above.
Memory is designed not to save ID numbers, passwords, PINs or OTPs, bank, card or UPI details, phone numbers, email or home addresses, and refuses them when it recognises them. It saves health, religion, caste, political, sexual, money or legal details only if you clearly ask it to and then confirm, and doesn’t save such details about other people.
This includes photos and documents: don’t attach or share images or files that show Aadhaar or PAN cards, bank statements, medical reports or other people’s private details, and don’t speak such details into the microphone.
11. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy when QSI or its providers change, or when the law changes. The date and version number at the top will show the latest update. If we make a significant change that affects account holders or people on the waitlist, such as a new use of your email address, we will email you. We will ask for fresh consent where the law requires it.
This is Version 2.19. When you log in, we record the version of this policy you agreed to. If the way photo edits work has changed since the version you agreed to (the last such change was in Version 2.11), QSI asks you to accept the current one before your next photo edit, and records that version and the time; chat, voice, Memory, Agent mode and new pictures don’t need it. When you turn on Memory, QSI records the version of this policy you agreed to with it. When you agree to Companions, QSI records the version of this policy with your consent. Waitlist entries record the version each person agreed to when joining.
