Keysa Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

Keysa is an Android keyboard with an AI box above the keys. It is private by default: AI is off in every app until you turn it on.

What stays on your phone

• Everything you type into other apps with the keys. The keyboard never sends it anywhere.
• Your settings: your language, the languages you speak to the mic, your recently used emojis, and the list of apps where you turned AI on.
• A random ID made when you install the app. It is not linked to your name, phone number or Google account.
• Your chats with the AI on Keysa's home screen, until you delete them.
• The words you type often (and which word usually follows which), so suggestions and autocorrect learn your own words, names and languages. This is never learned in password, PIN, number or private fields, and never sent anywhere.
• Text you copy, for the keyboard's clipboard: up to 20 recent items for one day, plus any you pin, until you delete them. Passwords and codes that apps mark as private are never kept, and the clipboard is never sent anywhere.

What is sent, and only when you use the AI

When you tap send in the AI box, or in the chat on Keysa's home screen, the app sends this to our server:

• The text you typed into the AI box, plus the earlier messages of that same AI chat.
• In the home-screen chat: your new message, plus the most recent messages of that chat so the AI can follow it.
• For Explain with an empty AI box: the text you copied (your clipboard), which is the message you want explained.
• The mode (write, explain, translate, chat, or a skill: search, image or photo), the tone you picked and your language.
• The random install ID, used only to limit each phone to 10 AI requests a minute.
• Your IP address, which every internet request carries. Our server uses it only to limit each network to 60 AI requests a minute, and does not store it.

Our server passes the text to Anthropic's Claude API to write the reply, then sends the reply back to your phone.

Skills: web search, pictures and photos

Each skill can be turned off in the keyboard's Skills list, and works only when you use it:

• Web search: when you use Search, or when the AI sees that your question needs the web (for example restaurants, prices or news), your question is searched on the web by Anthropic's web search for Claude, to answer it with sources. Writing or replying to a message is never searched. The approximate country of your network may be used to find local results. Nothing from the app or chat you are typing in is sent.
• Create images: your description is turned into a picture by Cloudflare's image AI (Workers AI), on the same network as our server. The picture is sent back to your phone and is not stored by us. It is saved to your phone only if you tap Save or send it.
• Ask about a photo (the camera button or Photo): only the one photo you take or pick is made smaller on your phone and sent with your question, to Anthropic's Claude API. Keysa needs no camera or storage permission: your phone's own camera or photo picker hands over only that photo. The photo is not stored by us, and Keysa does not keep it on your phone after the AI chat closes.

Speaking to the AI (the mic)

If you tap the mic in the AI box, your phone's own speech recogniser (on most phones, Google's) turns what you say into text, in the language you speak to it (English until you pick another; if it isn't sure what it heard, the app asks which language you spoke). Depending on your phone, this happens on the phone itself or in your phone's speech service, under that service's own privacy policy. Android asks for microphone permission the first time. The mic works only after you tap it, and stops when you pause, tap stop, or close the keyboard. Keysa never records or keeps your voice, and your voice never reaches our server: the app only receives the words, which are then sent to the AI like a typed message.

What we never do

• AI is always off in password, PIN, number and private fields. Nothing is sent from them.
• Our server does not store or log your messages.
• The keyboard's AI chat is cleared from your phone when you close the AI panel. Chats on Keysa's home screen stay on your phone, and are never uploaded or backed up, until you delete them.
• No accounts, no ads, no selling or sharing of your data.

If you report an AI reply

Under each AI reply there is a Report link. If you report a reply, we keep that AI reply, the reason you picked and your optional note for up to 90 days so a person can review it and improve the AI. Your own message is not included. Nothing is kept unless you send a report.

Other companies involved

• Cloudflare runs our server. It may keep standard technical logs, such as IP address and time of a request, for a short time.
• Anthropic receives the AI text to create the reply, under its commercial terms and privacy policy (anthropic.com/legal).

Where your data is processed

Keysa is offered in India. Our server runs on Cloudflare's worldwide network, and Anthropic processes AI text in other countries, including the United States. So text you send to the AI is processed outside India, only to create the reply.

How long we keep data

• Your AI messages and replies: not kept. They pass through our server only while the reply is made.
• Reported AI replies: up to 90 days, then deleted automatically.
• Everything on your phone: until you clear it, uninstall the app, or (for the keyboard's AI chat) close the AI panel. Long-press a home-screen chat in the menu to delete it.

Children

Keysa is meant for people aged 18 and over. Please don't use it if you are under 18.

Your rights and choices

• Tap the AI switch above the keys to turn AI off for an app at any time.
• Uninstalling the app deletes everything it saved on your phone.
• Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, nominate someone to act for you, and complain to us. Because we don't keep your messages, usually there is nothing stored about you; if you sent a report, tell us roughly when and we will delete it.
• If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Contact and complaints

For questions, requests or complaints about your data (grievances), email the developer at the address shown on Keysa's Google Play page. We will reply as soon as we can.
