HappiNotes Privacy Policy

This notice describes how HappiNotes handles information when you use our website, Android app, account, library, audio content, purchases, subscriptions, notifications, or privacy-request tools. It applies to personal information handled by the service, subject to the laws that apply where you live.

Effective date: 6 November 2026.

Who operates HappiNotes

HappiNotes is owned and operated by AIRASKILL CITY PRIVATE LIMITED ("HappiNotes", "we", "us", or "our"). Our registered office is 2619, T2, 6th Floor, HiLITE Business Park, HiLITE City, near Guruvayurappan College, Kozhikode – 673014, Kerala, India.

For customer support or privacy requests, contact hello@happinotes.online or +91 8089239823. Do not send your password, one-time code, payment-card details, or store purchase token by ordinary email or phone.

Who may use HappiNotes

HappiNotes is intended for people aged 18 or older. Do not create an account or use the service if you are under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has provided information to HappiNotes, contact us so we can review the matter.

The company intends to make HappiNotes available worldwide. Android is the first intended store release; an iOS release is planned for later. Availability and applicable privacy rules differ by location.

Information we handle

Depending on the features you use, HappiNotes may handle:

• Account and sign-in information: name, email address and/or phone number, a protected password verifier, account identifier, language and other account settings, and authentication/session information.
• Security and verification information: one-time verification codes and delivery details, password-reset and reauthentication records, and information used to protect accounts and process requests.
• Library and preferences: favourites, book collections, purchased-book references, language and theme preferences, and the account's current Premium or subscription access state.
• Store transaction information: store, product or plan identifiers, transaction references, purchase and subscription state, expiry or renewal state where supplied by the store, and information used to verify store notifications. Google Play or Apple controls checkout and payment details submitted to it. HappiNotes does not ask you to send us your store password or payment-card number.
• Deletion-request information: a request reference, date, source, status, processing history, and the information needed to verify and handle the request. If the website gives you a private status code, keep it safe.
• Notification information: push-notification device token references and the content of service notifications.
• Books and media: catalogue and library information and the audio, image or video media needed to provide the service.
• Device and browser information: session credentials, app settings, cached catalogue or book information, and browser-stored session, playback-completion or deletion-request information. Some information remains on your device or browser until you clear it.
• Operational information: information generated when the service is accessed, such as application, hosting, security and access logs. The exact information collected by hosting and other infrastructure services depends on their configuration.

Information from stores and service providers

When you request a password-recovery or verification email, enable push notifications, or make or restore a purchase, the relevant service may provide information needed for that feature. Resend delivers password-recovery and one-time-code emails using the destination email address and message content. Push services receive a device token and notification content. Google Play provides or verifies Android product and transaction state. Apple purchase and notification support is intended for a future iOS release and is not part of the Android billing path.

Depending on the service and configuration, HappiNotes may use Railway for backend hosting, MongoDB for application data hosted through Railway, Resend for password-recovery and OTP email delivery, Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications, Cloudinary for catalogue audio and media, and Google Play Billing for Android purchases, subscriptions and transaction verification. Apple App Store billing and notification services may be used if and when the iOS app launches. These providers process information for the functions described here.

How we use information

We use information to:

• create and manage accounts and provide sign-in;
• provide books, audio/media, collections, favourites and app settings;
• deliver account and security emails and requested push notifications;
• verify purchases, restore eligible purchases, and provide or remove access to purchased content and Premium features;
• protect and maintain the service and investigate suspected misuse;
• receive, verify, track and respond to account-deletion and support requests; and
• meet obligations that apply to the company.

The legal grounds for processing, where a law requires a legal ground, depend on the activity and your location. This notice does not state that one legal ground applies to every use.

Purchases and subscriptions

For Android, purchases and subscriptions are offered through Google Play. Google Play handles checkout, payment credentials, recurring charges and store-level subscription controls. HappiNotes uses verified transaction information to decide what content or Premium access the HappiNotes account can use.

Apple purchase and server-notification support is intended for a future iOS release. It should not be understood as an active payment method for the Android app.

Deleting a HappiNotes account does not cancel a Google Play or Apple App Store subscription. To stop future store renewals, manage or cancel the subscription in the store where you purchased it. Account access and store billing are separate. Prices, taxes, renewal terms, refunds and purchase-restoration rules depend on the store and the applicable terms shown at checkout.

Cookies, local storage and device information

The website and app use local or session storage for purposes such as keeping a signed-in session, remembering preferences, caching catalogue information, recording playback completion, and tracking an external deletion request during a browser session. These browser storage mechanisms are not necessarily cookies. You can clear local information through your browser or device settings, but clearing it does not remove account or transaction records held by HappiNotes or a service provider.

Sharing and disclosures

We may provide information to the service providers described above where needed to operate the service, deliver email or push notifications, store media, host application data, or verify purchases. We may also disclose information where required by applicable law or valid legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect the service and its users, subject to applicable legal requirements.

International processing

HappiNotes is intended for users in different countries. Service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. The safeguards and notices that apply depend on the actual service locations, provider arrangements and applicable law.

Retention and disposal

We keep information for the purposes described in this notice and as required by applicable law. Different information may be kept for different periods. A single fixed retention period does not apply to every type of information. Some account, purchase, subscription, deletion-request, support, provider, operational-log or backup information may remain after you stop using the service or request account deletion. Certain information may remain where an applicable legal or operational reason requires it; the applicable retention period depends on the record and the law.

Access, correction and privacy requests

You may contact us to ask about your information, request correction or deletion, object to or ask us to restrict certain processing, request a copy or portability where available, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or raise a privacy complaint. The rights available, identity checks, exceptions, response process and deadlines depend on your location and applicable law. Contact us at hello@happinotes.online or +91 8089239823.

Account deletion and current limitations

You can start a deletion request from the signed-in app or through the public account-deletion page. The in-app process requires an authenticated session and a further identity check. The website process verifies control of the account's registered email using a one-time code. External verification using only a phone number is not available. The website provides a request reference and private status code; save that code securely because it may not be possible to recover it after account contact details are removed.

After a request is accepted for processing, the service removes password-reset and reauthentication records and matching verification codes, invalidates the account session, clears favourites, collections and push-token references, replaces the profile name with a generic label, resets selected settings, removes email and phone, and removes HappiNotes access to purchased books and Premium features.

These steps do not mean the request is complete. Some account information and the account identifier remain linked to purchase and subscription transaction records while their disposition is reviewed. Support communications, provider-side records, operational logs, backups and deletion-request history are not all removed through the account-deletion process. A request may pause while remaining records and actions are reviewed. We do not promise a fixed completion time. A request is complete only when the service confirms completion; “request received” or “under review” is not confirmation that all information has been deleted.

Deleting a HappiNotes account does not cancel recurring billing in Google Play or Apple. Cancel separately in the relevant store to stop future renewals.

Security

We use safeguards intended to protect information, including protected password storage, account access controls and verification steps. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Please keep your password and deletion status code private, use a secure device, and contact us if you believe someone has accessed your account without permission.

Children's privacy

HappiNotes is intended for people aged 18 or older and is not intended for children. If you believe a person under 18 has provided information, contact us at the details below.

Privacy rights by location

Privacy laws differ by country. Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to certain processing, receive or move certain information, withdraw consent, or complain to a regulator. These rights may have limits and do not apply identically everywhere. Contact us to ask about the process that applies to you.

Changes to this notice

This version is effective 6 November 2026. If we make a material change, we will update this date and explain how the change will be communicated.
