Privacy Policy

Last updated 7 October 2026

Badu is built so your information stays yours. This page explains what is collected, where it goes and the choices you have.

1. Your own private copy

Each customer gets their own copy of Badu on its own server. Your messages, memory, contacts and files are stored there, not in a shared database with other customers. Trial users get a private space on our trial server.

2. What we collect

• Account and billing: your name, email, plan and payment status, handled through our licensing partner. We do not store card numbers.
• What you give Badu: messages, files, notes and anything you ask it to remember, kept on your copy.
• Connected services: when you connect email, calendars, WhatsApp, Telegram, shops or payment accounts, Badu reads and acts on that data only to do what you ask.
• This website: we do not use advertising trackers on it. Your light or dark choice is saved in your own browser.

3. AI providers

To answer you, Badu sends the relevant messages and context to the AI provider set in your copy (for example Anthropic, OpenAI or Google). They process it under their own terms. Where you use your own AI key, your agreement with that provider applies directly.

4. How it is protected

Passwords, keys and sign-in tokens are stored encrypted. Actions that cannot be undone need your approval first. Your copy takes a daily backup and keeps the last 7, which you can restore from Settings.

5. We do not sell your data

We never sell or rent your data, and we do not use it to train AI models or for advertising.

6. Google and Microsoft sign-in

If you sign in to email or calendars with Google or Microsoft, Badu uses that access only to read, sort, draft and send mail and to read and add calendar events for you. Badu's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This data is not shared with others except the AI provider needed to do what you asked, and is not used for ads. You can remove access at any time in Badu's Settings or in your Google or Microsoft account.

7. Keeping and deleting data

Your data stays on your copy for as long as you use Badu. You can delete memories, messages and connected accounts in Settings at any time. When you leave, you can download a backup, and we then delete your server and its backups. Trial spaces are deleted 14 days after the trial ends, so download your backup before then if you plan to buy.

8. Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data. Contact us and we will respond within 30 days, in line with Ghana's Data Protection Act and other laws that apply to you.

9. Children

Badu is for adults and businesses. It is not meant for children under 16.

10. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and tell paying customers about important changes.
