Privacy Policy

Your account

Signing in asks for your email address and, once you've verified it with a one-time code, your name, age, and profession. That's stored against your account so the curriculum can remember your progress across visits. We never see or store the one-time code itself in readable form; only a hashed version, used once to confirm it matched, then expired.

Who Maetis is for

Maetis is for adults. Accounts are for people aged 18 and over, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you think a child has made an account, write to hello@maetis.in and we will delete it.

Staying signed in

A signed cookie on your device says which account you're signed in as; nothing more, and it can't be edited to claim a different account. It lasts 90 days or until you sign out. No third-party login provider is involved.

The Maetis app

The app is the same Maetis on your phone: same sign-in, same account, same content, and it talks to maetis.in and to the services named below (payments, notifications, crash reports). On your phone it keeps your sign-in and your notification choices. It asks to send you notifications and nothing else: it never asks for your contacts, location, camera, photos, or files.

What you save and what we remember

When you're signed in, we remember what you choose to do: the units you mark complete, the items you bookmark, and your answers in the Labs that ask whether your thinking has changed since last time. These are stored against your account only to show them back to you. They are never shared and never used for advertising.

Decision Compass and Decision Socrates

The Decision Compass works on your device. What you type there is matched against Maetis's own pages on your phone or in your browser and is not sent anywhere.

Decision Socrates writes a short answer to a decision you describe, and needs a sign-in. When you ask, your question and any figures you add are sent securely to our server and, to write the answer, to an AI language model provider (currently Anthropic), which may process them outside India. Under the provider's terms your words are not used to train its models. Maetis does not keep your question unless you tick the box that lets us keep it to improve Decision Socrates. We do keep your consent record and a count of the answers you have used each month, so that we can give you ten a month. You can delete your account and these records at any time (Account, then Delete account).

Notifications

If you allow notifications in the app, we store a device notification token and which reminders you have on (Learning, Wisdom, Decision Room) against your account, and send at most one calm reminder a day. Delivery goes through Expo's notification service and, on Android, Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging or, on iPhone, Apple's notification service; they receive the token and the reminder text. You can switch any reminder off in the app's Account screen, or all notifications in your phone's settings.

The weekly note

If you join the weekly note from the form at the foot of a page, we store your email address, the date you joined and a private code used to unsubscribe you, and nothing else. We use it only to send you that note, a short idea about thinking clearly about money, about once a week. It is separate from an account: joining the note does not create one, and it is not linked to one. To leave, write to hello@maetis.in and we will remove you; the notes themselves will also carry an unsubscribe link. We do not sell the list or share it with advertisers.

Crash reports

The app uses Sentry, hosted in the European Union, to tell us when it crashes. A report contains the error, where in the code it happened, your phone model, operating system version and the app version. We configure it not to attach your name, email, or IP address, or anything you type, and we use it only to find and fix bugs.

TradeLab

Every simulated order, position, and the reasoning you write alongside it is stored against your account, purely so the simulator can show your own history back to you. It never touches a real market, exchange, or broker, and it's never shared with anyone else.

Payments

Paid Levels are processed by Razorpay on the website. In the app you can pay through Google Play or through Razorpay, and Google shows you that choice. We tell Razorpay the amount and an internal order reference; never your card, UPI ID, or bank details, which you enter directly into Razorpay's own checkout, not ours. If you pay through Google Play, Google handles your payment details and tells us the purchase happened, with a purchase reference; we never receive your card or bank details. Where Razorpay is used in the app we also tell Google Play that the sale took place, as its rules require. We keep a record of which product you bought, what it cost, the purchase reference, and whether the payment succeeded, so we can grant access, end it if a payment is refunded, and handle support if something goes wrong.

What's stored on your device

If you use the “Mark module as known” feature on a Level page, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage; a small file kept on your own device, separate from your account. It never leaves your browser, we never see it, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Analytics and advertising

We use Google Analytics and Meta's advertising pixel to see how people move through the site and to measure whether an ad actually led to a signup or purchase. These see page visits and product events, such as completing a signup or a purchase, tied to a general advertising identifier, never your name, email, or anything you typed into a form. We don't sell or share your data with anyone beyond Google and Meta's own handling of that same data, and nothing here is used to profile you beyond that.

Who helps us run Maetis

We use a small number of services to run Maetis, each only for the purpose named: Vercel (hosting), Neon (our database), Resend (sign-in emails and the weekly note), Razorpay and Google Play (payments), Google and Meta (analytics and ad measurement, described above), Expo and Google Firebase (app notifications), and Sentry (app crash reports). They handle data on our behalf and we don't sell your data to anyone.

Contacting us

The email link on our Contact page opens your own email app. Whatever you send goes directly to our inbox the same way any email does; we don't collect it through the website itself.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account yourself, at any time: in the app under Account, then Delete account, or on the Account page of the website. It's immediate and permanent, and it removes your profile, progress, bookmarks, saved decisions, Lab answers, TradeLab history, notification tokens, and any pending sign-in codes.

If you have made a purchase, we keep that payment record in minimal form for as long as tax and accounting law requires: what was bought, the amount, the date, and the Razorpay reference, with no name or email attached. Crash reports and analytics carry no name or email, so there is nothing in them to delete by account; they are removed under each provider's own retention period.

If you can't sign in, or would rather ask, follow the steps on our delete your account page.

When this changes

This policy will keep being revised as the product grows; you'll be able to tell, because the date above will change.
