1. Introduction
HomesDeck, operated by Krys Con Projects Pvt. Ltd. (“we”, “our”, or “us”), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. This policy complies with the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and other applicable data protection laws.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address, display name, and encrypted password credentials (managed by AWS Cognito).
Household Data: We store data you enter into the Service, including household names, tasks, calendar events, grocery lists, bills, assets, and contacts.
Vault Data: Vault items (passwords, PINs, notes) are encrypted end-to-end using AES-256-GCM before storage. We cannot read your vault contents.
Usage Data: We may collect logs of API requests, error reports, and performance metrics to operate and improve the Service. This data does not include the contents of your household data.
Payment Information: We do not store payment card details. All payment processing is handled by Stripe (for international payments) and Razorpay (for Indian payments). We receive only transaction confirmation and subscription status from these processors.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Create and manage your account and household.
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on AWS infrastructure in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region (ap-south-1). We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- AES-256-GCM encryption for all vault data at rest.
- TLS encryption for all data in transit.
- AWS Cognito for secure authentication with JWT tokens.
- Access controls limiting who can access production data.
- Regular security reviews of our infrastructure.
While we take these precautions, no security system is impenetrable. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and enable multi-factor authentication where available.

We share your data only in the following circumstances:
- With household members: Data you add to a household is visible to other members of that household according to their assigned role.
