Privacy

What Jarvis keeps, why he keeps it, and how to have it removed. Written to be read, not to be survived.

Last updated 23 August 2026

The short version. The demonstration on this site keeps a little information in your browser so Jarvis can hold a conversation. If you put your name down for the beta, we keep what you typed into that form so we can invite you. We do not sell anything to anyone, and there is no advertising on this site.

Who we are

Jarvis is built by Arya, and this site is published at hiarya.com. If you want anything explained, corrected, or deleted, write to support@hiarya.com and a person will answer.

What this site collects, and why

A session marker	A random identifier stored in a cookie named `jv_sid`. It contains no personal information. It exists so we can count how many exchanges you have had against the free allowance, and so the conversation survives a page reload. It cannot be read by scripts.
Your conversation	What you type or say to Jarvis is sent to our server so it can be answered, and a short recent history is kept in your own browser so he can follow the thread. We do not build a profile from it or use it for advertising.
Your beta form	If you choose to put your name down: your name, email address, age range, optionally your school and year, what you would use Jarvis for, how you heard about us, and your answers on beta testing and pricing.
Your display choice	Whether you picked light or dark. Stored in your browser only, and kept even if you decline everything else, because it is a preference rather than a record of you.

Speech

If you press the microphone, your browser turns your speech into text using its own built-in recognition, which on most browsers means the audio is handled by your browser's maker under their privacy policy. We receive only the text. We do not record, store, or keep audio of your voice.

Who else sees it

To answer you at all, your question is sent to the providers who supply the language and speech technology behind Jarvis. They process it in order to produce a reply and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. Beta sign-ups are recorded in a form provided by Google, so what you submit is stored on Google's systems as well as ours.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We will disclose information if the law genuinely requires it.

If you are under eighteen

Jarvis is made for young people, so this matters more here than on most sites. If you are under eighteen, please ask a parent or guardian before putting your name down or sharing personal details. If you are under thirteen, we need a parent or guardian to sign up on your behalf.

If you are a parent and would like to see, correct, or delete anything we hold about your child, write to support@hiarya.com and we will do it. We will not ask you to justify the request.

How long we keep it

In your browser: until you clear your browser data, or decline consent, whichever happens first.
Beta sign-ups: until the beta has concluded and we no longer need them, or until you ask us to delete yours.
Conversations: we keep no permanent record of the demonstration conversations on this site.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or withdraw your consent. One email to support@hiarya.com is enough, and you do not need to use any particular wording.

Cookies

We use only what the site needs to function. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics that follow you elsewhere, and no third-party trackers. If you decline, the conversation cannot run, and we say so plainly rather than quietly degrading.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so on this page and update the date at the top.
