Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

1. What Bhejde is

Bhejde is a chat and file transfer app for devices on the same local network. It runs in two parts: a Windows app on your PC and an Android app on your phone. Both talk to each other directly over your LAN (your WiFi or wired network).

There is no cloud behind Bhejde. There is no account to create, no sign in, and no database of ours that stores anything you send.

2. What we cannot see

Because every message and file stays inside your own network:

• We cannot read your chats. They never travel to us.
• We cannot see your files. They move device to device.
• We cannot identify you. There is no registration and no tracking.
• We cannot hand over data we do not have. There is nothing to store, sell, or share.

This is not a promise we make in a policy document. It is a fact about how the app is built: the connection is between your own devices, and no third party sits in the middle.

3. What is stored, and where

Everything is stored on your own devices, under your control:

• Chat history is kept in a local file on your PC (history.json) and in the phone app's own storage. It stays until you delete it. By default nothing is auto deleted.
• Received files land in your Downloads\Bhejde folder on the PC, and in your phone's storage on Android.
• Settings (your name, PIN, preferences) live in a local config file on the PC.

You can clear history from the app, and uninstalling removes the app. Nothing about you exists anywhere else.

4. The one time the app uses the internet

Chat and files are always LAN only. The single exception is the update check:

• The PC app checks a small public file (a version list) to see if a newer version exists. This is just a version number and download links. It sends no messages, no files, no device identity and no usage data.
• This check only happens if an update link is set. You can clear it in Settings (Update link) to switch it off completely, and the app goes fully offline.
• Turning it off does not affect chat or file transfer in any way.

Everything you type and send is unaffected by this check. It never includes your content.

5. This website

This site only exists to let you download the app and read about it. It sets no advertising cookies and runs no analytics or trackers. Your hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) may keep standard technical server logs (such as IP address, time and requested page) for security and abuse prevention, as described in Cloudflare's own privacy policy.

If you use the contact form, we receive what you type: your name, your email address and your message. We use it only to reply to you, and we do not add you to any list.

6. Children

Bhejde is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children, beyond what you type into the contact form yourself.

7. Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes in a way that affects this policy, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date. The current version is always the one you are reading now.
