Your moments belong to you.

Privacy policy · Version 1.0.2 · Updated 8 November 2026

Katha Well Manifested is a wedding companion created by Sathvik Kotha for the friends and family of Tanya and Sathvik. Personal keepsakes stay on your device. The optional Cocktail Night DJ list shares song requests through Appwrite.

What stays on your device

Your name, selected or captured photographs, framed pictures, postcard preferences, written wishes, game progress and discoveries are stored locally to personalise the app and create your keepsakes. We do not receive these details. Your operating system may back up app data depending on your settings; we do not operate or have access to those backups.

The optional DJ list

You can use the guide, story, games and personal keepsakes without joining a guest profile. If you choose Join the DJ list, Appwrite creates an anonymous profile and session. No email address, name, Spotify account or Google sign-in is required.

We store the guest profile identifier and your selected song identifiers, titles, artists, albums and music links in our Appwrite project in Singapore. They let us maintain the shared request list, combine support for a song, limit picks, restore your selections and remove your own requests. The list and its CSV export show songs and request counts, without exposing other guests’ profile identifiers. Guests and the hosts can view the combined list; the hosts may give the exported songs to the wedding DJ. A request does not guarantee playback.

Song search and third-party services

Song or artist searches pass through our Appwrite function to Apple’s public music catalogue. If you paste an individual Spotify or YouTube song link, our server sends that link to the relevant service to identify its title, then searches Apple’s catalogue. Search terms and link results may be cached briefly to avoid repeated requests. The app does not stream music, access your music account, read your playlists or ask to modify a playlist.

These service providers receive the requests needed to identify songs and apply their own privacy policies. Appwrite function execution records may retain request or response metadata under the project’s service settings. We do not operate a separate guest search-history screen or analytics profile.

Connection and security information

Appwrite processes connection information needed to deliver and secure the service, including IP addresses, session and user identifiers, operating-system and device information, request times, execution diagnostics and approximate country inferred from the connection. Some records are associated with the anonymous guest profile. This supports sessions, security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting. The app does not request your phone’s location permission or collect GPS coordinates.

Camera, photos and reminders

Camera access is used only when you choose to scan a physical letter or welcome card, or take a picture. You can enter a printed code or choose an existing photo instead. Photo access is for the images you select. The app does not request microphone or contacts access.

If you enable 11:11 reminders, the app requests notification permission and schedules reminders on your phone. This release does not send your device’s push token to a notification server. You can turn reminders off in Privacy & Support or your phone’s settings.

Saving and sharing pictures

Your pictures leave the app only when you choose to export or share them through your device. You choose the destination, whose policies apply to that copy. The app does not automatically send your pictures or wishes to the couple or other guests.

Removing data and retention

In the DJ screen, open Our list → Remove my DJ data and confirm deletion. This removes your song requests and anonymous DJ profile. Removing one pick withdraws your support without removing other guests’ choices. If an existing registered account is used, only that account’s DJ requests are deleted. Security and operational logs may remain for the provider’s configured retention period. Shared requests otherwise remain until removed by the guest or hosts; there is no automatic wedding-date expiry.

In Memories, open a photo to remove it. Explore → Privacy & Support → Clear my app data clears local personal information, app-owned pictures, wishes, preferences and progress and turns off scheduled reminders after confirmation. Local clearing does not delete DJ records: use the DJ deletion control separately. Uninstalling the app does not remove server records or exported copies. Original camera-roll photographs, exported files, operating-system backups and DJ exports already shared are managed separately.

If you lose access to the guest profile, email support for help. Because personal keepsakes are not uploaded, we cannot view or remotely restore them.

Links and support

Directions, music identification links and support links open another app or browser when you choose them. These services may receive normal connection information. If you email sathvikkotha@gmail.com, we receive the email address, message and attachments you send and use them to help with your request. You can ask us to delete support correspondence. Please avoid sending private photographs or unnecessary sensitive information.
