Privacy policyUjiya (उजिया), updated 14 November 2026
Ujiya is a free app by Codepth IT Solutions Private Limited, Lucknow, India ("we"). It reads printed paper aloud. This policy explains what happens to your data. In short: we collect nothing. There is no account, no ads and no analytics.
What stays on your phone
- Photos and PDFs you choose, the text read from them, your reading history, starred items and voice notes are stored only on your phone, inside the app. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
- Text recognition (OCR), translation and reading aloud run on your phone. Your photos and text are not sent to us or to anyone else for this.
- A family phone number, if you save one for the help button, stays on your phone. The app opens your phone's dialer with it; it never calls by itself.
When the app uses the internet
- To download reading tools once: text recognition models through Google Play services, translation language packs through Google ML Kit, and voices through your phone's speech engine. These downloads do not include your photos or text.
- Voice notes use your phone's own voice typing service. If the offline speech pack for your language is not installed, that service (provided by your phone maker or Google) may process your voice online under its own privacy policy.
- The app may show Google Play's in-app review prompt. Google Play handles any rating you give.
- The app reads the Google Play install referrer once, on the phone, to know whether it was installed from a shared link. It is not sent to us.
Sharing
Nothing is shared unless you tap a share button. Then the text, photo or voice file goes to the app you choose (for example WhatsApp), under that app's terms.
Permissions
Ujiya asks only for internet access. It uses your phone's camera app, document scanner and voice typing screens, so it does not need camera, microphone, contacts or storage permissions.
Children
Ujiya is a general reading tool for adults and families. It is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: contact@codepth.cloud.
