Privacy Policy

Effective 25 September 2026

Almanac is an open-source WhatsApp CRM, operated by Tuhin Patra, an individual based in India ("Almanac", "we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to personal data on this website, almanac.bar, and why the Almanac software itself sends us nothing.

The short version#

• This website has no cookies, no analytics, no trackers, no ads and no forms.
• The Almanac software runs on your own server. Your conversations, contacts and keys never reach us.
• If you email us, we use your email only to reply.

This website#

What we collect: nothing directly. The site is a set of static pages.

What our host logs: the site is served by Vercel Inc. Like any web host, Vercel processes technical data needed to deliver pages and keep them secure, such as IP address, browser type and the page requested, for a short period. See Vercel's privacy policy.

Links: buttons on this site lead to GitHub, Supabase, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and others. Their own privacy policies apply once you're there.

The Almanac software#

Almanac is self-hosted: you install it on a computer or server you control and connect it to accounts you create (Supabase, Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform, and optionally OpenAI or Anthropic). As a result:

• We never receive your conversations, contacts, deals, files, passwords or API keys. They are stored in your Supabase project and sent only to the services you connect.
• The installer downloads code from GitHub and packages from npm. Those services see the download request, as with any software.
• You are responsible for your customers' data. When you use Almanac to message your customers, you decide what is collected and why, so you are the data fiduciary for that data under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (and the controller under laws like the GDPR). Get consent before messaging people, honour opt-outs and follow WhatsApp's Business Messaging Policy.

Email#

If you write to tuhin@almanac.bar, we receive your email address and whatever you include. We use it only to reply and help you, keep it only as long as needed for that, and never sell or share it, except where the law requires.

Your rights#

You can ask us to see, correct or delete any personal data we hold about you (in practice, only emails you've sent us) by writing to tuhin@almanac.bar. We reply within 30 days.

Children#

This website and Almanac are meant for businesses and are not directed at children under 18.

Grievance officer#

As required by the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its rules:

Tuhin Patra, Grievance Officer Email: tuhin@almanac.bar

We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and aim to resolve them within 15 days.

Changes#

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date. Material changes will also be noted in the project changelog.
