Privacy policy

Effective 24 October 2026

The short version

Akshara is a keyboard that runs entirely on your phone. It asks for no Android permissions, including internet access, so it cannot send anything you type anywhere. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics. HEXHAD collects no data from the app.

What you type

Like every keyboard, Akshara receives the keys you press so it can turn them into text. It turns Singlish into Sinhala in memory, on the phone, and hands the text to the app you are typing in. Akshara does not keep a record of what you type, and it learns no words from you.

Android shows a standard notice when you turn on any keyboard, saying it may be able to collect what you type. Akshara does not, and with no internet access it has no way to send it anywhere.

Clipboard history

While Akshara is your keyboard, it keeps a history of text and images you copy, so you can paste them again. You can turn this off in Akshara's settings.

• The history is stored only in Akshara's private storage on your phone.
• It is excluded from Android cloud backup and from device-to-device transfer.
• Copies that apps mark as sensitive, and anything copied while you type in a password field or an incognito field, are never saved.
• It keeps up to 50 unpinned items. You can pin, delete or clear items at any time.
• When you paste a saved image into an app, Android gives that app temporary access to that one image. No other app can read the history.

Settings

Your choices (theme, accent, key height, sounds and so on) and your recently used emoji are stored on the phone, also excluded from backup.

Deleting your data

Clear the clipboard from the keyboard, or remove everything with Android Settings, Apps, Akshara, Storage, Clear storage. Uninstalling Akshara deletes all of it.

Children

Akshara collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
