Kyu Privacy
Last updated: November 10, 2026
Kyu is a browser teleprompter from Hedgehog Technology Consulting, LLC. This policy describes the app at kyu-prompter.replit.app and support correspondence about Kyu.
Your script and reading settings
Kyu processes typed, pasted, and imported script text in your browser. The app does not upload your script or imported text file to a Kyu server for storage, processing, or AI analysis.
Kyu uses your browser’s local storage to save one current script and reading settings, including pace, text size, vertical reading position, and natural-pacing preference. It does not save playback progress or whether reading was running or paused.
Local storage belongs to the browser profile and app address you use. It does not sync through a Kyu account or transfer automatically to another browser, device, or domain. There is no automatic expiry for these saved values; they remain until replaced, cleared, or removed by your browser.
Your controls and shared devices
Clear replaces the current script with empty text. Importing a file or restoring the sample also replaces the current script. To remove both saved text and reading settings, clear your browser’s site data for kyu-prompter.replit.app. This removes other local app data too. Keep a separate copy before clearing or replacing a script you want to retain.
Kyu has no account password or app-level encryption protecting locally saved text. Someone using the same browser profile may be able to read it. Kyu cannot recover scripts that have been overwritten or removed from browser storage.
Browser extensions, browser sync features, and enhanced spelling services have their own data handling. Browser spellcheck is enabled in the script editor; review your browser and extension settings before entering sensitive text.
Replit hosting and pageview analytics
Replit hosts the app. Loading it sends ordinary connection and request information, such as your IP address, browser information, and requested address, to the hosting service.
The app also loads Replit-provided pageview analytics. Its analytics configuration includes the page address, page title, hostname, referring address, screen dimensions, and browser language. Page addresses may include query strings or fragments, so do not put private information into app URLs. Kyu does not add your script text to these analytics events.
Hosting and analytics information is separate from your locally saved script. Replit processes information through its services under its own privacy policy.
Fonts and device permissions
Kyu loads typefaces from Google Fonts. Your browser connects to Google’s font services, which receive connection and font-request information. Kyu does not include your script text in font requests.
Kyu does not request camera, microphone, location, or notification access. Text-file access happens when you choose a file to import. The app does not record audio or video.
Support and privacy questions
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments through our Microsoft 365 email service. We use that correspondence to respond to your question and investigate the issue you report. Send a description of the problem rather than confidential script text, and remove private information from screenshots.
Contact info@hedgehog-tech.com with privacy questions or requests about information you have provided to us. Locally saved scripts and settings can be removed through your own browser controls.
This website and policy changes
The Kyu information pages on hedgehog-tech.com use the website’s consent-based Google Analytics controls. The website privacy policy explains that collection. Cookie settings on this website control its analytics; they do not control the separate Replit-hosted app or its services.
We will update this page when Kyu’s data handling changes. The date above identifies the latest revision.
