Rahah

Privacy

Last updated 31 October 2026

Rahah is a study helper made and run by Runie. This page says what Rahah keeps about you, why, who else sees it, and how to have it removed. Questions go to studywithrahah@gmail.com.

What Rahah keeps

• Your account: your username, email, the name you give, and your password stored scrambled so nobody can read it. If you sign in with Google, Rahah keeps the ID Google gives your account, your email and name, nothing else from Google.
• What you study: your chats, the files and photos you add, notes, tests and your answers and scores, flashcard progress, reminders, timetable, and the subjects you add.
• A parent's email: if you add one, Rahah sends them a short weekly report while you're on Pro: study time, days studied, tests and their average, flashcards and questions asked, and your strongest and weakest subject. Never your chats or answers. Remove it any time on the Account tab.
• Invites: if you joined with a friend's link, Rahah notes who invited you, so they can get their reward if you buy a pass.
• Rahah Pro and Max payments: if you buy a pass, Rahah keeps which pass, the amount, when it was paid and Paystack's reference for it. Your card number and M-Pesa PIN go only to Paystack, Rahah never sees them.
• Your profile photo: if you add one, it's made small and cleaned of anything hidden in the file, like where it was taken. Friends you've accepted can see it, and so can other students on the overall leaderboard, unless you turn off being found in friend search, then only friends see it.
• Friends and study time: who your friends are, requests you sent or got, and how many minutes you spent studying each day, for the leaderboard. Friends only see your username, first name and this week's points, never your chats or answers.
• Settings: like your answer language, saved with your account and in your browser.
• Usage: how much each request cost and how much of your daily allowance you've used, and any answers you mark helpful or not helpful.
• Your agreement: when you ticked the box agreeing to the terms and this page, and that a parent or guardian said yes if you're under 18.
• Password resets: a one-time link, kept scrambled, that stops working after 30 minutes.
• Sign in safety: the internet address of failed sign ins and new accounts, kept for a short time to stop people guessing passwords or making endless accounts.

Why

Only to run Rahah for you: answering your questions, keeping your work, showing your progress, and keeping accounts and the service safe. Rahah has no ads, doesn't sell your information, and doesn't use it for anything else.

Who else sees it

• Anthropic, which makes Claude, the AI behind Rahah. Your questions, the chat so far and the files you add are sent to Claude to write each answer, and files are kept with Anthropic so later questions can read them again. Anthropic doesn't use them to train its models.
• Render, which hosts Rahah on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, where everything is stored.
• Google, only if you choose Sign in with Google.
• Paystack, only if you buy Rahah Pro or Max. They take the payment and send your receipt to your email.
• Services that send the page its fonts and drawing tools (Google Fonts, jsDelivr and cdnjs) see your internet address when the page loads, like any website.
• Runie, as the admin, can see each account's username, email and usage to manage limits and help with problems.

Children and young people

Many students using Rahah are under 18. Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 asks for a parent or guardian's consent before a child's information is used, so anyone under 18 confirms a parent or guardian has said yes when they make an account. To keep young students safe:

• Rahah says clearly that it's an AI, not a person.
• Claude is told to keep everything suitable for school, to refuse romantic, sexual, dangerous or hurtful requests, and to point a student who says they're in danger to a trusted adult and to Childline Kenya on 116.
• Anything unsafe can be reported from Account, then Help, then Report something unsafe, and Runie reads every report.
• A parent or guardian can ask to see, correct or delete their child's account by emailing studywithrahah@gmail.com.

These safeguards help but aren't perfect, so talking with young students about how they use AI still matters.

Cookies

Rahah uses one cookie, to keep you signed in. It lasts 30 days and isn't used for tracking. Your browser also keeps your settings and some decks and tests so they work offline.

How long it's kept

Your account and work are kept until you delete your account or ask for them to be removed. Daily backups are kept for a week, so removed information is fully gone within seven days.

Your choices

• Change your name, email and password on the Account tab.
• Delete chats, tests, notes and reminders yourself at any time.
• Delete your account and everything in it, including your files kept with Anthropic, from the bottom of the Account tab.
• To get a copy of what Rahah has about you, or have it corrected, email studywithrahah@gmail.com from the email on your account.

Keeping it safe

Rahah is only served over https, passwords are stored scrambled, each account can only see its own work, and answers are cleaned of anything that could run on your device before they're shown. No service is perfectly safe, so don't put passwords, bank details or other secrets into your chats.
