This Privacy Policy explains how Scrolla Typography Engine ("Scrolla", "we", "us", or "our"), accessible at scrolla.in, collects, uses, and protects information about you when you use our service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 (India), the IT (Amendment) Act, 2008, and where applicable the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using Scrolla you agree to the practices described in this policy.

  • Profile preferences and onboarding responses

Payment Data

  • Subscription plan and billing status — we record which plan you are on and when it renews

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide the service — render your videos, manage your account, enforce plan limits, and process payments
  • Communicate with you — send transactional emails such as email verification, payment receipts, and export notifications
  • Improve the product — analyse anonymized, aggregated usage data to understand which features work well and prioritise improvements
  • Security & fraud prevention — detect abuse, enforce our Acceptable Use Policy, and protect our infrastructure

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not use your video scripts or ad copy to train external AI models without explicit consent.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on cloud infrastructure hosted primarily in India and governed by applicable Indian data protection laws. We use the following measures to protect your information:

  • All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storage
  • Access tokens use short expiry windows with secure refresh token rotation
  • Database access is restricted to authenticated application services — no direct public access
  • Exported videos are stored on Cloudinary with access controls

Despite these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

Required for the service to function — these include your authentication session (httpOnly refresh token cookie) and security tokens. You cannot opt out of these while using the service.

We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how users navigate the site. These cookies collect anonymized data. You can opt out by using a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
