We value and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that may be collected when you access or use our application, how that information is handled, and the measures we take to keep it secure. It also provides details about your rights regarding personal information and explains our compliance with applicable privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).Â
To provide and improve our services, certain categories of information may be collected automatically or voluntarily provided by users.
The application may collect basic technical information related to your device, including:
Device type and model
Operating system and version
Display characteristics, such as screen size and resolution
We may gather information about how the application is used, including:
Features and tools accessed within the app
Pages, screens, or sections visited
User interactions and engagement events
To maintain stability and improve user experience, we may collect:
Crash reports and error records
Performance metrics and diagnostic data
In limited circumstances, users may voluntarily provide personal information, such as:
Email address when contacting customer support
Account-related information if account creation or sign-in functionality is available
For speech recognition and speech-to-text features, audio processing is performed directly on the user's device whenever possible. Audio recordings are not transmitted to, retained by, or stored on our servers.
We do not intentionally collect or access highly sensitive information, including:
Contact lists stored on your device
Precise GPS location data
Audio recordings captured in the background without user interaction
Our application includes an optional AI-assisted summarization feature designed to help users generate concise summaries from transcribed content.
To provide this functionality, we utilize Google's Gemini AI technology through Firebase AI services, including the Gemini 2.5 Flash model.
When a user chooses to use the AI summary feature:
Speech recognition and speech-to-text conversion are performed locally on the user's device.
Only the text generated from the on-device transcription process is transmitted to Google's AI service for summary generation.
Audio recordings themselves are never uploaded, transferred, or shared with Google or any other third party.
The transmitted text is used exclusively for generating the requested summary.
Unless a user intentionally saves content within the application, we do not retain AI prompts, generated summaries, or related processing data on our own servers.
The AI processing required to generate summaries is provided by Google Gemini through Firebase AI services. Information submitted for AI processing is handled in accordance with Google's applicable privacy, security, and data protection practices.
The AI summarization feature is entirely optional. Processing only occurs when a user actively chooses to use the feature and provides the necessary consent within the application.
The information we collect is used to support, maintain, and enhance the operation of our application. Specifically, data may be processed for the following purposes:
To enable and maintain core application functionality.
To provide AI-powered features, including content summarization services requested by users.
To improve overall usability, performance, and user experience.
To analyze technical issues, diagnose errors, and maintain service reliability.
To respond to support requests, questions, or feedback submitted by users.
To develop, optimize, and deliver features that are relevant to user needs.
We process information only for legitimate operational purposes related to providing and improving our services.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise monetize users' personal information to third parties.
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal data only when a valid legal basis exists. Depending on the nature of the processing activity, one or more of the following legal grounds may apply:
We may rely on your consent for specific processing activities, including:
Analytics and measurement activities where consent is required by law.
AI-powered processing and summary generation features.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to applicable legal and technical limitations.
Certain data processing activities are necessary to provide the services and features that users request through the application, including:
Delivering core app functionality.
Processing user requests and generating requested outputs.
Maintaining access to features and services offered within the application.
We may process limited information when necessary to pursue our legitimate business interests, provided that such interests do not override users' fundamental rights and freedoms. Examples include:
Analyzing application performance and reliability.
Detecting, preventing, and investigating security threats or misuse.
Improving service quality, stability, and operational efficiency.
We carefully assess these interests and implement appropriate safeguards to protect user privacy.
