PRIVACY POLICY
AI Voice Translator: Travel
Effective date: August 15, 2026
Last updated: August 15, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy explains how AI Voice Translator: Travel (“Voice Translate,” “the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, processes, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the App.
This Privacy Policy also explains the choices and controls available to you.
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required, the App will request your permission before the relevant data is collected or transmitted.
2. SUMMARY OF OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES
Voice Translate provides translation, speech recognition, live translation, camera translation, AI notes, summaries, and travel-related features.
Some features process information locally on your device. AI-powered features may require information to be transmitted to third-party service providers.
Before Voice Translate sends user content to a third-party AI service, the App displays an “Allow AI Data Processing?” screen that:
- explains what data will be sent;
- identifies the third-party recipients;
- explains why the data is needed; and
- asks for your explicit permission.
You may decline permission and continue using portions of the App that do not require third-party AI processing.
You may review, grant, or withdraw this permission at any time in:
Settings > AI Data & Privacy
After permission is declined or withdrawn, the App blocks new AI requests containing user content.
3. INFORMATION PROCESSED BY THE APP
Depending on the features you choose to use, Voice Translate may process the following categories of information.
3.1 Text, Transcripts, and Translation Content
This may include:
- text you type;
- text recognized from speech;
- conversation transcripts;
- source and target language selections;
- translation context;
- generated translations;
- text recognized from photos;
- prompts used to generate translations, summaries, titles, or AI notes;
- content you choose to save in translation history or AI notes.
This information is processed only when needed to provide a feature you request.
3.2 Microphone Audio
Voice Translate requests access to your microphone only when you use a voice-related feature.
Depending on the selected feature, microphone audio may be:
- processed through Apple Speech Recognition;
- streamed to Soniox while Live Translation is active; or
- stored locally as part of an AI note when you enable the option to save a recording.
Live microphone streaming to Soniox begins only when you actively start Live Translation and have granted AI data-processing permission.
Audio streaming stops when you stop Live Translation or leave the live session.
Voice Translate does not continuously record or stream microphone audio in the background.
3.3 Speech Recognition
Voice Translate uses Apple Speech Recognition to convert speech into text.
Depending on the language, device, and Apple system configuration, speech recognition may occur on the device or may require audio to be processed by Apple.
Apple Speech Recognition is subject to:
- the speech-recognition permission provided by iOS;
- the microphone permission provided by iOS; and
- Apple’s applicable privacy terms.
You may disable microphone or speech-recognition permission at any time through the iOS Settings app.
3.4 Photos and Camera Translation
When you use Camera Translation, Voice Translate may access a photo you select or an image captured with the camera.
The selected image is processed on the device using Apple Vision to recognize text.
Voice Translate does not upload the photo itself to OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Soniox.
Only the text recognized from the photo may be sent to OpenAI or Google Gemini for translation after you grant AI data-processing permission.
You control access to the camera and photo library through iOS permission settings.
3.5 Locally Stored App Data
Voice Translate may store information locally on your device, including:
- translation history;
- AI notes;
- optional saved voice recordings;
- language and playback preferences;
- favorite travel phrases;

- trip names;
- booking or hotel information entered by you;
- optional passport reminders or hints entered by you;
- emergency information entered by you;
- emergency contact names or phone numbers entered by you;
- app configuration and consent preferences.
This locally stored information is used to provide the App’s features and restore your preferences.
Voice Translate does not operate a server-side user account for this locally stored information.
Locally stored information remains on your device until you delete it, use the App’s “Delete Account & Data” feature, or uninstall the App, subject to normal device backup behavior controlled by Apple and your device settings.
3.6 Analytics, Diagnostics, Configuration, and Notifications
Voice Translate uses certain Firebase services provided by Google, including:

https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
5. PROVIDER SELECTION AND FALLBACK PROCESSING
Voice Translate may use OpenAI or Google Gemini as its text-based AI provider.
The configured provider may change through App configuration. If the configured provider is unavailable, the App may use the other listed provider as a fallback.
The categories of data and purposes remain the same regardless of which listed text-based AI provider processes the request.
Voice Translate identifies both possible recipients in its in-app consent disclosure so that users understand where their information may be sent before granting permission.
6. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use information only as reasonably necessary to:
- provide translations and speech recognition;
- provide live voice translation;
- recognize and translate text from photos;
- create summaries, titles, and AI notes;
- save content and preferences requested by the user;
- provide travel and offline features;
- verify purchases and subscription access;
- deliver permitted notifications;
- maintain and secure the App;
- diagnose crashes and technical failures;
- improve performance, functionality, and usability;
- respond to customer-support requests;
- prevent misuse or fraud; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell translation text, transcripts, microphone audio, recognized photo text, AI prompts, locally stored travel information, or other personal data.
We do not share this content for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.
7. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information based on one or more of the following:
- Consent: when you grant AI data-processing, microphone, speech-recognition, camera, photo-library, analytics, or notification permission where required.
- Performance of a service requested by you: when processing is necessary to provide a translation, live session, purchase, saved note, or other requested feature.
- Legitimate interests: when reasonably necessary to secure, maintain, diagnose, and improve the App without overriding your privacy rights.
- Legal obligations: when processing is necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal requests.
You may withdraw consent for future AI processing at any time through Settings > AI Data & Privacy.
8. SHARING OF INFORMATION
We share information only with service providers needed to operate features requested by the user or maintain the App.
These providers may include:
- OpenAI;
- Google Gemini;
- Soniox;
- Apple; and
- Google Firebase.
We require service providers that process personal data on our behalf to:
- process the information only for the stated purpose;
- apply appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards;
- comply with applicable privacy and data-protection obligations; and
- provide the same or an equivalent level of privacy protection described in this Privacy Policy.
Provider processing and retention are also governed by their applicable service terms, data-processing terms, configurations, and privacy policies.
We review provider terms and configurations before enabling a provider. If a provider cannot provide the required level of protection, we do not send personal data to that provider.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;
- protect the rights, security, and integrity of users, the App, or the public;
- investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents; or
- complete a business transfer where permitted by law and subject to appropriate privacy protections.
9. USER CHOICES AND PERMISSIONS
You control whether Voice Translate may access or process certain information.
9.1 AI Data-Processing Permission
Before user content is sent to OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Soniox, the App asks for explicit permission.
You may select:
- “Allow & Continue”; or
- “Not Now — Do Not Send My Data.”
If you decline, the App blocks third-party AI requests containing user content.
You may change this choice in:
Settings > AI Data & Privacy
9.2 Microphone and Speech Recognition
You may enable or disable microphone and speech-recognition access through iOS Settings.
Disabling these permissions will prevent voice-input features from working but will not prevent use of unrelated features.
9.3 Camera and Photos
You may control camera and photo-library access through iOS Settings.
You may select individual photos using Apple’s photo picker where supported.
9.4 Notifications
You may enable or disable notifications through iOS Settings.
9.5 Paid Features
Translation and AI features may require a separately purchased paid auto-renewable subscription.
Purchasing a subscription does not automatically grant microphone, camera, photo, speech-recognition, notification, or AI data-processing permission.
10. DATA RETENTION
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing requested features, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.
Specific retention depends on the type of information:
- Local translation history, AI notes, recordings, preferences, and travel information remain on the device until deleted by the user, removed through “Delete Account & Data,” or removed by uninstalling the App, subject to Apple device-backup settings.
- Live microphone streaming ends when the Live Translation session ends.
- The App does not upload Camera Translation photos to OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Soniox.
- AI providers may process or retain submitted content according to their applicable service terms, data-processing terms, account configuration, and privacy policies.
- Analytics, crash, configuration, and messaging information may be retained according to the applicable Firebase service configuration and Google’s terms.
- Purchase and subscription records are retained by Apple according to Apple’s legal, accounting, and service requirements.
- Customer-support correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the request, maintain support records, and comply with legal obligations.
11. DELETION AND WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT
Voice Translate does not currently require or operate a server-side user account.
You may delete locally stored App data by using:
Settings > My Account > Delete Account & Data
This action removes App-controlled local information such as:
- translation history;
- AI notes;
- locally saved AI-note attachments or recordings;
- App preferences;
- locally stored travel information;
- consent preferences; and
- App-created secure-storage entries.
This action does not delete:
- App Store subscription records maintained by Apple;
- Apple purchase receipts controlled by the system;
- information already processed by a third-party provider under its applicable terms; or
- system-level information controlled by Apple.
Withdrawing AI permission blocks new AI transmissions but does not automatically delete information previously processed by a provider.
To request assistance with deletion or another privacy request, contact:
dangthixuanhuongdn@gmail.com
12. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information.
Network requests to listed providers use encrypted transport such as HTTPS or secure WebSocket connections where supported.
Locally stored information is protected by the security features of iOS and the user’s device.
However, no transmission or storage method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Third-party providers may process information in countries or regions outside your place of residence, including locations where privacy laws may differ.
Where required, we and our providers rely on appropriate legal and contractual safeguards for international data transfers.
More information about provider processing locations and safeguards is available in each provider’s privacy and data-processing documentation.
14. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Voice Translate is not directed to children under the minimum age required to provide valid consent under applicable law without permission from a parent or legal guardian.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from a child in violation of applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal data without appropriate authorization, contact us at:
dangthixuanhuongdn@gmail.com
We will review the request and take appropriate action.
15. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- request access to personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate data;
- request deletion of data;
- withdraw consent;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- request a portable copy of eligible data; and
- submit a complaint to an applicable data-protection authority.
Because Voice Translate does not currently maintain a server-side user account, much of the content you create is stored only on your device and can be managed or deleted directly within the App.
To submit a privacy request, contact:
dangthixuanhuongdn@gmail.com
We may need to verify the request before responding.
16. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES
The App may contain links to third-party websites, privacy policies, support pages, or services.
This Privacy Policy does not control the independent privacy practices of third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of each third-party service you use.
17. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, service providers, legal requirements, or privacy practices change.
The updated policy will display a revised “Last updated” date.
When required by law, we will provide additional notice or request renewed consent before applying a material change to previously collected personal data.
