Voicetation Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 4, 2026

Voicetation is a voice-input keyboard for iOS. This policy explains what data the app handles and how. The short version: we have no accounts, no tracking, and no advertising. Audio is used only to produce your transcription and is not stored.

1. Data we process

• Audio recordings. When you tap the microphone and speak, the Voicetation main app records audio and uploads it over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) to our transcription server, solely to convert your speech to text.
• Transcription language preference and keyboard settings. Stored locally on your device only (shared between the app and its keyboard via Apple's App Groups mechanism). They never leave your device.
• Personal typing dictionary. The Chinese pinyin keyboard learns which words you pick to rank suggestions better. This data is stored locally on your device only and is never uploaded.

2. How audio is handled

• Audio is uploaded to our own server (hosted on Cloudflare), which forwards it to Together AI (together.ai), a third-party speech-recognition provider running the Whisper model, to produce the transcription.
• Our server keeps audio only in transient memory/temporary storage for the duration of the request and deletes it immediately after forwarding. We do not store, archive, or reuse your audio or transcriptions.
• Together AI processes the audio as a data processor to return the transcription. See Together AI's privacy policy.

3. What we do NOT do

• No user accounts, no registration — we cannot identify who you are.
• No tracking, no analytics SDKs, no advertising, no sale of data.
• The keyboard extension itself makes no network requests. Everything you type stays on your device; typing is never collected or transmitted.
• We do not collect contacts, location, photos, or any other personal data.

4. Permissions

• Microphone — required to record your voice for transcription. Requested only when you first use voice input.
• Keyboard Full Access — required only so the keyboard can hand off recording to the main app and receive the transcribed text back (via App Groups, locally on your device). It is not used to collect what you type.

5. Data retention & your choices

• Audio: deleted immediately after transcription; not retained.
• Local settings and personal dictionary: remain on your device; removed when you delete the app.
• You can stop all data processing at any time by not using voice input or uninstalling the app.
