Privacy Policy: Private AI Voice Recorder
Private AI Voice Recorder ("the app") is made by J&T INNO SERVICES DE CONSULTATION ("we"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app. The short version: we don't collect any data. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device.
What the app does with your information
- Audio and text stay on your device. The app records audio and turns it into text on your iPhone or iPad. Recording, transcription, search, playback and export all happen on the device.
- On-device processing; Apple billing. Audio and text processing stays on your device. Apple handles subscription purchases and entitlement checks with an internet connection; audio and text are not uploaded for processing. The app keeps verified subscription entitlement state locally. We do not operate a billing server or receive your payment details.
- No account. There is no sign-up and no sign-in. We don't know who you are.
- No analytics, no ads, no tracking. The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code, and no third-party code that sends data anywhere.
- We never receive your recordings or transcripts. Nothing you record or type is sent to us or to anyone else by the app.
The microphone
The app asks for access to the microphone the first time you record. It uses the microphone only while you are recording: from the moment you tap Start until you tap Stop. Recording continues if you lock the screen or switch to another app, so an interview isn't cut off; iOS shows its recording indicator while this happens. You can turn microphone access off at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone.
Files you import
If you import an audio or video file (from the Files app or another app's Share menu), the app makes its own copy on your device and turns it into text there. The original stays where it was.
Sharing and export
Your recordings and transcripts leave the device only when you choose to send them. When you export a transcript, the app creates the file on the device and opens the standard iOS share sheet. Where the file goes next (for example Mail, Messages, Files or another app) is your choice, and from then on that app's or service's privacy policy applies. The app deletes its temporary copy when the share sheet closes.
Backups
- Off by default. Recordings and transcripts are excluded from your device's backups unless you turn on Settings › Include in device backups in the app. Apple's documentation describes this exclusion as applying to the device backup, which covers iCloud Backup and backups made with a computer.
- If you turn it on, your recordings become part of your device backups (iCloud Backup, or a backup made with a computer) under your Apple Account and your iOS settings. That backup is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy; it is never sent to us.
- The app's preferences (such as your recording settings) are stored like any app's settings and are included in device backups. They contain no audio or transcript text.
Security on the device
Recordings and transcripts are stored with iOS Data Protection: they are encrypted and locked with your device passcode.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your recordings stay on your device until you delete them. You can delete a recording (its audio and text) in the app at any time. Deleting the app deletes all its recordings and transcripts from the device, except any copies you exported yourself or an iCloud Backup you chose to make. Because we hold none of your data, there is nothing for us to delete or hand over.
Crash reports from Apple
If you have turned on Share With App Developers in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements, Apple may share crash reports and usage statistics about the app with us. Apple collects these, not the app, and you control them in iOS Settings. They don't contain your recordings or transcripts.
Children
The app is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
If you contact us
If you email us for support, we receive what you choose to send (your email address and message). We use it only to answer you, don't share it, and delete it when your question is resolved. Please don't send recordings or transcripts unless you want us to see them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. If the app ever starts collecting data, we will say so here and in the app's App Store privacy details before that version is released.
