TalkScribe AI — Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
This document explains which data the TalkScribe AI Android app ("TalkScribe", "we", "app") processes, how we store it, and the rights you have.
Data We Collect
- Email (optional)
- Purpose: Sync Pro licenses and language favorites across devices.
- Sharing: Only used to link with Google Play Billing—never sold or shared.
- Device identifiers (Android ID, etc.)
- Purpose: Detect license limits (one vs. two devices) and prevent abuse.
- Sharing: Processed only on MuVuSOFT servers.
- Usage counters
- Purpose: Enforce the 10-minute free plan quota and monitor stability.
- Contents: Only duration data—no text or audio logs.
- Anonymous error logs
- General error codes for setup, mic permissions, and Google Speech API failures.
- No personal info, text, or audio is stored in these logs.
Data We Don’t Collect
- Audio: Google’s SpeechRecognizer runs on-device; we never receive your mic feed.
- Text content: Dictation stays inside your editor; nothing is uploaded.
- Payment details: Managed entirely by Google Play.
- Location or contacts: Never requested.
How We Use Data
- Power the core features: continuous dictation, voice commands, and language switching.
- Verify your free plan quota and Premium subscription status.
- Analyze error logs to fix Android-version-specific issues.
Microphone Access
TalkScribe AI requires microphone permission to convert your speech to text. Here's how we handle it:
- When active: Microphone is only accessed when you tap the dictation button.
- When stopped: Microphone access stops immediately when you tap stop or close the app.
- No background listening: The app never listens in the background or when minimized.
- On-device processing: Speech recognition uses Android's built-in SpeechRecognizer—audio is processed by Google's speech services, not our servers.
- No audio storage: We never record, store, or transmit your audio.
Sharing
- Google Play Billing: We only confirm purchase status or cancellations.
- No ad SDKs, third-party analytics, or data brokers are integrated.
Storage & Security
- App settings live in encrypted Android SharedPreferences.
- All server calls use HTTPS (TLS 1.2+).
- Data minimization: we retain only what’s required.
Retention & Deletion
- License records remain only while needed; unused entries auto-anonymize after 12 months.
- Email talkscribe_android@muvusoft.site to request deletion of all associated data.
Children’s Privacy
TalkScribe AI is a productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13.
Policy Updates
We may update this policy for new features or compliance. Major changes are announced inside the app.
