Privacy Policy for VoiceQuill

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how VoiceQuill ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

VoiceQuill is designed with privacy as a top priority. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Voice recordings or audio files
• Transcribed text or notes
• Personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Location data
• Usage analytics or statistics
• Crash reports containing personal data

3. How Your Data is Stored

All data generated by VoiceQuill is stored locally on your device:

• Voice Processing: Audio is processed using your device's built-in speech recognition system. No audio is recorded or transmitted to our servers or any third party.
• Transcriptions: All text transcriptions are stored in a local database (SQLite) on your device only.
• Complete Privacy: Your notes never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to share them using your device's sharing features.

4. Permissions Required

VoiceQuill requires the following permission to function:

• Microphone Access: Required to capture your voice for speech-to-text conversion. Audio is processed in real-time and is not stored or recorded.

You can revoke this permission at any time through your device settings, though this will prevent the app from functioning.

5. Third-Party Services

VoiceQuill uses your device's native speech recognition system (provided by Google on Android devices). Please refer to Google's privacy policy for information about how they handle speech recognition:

• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

VoiceQuill itself does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data. If you choose to use your device's sharing features (e.g., sharing a note via email or messaging), that sharing is handled by your device's operating system and the apps you choose to share with.

7. Children's Privacy

VoiceQuill does not knowingly collect any information from children or anyone else. The app is suitable for users of all ages as it does not collect personal information.

8. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, security depends on your device's security measures. We recommend:

• Using a secure device lock (PIN, password, or biometric)
• Keeping your device's operating system updated
• Being cautious about granting device access to others

9. Your Rights

Since we do not collect any personal data, there is no data for us to access, modify, or delete. You have complete control over your data:

• You can delete individual notes within the app
• You can uninstall the app to remove all local data
• You can revoke microphone permission at any time

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

11. International Users

VoiceQuill can be used worldwide. Since all data remains on your device, no international data transfers occur.

This privacy policy was created to be transparent about VoiceQuill's data practices and to comply with app store requirements. Your privacy is important to us.
