Privacy Policy
You can record, play, import, and manage audio on your device. With your permission, real-time transcription sends audio to Tencent Cloud. Apple may process audio when you generate a transcript; after transcription, and only if you consent to text processing, the full transcript is sent through our server to DeepSeek. You can decide separately whether to enable Tencent Cloud real-time transcription and whether to authorize Apple Speech Recognition and DeepSeek together for “Generate Transcript.”
1. Data we process
Recordings, imported files, and content on your device
The app stores recorded audio and its title, creation date, duration, transcript, and summary on your device for recording, playback, search, editing, export, and deletion. You may also select audio or video with the system Files picker, or select a video with the system Photos picker. The app extracts the audio and saves it as a recording. The selected source file is used to complete that import. Recording and importing alone do not send content to a third-party AI service.
Tencent Cloud real-time transcription
When you enable real-time transcription and consent in the app, microphone audio is sent to Tencent Cloud Real-Time Speech Recognition to produce text. It may contain your voice, other people's voices, and personal information in the conversation. Declining this permission does not prevent recording, playback, or recording management.
Apple Speech Recognition and DeepSeek text processing
When you tap “Generate Transcript” for a saved recording, the app first asks you to consent to sending the resulting transcript to DeepSeek for text organization. If you decline, “Generate Transcript” stops and Apple Speech Recognition does not start. If you consent, the app then requests system Speech Recognition permission and uses Apple Speech Recognition on the selected recording. Whether audio is processed on the device depends on your device, system, and language settings. Once transcribed, the complete text is sent through our service at easyjava.online to DeepSeek for punctuation and paragraph organization. Requesting a summary also sends the complete transcript. Transcripts may contain conversations and personal information. Do not use this feature for content you do not want processed in the cloud. Declining permission does not affect basic recording or playback.
iCloud sync
If you enable “Sync Recordings to iCloud,” recording files and metadata such as title, date, duration, transcript, and summary are written to your iCloud container for restoration and use across devices. Turning off sync stops future synchronization. To remove existing synced data, use Settings → Data Management in the app or Apple's iCloud controls.
Subscription verification and security data
To verify Plus access, the app sends the App Store receipt, app identifier, and necessary device integrity verification information to easyjava.online. When the app is online, it also sends the app interface language to jiacheng.center to request service configuration and subscription plans. These requests may occur even if you have not submitted feedback. The data is used for subscription verification, request authentication, service configuration, showing applicable plans, and abuse prevention.
Feedback
When you submit feedback, the app sends its content, any contact details you enter, app version, app interface language, submission time, and a feedback reference number to our service at jiacheng.center. The records are stored in Alibaba Cloud Table Store to respond to and resolve feedback. “Interface language” is not device location. Sending feedback is optional for basic recording.
2. Recipients and purposes
- Tencent Cloud: processes audio streams when you authorize real-time transcription; Tencent Cloud Privacy Statement.
- DeepSeek: processes complete transcripts when you authorize text processing; DeepSeek Privacy Policy.
- Apple: provides App Store subscriptions, Speech Recognition, and iCloud when enabled.
- easyjava.online: our content relay, subscription verification, and authentication service.
- jiacheng.center: receives service configuration and subscription plan requests and the app interface language when the app is online, as well as feedback you choose to submit and its associated information.
- Alibaba Cloud Table Store: stores feedback you choose to submit and its associated information so we can handle and respond to it.
We do not sell recordings, transcripts, or summaries, or provide them to ad networks or data brokers. We require recipients of user data to provide protection at least equivalent to this policy and applicable law, and to process it only for the stated purposes.
3. Consent and withdrawal
Before audio is first sent to Tencent Cloud or transcript text is first sent to easyjava.online and DeepSeek, the app identifies the recipient, data, and purpose and asks for your explicit consent. You can withdraw either permission separately in Settings → Data Management. Withdrawal stops new transmissions of that kind. You can manage microphone and Speech Recognition permissions in iOS Settings. Withdrawal does not automatically recall data already sent; you may request deletion as described below.
4. Retention and deletion
- Local recordings and metadata remain until you delete them or uninstall the app. You can delete an individual recording in the recording list, or delete both local and iCloud recordings in Settings → Data Management.
- Synced iCloud recordings are managed through your iCloud account. Turning off sync does not automatically remove existing copies; the app offers a separate deletion action.
- easyjava.online processes complete transcripts, App Store receipts, and authentication information when you request the relevant feature. jiacheng.center processes service configuration and subscription plan requests. If we retain related request data or technical logs to provide these services, each record is kept for no more than 180 days from when it was first created.
- Your feedback content, contact details, and associated information are stored in Alibaba Cloud to handle and respond to feedback, for no more than 180 days from submission of that feedback.
The 180-day period is a maximum for the cloud records under our control described above, not a mandatory retention period. We will delete or anonymize records earlier when the purpose is fulfilled, the records are no longer needed, or applicable law requires us to act on a deletion request, withdrawal of consent, or similar request. In any event, we will delete or anonymize them by the end of that period. Backups are subject to the same maximum. If a backup cannot be cleared immediately, the relevant records will no longer be used for business processing and will be deleted or anonymized within the original retention period. Updating a record or creating or restoring a backup does not restart that period. Where law requires longer retention, we retain only the necessary records required by law, restrict processing to storage and necessary security protection, and delete or anonymize them when the legally required period ends.
When iCloud sync is on, deleting an individual recording in the app also attempts to delete its iCloud copy. If sync is off, deleting the local recording does not delete an existing iCloud copy. Settings → Data Management also offers separate actions to delete only iCloud recordings or both local and iCloud recordings; check the app’s result message. Deleting a local recording does not automatically delete data previously sent to speech recognition, AI, or subscription verification services, or feedback you submitted. You may request access, correction, or deletion of records under our control using the contact details below. The 180-day maximum does not apply to recordings on your device or iCloud copies you manage. Data independently controlled by third parties such as Tencent Cloud, DeepSeek, and Apple is retained under their privacy policies, applicable service terms, and law. Where applicable, we will help you submit deletion requests to those providers.
You can request access, correction, deletion, or help withdrawing consent through Settings → Feedback or email. We may verify your request and will respond within the time required by applicable law.
5. Security and international processing
The app uses measures including HTTPS to protect data sent to our servers and limits access to what is needed for the relevant feature. Apple Speech Recognition, iCloud, and third-party cloud services may process data in different countries or regions under their service configurations. Where personal information is transferred outside China, we will provide any additional notices, seek any separate consent, and complete other steps required by applicable law.
6. Minors
The app is not directed primarily to children. Minors should use cloud audio or text processing with a parent or guardian's consent and guidance and avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive personal information.
7. Changes and contact
If the data, purpose, or recipients materially change, we will update this policy and seek consent again where required. For questions or requests about data processing, contact us through Settings → Feedback or majianning@jiacheng.center.
