Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 11, 2025
Thank you for using Spokenly! We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information you may provide. Currently, our application is free and does not include ads. Below, you'll find details on how we handle data, specifically regarding your audio recordings.
1. Data Collection and Use
Spokenly operates with a privacy-first approach. We don't require personal information or registration.
Our in-house analytics:
- Only collects basic app usage data (button clicks and page views inside app)
- Never includes any audio recordings or transcribed content
- Is used solely to improve app functionality and user experience
- Contains no personally identifiable information
2. Audio and Transcription
Our analytics tracking does not collect or analyze any details about the content of your spoken audio. Your speech content remains private and is only processed for transcription purposes.
Spokenly captures your voice input and sends the corresponding audio file to our backend for transcription purposes. Our backend does not store these recordings. Instead, it immediately forwards them to third-party transcription services to perform the speech-to-text transcription.
We make no permanent copy of your recordings on our servers. Any temporary copies in transit are used solely to facilitate transcription. Nonetheless, you should be aware that your audio data is transmitted over the internet and handled by our third-party providers in accordance with their own privacy practices.
3. Third-Party Services
We may use some providers such as Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and Fireworks to support app features. We choose models that do not use your data for training, to better protect your privacy. While we do not keep your audio data, these third-party providers may process and/or store certain data for their own purposes. We recommend reviewing their respective Privacy Policies if you have any concerns about how they handle user data.
4. Children's Privacy
Spokenly is not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly collect any information from minors. Since no personal data is requested or retained, children's specific privacy protections are not triggered. We encourage parents and guardians to guide minors regarding safe online behaviors.
5. Data Security
Although we do not store your data, we take industry-standard security measures to protect the transfer of audio recordings to our backend and on to our third-party transcription services. We strive to keep our service secure, but we cannot guarantee absolute protection of data transmitted across the internet.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy over time as Spokenly grows and changes. Any revisions will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
