Voice Notes AITalk to Text

Privacy Policy

Your voice, and your notes, stay yours.

This policy explains what Voice Notes AI collects, what it never touches, and the controls you have. In plain language, with the fine print where it belongs.

Last updated July 4, 2026 Effective July 4, 2026 Version 1.0

Privacy at a glance

The short version

If you read nothing else, read this. Everything below is the detail behind these five promises.

Speech-to-text on your device

Your voice is turned into text on the phone. Audio recordings are never uploaded.

No account, no login

You never sign up. There's no email or password tied to your notes.

Notes live on your phone

Your notes and attachments are stored locally, under your control.

Non-personalized ads only

The free tier shows ads that are not based on a personal profile of you.

We never sell your data

We don't sell or rent your personal information. Full stop.

Voice Notes AI: Talk to Text (the "app", "we", "us") is a voice-notes app that records what you say, turns it into text on your device, and uses AI to shape that text into a clean summary, to-do list, message, email, meeting notes, or invoice — and to translate it. This Privacy Policy describes how the app handles information when you use it.

By using Voice Notes AI, you agree to the practices described here. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

02

What we collect

We collect as little as possible, and most of it never leaves your device. Here's the full picture.

Voice & audio recordings

When you record, the app captures audio through your microphone and your device's speech recognition converts it to text on the device. The audio recording is used to produce the transcript and is not uploaded to us or any third party.

Transcript & note text

To turn a raw transcript into structured formats — or to translate a note — the text of your note is sent securely to our processing service, which uses a third-party AI provider (OpenRouter) to do the work. This happens in real time. We do not store your transcript or the structured note on our servers; the finished result is returned to your device and saved there.

Device identifier & device info

Because there's no login, your device is identified by a random per-device ID (an iOS keychain-backed UUID or the Android device ID). We register this ID together with basic device information (such as platform, OS version, model, app version, and language) so we can apply fair-use limits and remember your subscription. This is stored in our database keyed to the device ID — not to your name.

Subscription & purchase information

If you buy Premium, purchases are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play and managed through RevenueCat. We receive your subscription status (active plan, renewal, expiry) — never your card number or full payment details — and store it against your device ID.

Attachments

If you attach a photo, take a picture, or attach a PDF to a note, that file is stored locally on your device with the note. Attachments are not uploaded to our servers.

Reminders & notifications

If you enable reminders, the app schedules local notifications on your device and may register a notification token so reminders can be delivered.

Minimal diagnostics

To keep the service reliable we keep limited server logs — for example an error reason and the number of words in a request. We never log the content of your notes or transcripts.

What we do not collect: your name, email, contacts, precise location, or a marketing profile. You use the app without ever telling us who you are.

03

How we use your information

  • To run the core feature — convert speech to text and structure or translate your notes.
  • To keep the service fair and available — apply per-device usage limits so the AI service isn't abused.
  • To manage Premium — recognize your subscription and remove ads for paying users.
  • To show ads on the free tier — request non-personalized ads from Google AdMob.
  • To deliver reminders — schedule and send the notifications you ask for.
  • To fix problems — diagnose errors using minimal, content-free logs.

We do not use your information for advertising profiles, and we do not sell it. We process it only for the purposes above.

04

On-device processing

Speech recognition runs on your phone using the operating system's built-in capability. This means the app can turn your voice into text without streaming your audio to us. The only thing that ever leaves your device for AI processing is the text you choose to structure or translate — and even that is processed transiently and not stored.

Our AI backend is stateless: no audio upload, no note storage, no per-note records. Your notes are cached only on your own device.

05

Third-party services

We rely on a small set of trusted providers to run the app. Each receives only what it needs, for the purpose shown.

ServicePurposeWhat it can receive
Google FirebaseBackend, database & cloud functionsDevice ID, device info, subscription status
OpenRouterAI structuring & translationThe text of the note being processed (not stored)
Google AdMobAds on the free tierAd-request signals for non-personalized ads
RevenueCatSubscription managementPurchase & entitlement data tied to device ID
Apple App Store / Google PlayPayments & distributionYour payment details (handled entirely by them)

Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review Google's, OpenRouter's, RevenueCat's, Apple's, and Google Play's policies for their practices.

06

Advertising

The free tier is supported by ads served through Google AdMob. We request non-personalized ads only, which means ads are based on general context rather than a personal profile built from your activity. Ads may appear as you save a note.

Premium users see no ads at all. Upgrading to Premium disables advertising entirely.

07

Data storage & retention

  • On your device — your notes, every generated format, and attachments are stored locally. They remain until you delete them or uninstall the app.
  • On our servers — we retain your device registration and subscription status for as long as you use the app, so limits and Premium keep working across sessions.
  • Transcripts & audio — never stored on our servers. Text is processed in real time and discarded; audio never leaves your device.

Uninstalling the app removes the notes and attachments stored on your device. To have your device record removed from our servers, contact us (see below).

08

Permissions we request

The app asks only for the permissions it needs, at the moment it needs them. You can decline or revoke any of these in your device settings — some features simply won't work without them.

Microphone

To hear you and record your voice notes.

Speech recognition

To convert your speech into text on the device.

Photos

To attach images from your library to a note.

Camera

To capture a photo directly for a note.

Notifications

To send the reminders you schedule for your notes.

09

Your choices & rights

  • Delete a note — remove any note (and its attachments) from within the app at any time.
  • Remove everything — uninstalling the app deletes the notes and attachments stored on your device.
  • Turn off ads — upgrade to Premium to remove advertising.
  • Revoke permissions — change microphone, camera, photos, or notification access in your device settings.
  • Request deletion — email us to have your device record erased from our servers.

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have additional rights to access, correct, or delete your data. Because we don't hold data that identifies you personally, we may ask for your device ID to locate any record. Contact us and we'll help.

10

Children's privacy

Voice Notes AI is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we'll remove it.

11

Security & international transfers

Data in transit is protected with encryption (HTTPS/TLS). No method of transmission or storage is ever 100% secure, but we design the app to hold as little of your data as possible in the first place — which is the strongest protection there is.

Our processing runs on Google Cloud in the Mumbai (asia-south1) region, and our AI provider may process the text you submit on servers located outside your country. By using the app, you consent to your information being processed in these locations.

12

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we make a material change, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use Voice Notes AI after an update means you accept the revised policy.
