Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the services provided through the Wisribe – Voice Recorder mobile application (the “App”). When you use the App, your personal data is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws and regulations.

1. Introduction

At Wisribe, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data is collected when you use the Wisribe – Voice Recorder app, the purposes for which it is processed, how it is protected, and the rights you may have regarding your personal data.

The App offers features such as audio recording, removing silent portions from recordings using the Silence Filter, adding voice and text notes, and organizing recordings into groups. Audio recording and Silence Filter processing take place on your device. During these operations, your audio and video content is not sent to Wisribe’s servers for the purpose of performing these core recording and filtering functions.

However, certain personal or technical data may be processed for purposes such as account management, subscription administration, app usage analytics, displaying advertisements, and identifying technical issues. The scope and details of these activities are explained in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

When using the App, you may provide us with the following information directly:

• Contact information: Information and messages you share with us through support requests, email, or other communication channels.

Audio recordings created through the App, recordings generated using the Silence Filter, voice notes, and text notes are stored on your device or in the App’s local database.

Further details about how this content is stored and deleted are provided in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

To operate the App, manage accounts and subscriptions, support security, identify technical issues, and evaluate the user experience, the following information may be collected or processed:

• Device and app information: Technical information such as your device manufacturer and model, Android operating system version, app version, and build number.
• Regional and connection information: Your device’s language settings, time zone, country information where necessary, and network connection type.
• Account and session information: Information related to account creation, sign-in, and session management. The scope of this information depends on the data provided by the authentication service and how the App operates.

Some of this information may be processed through third-party service providers, such as Firebase Authentication, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Cloud Messaging, to support the operation of the relevant services. For subscriptions, Google Play and other relevant service providers may process certain purchase and subscription information, depending on the payment and subscription management infrastructure used.

The types of information collected may vary depending on the features you use within the App and the technical operation of the relevant services.

4. Third-Party Service Providers and Local Processing

Wisribe – Voice Recorder offers features such as audio recording, the Silence Filter, adding voice notes, creating text notes, and organizing recordings into groups. Audio recording and Silence Filter processing take place on your device. Your audio and video content is not sent to Wisribe’s servers during these core operations.

Certain third-party service providers, such as Firebase Authentication, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Cloud Messaging, may be used to support specific App functions. These services may process certain account or technical data for purposes such as authentication, usage analytics, identifying technical issues, and delivering push notifications.

In addition, third-party service providers such as Google Play and any subscription management services used may be involved in managing subscriptions and in-app purchases. The data processed by these providers is subject to the operation of the relevant services and their respective privacy policies.

The data processing activities of third-party service providers are considered in accordance with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and applicable laws and regulations. Further information about the identity of the relevant providers, the data they process, and how that data is protected is provided in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, in the providers’ own privacy policies.

5. Data Retention

Audio recordings created through the App, audio files generated using the Silence Filter, and voice notes are stored on your device. Text notes are stored in the App’s local database. This content is not sent to Wisribe’s servers for the purpose of providing the core functionality of these features.

How long content stored on your device or in the App’s local database is retained depends on factors such as whether you delete the files or notes, remove the relevant data from your device or the App, and your device settings.

If you create an account, your account information and associated data may be retained for as long as necessary to provide your account and the related services.

If you delete your account, personal data associated with your account may be retained to the extent necessary for legitimate purposes, such as complying with legal obligations, preventing fraud and misuse, or resolving potential disputes. The deletion of data stored in backups may also take additional time, depending on the applicable backup procedures. Data that must be retained by law may be kept for the periods required under applicable legislation.

The retention periods for data processed by third-party service providers may vary depending on the nature of the service, the provider’s retention policies, and applicable laws and regulations.

6. Data Security

We aim to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. Depending on the services used and the nature of the data processed, these measures may include access controls, secure communication methods, and security mechanisms provided by third-party service providers.

Content such as audio recordings, files generated using the Silence Filter, and voice notes is processed on your device as part of the core operation of the relevant features. The security of this content may also depend on your device’s security settings and how you control access to your device.

However, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we strive to take appropriate measures to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
