Privacy Policy

1.Introduction

SpeedyTrans ("we," "us," or "our") is a mobile application (available on iOS and Android) that provides speech-to-text transcription services, with both on-device and optional cloud-based processing. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the SpeedyTrans application (the "App").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy is designed to be transparent about our data practices, which are intentionally minimal: we do not collect personal data.

By using SpeedyTrans, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.

2.Information We Do Not Collect

When using on-device models (Tiny, Small, Medium), SpeedyTrans collects no personal information. Specifically:

• No audio data. When using on-device models, audio captured through your microphone is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted, uploaded, or stored outside of your device. (See Section 3 for Cloud mode.)
• No transcripts or text. The text generated by transcribing your speech is stored locally on your device only. We never receive, access, or transmit your transcription history.
• No personal identifiers. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, Apple ID, device identifier, IP address, or any other information that could identify you.
• No usage analytics. We do not track which features you use, how often you open the App, session duration, or any other behavioral data.
• No crash reporting data. The App does not use any third-party crash reporting SDK. If the App crashes, no data is transmitted to us or any third party.
• No location data. The App does not request or use your location at any time.
• No contacts, photos, or other sensitive data. The App only requests microphone permission and does not access any other data on your device.

3.Optional Cloud Transcription

SpeedyTrans offers an optional Cloud transcription mode for faster, more thorough results. When you select the Cloud model, your audio is transmitted to our server for processing. This feature is entirely opt-in — you must explicitly consent before Cloud mode is activated.

• Explicit consent required. A clear warning dialog is shown before Cloud mode is first activated, explaining that your audio will leave your device.
• No data retention. Audio is streamed to the AI service, transcribed, and the results are returned to your device. No copies are kept.
• You control the choice. You can switch between on-device and Cloud models at any time. On-device models remain fully private with zero network transmission.
• Third-party processing. Cloud transcription is powered by Google Gemini via OpenRouter. Their processing is subject to their respective privacy policies.

4.Microphone Access

SpeedyTrans requires access to your device's microphone solely to capture audio for transcription. This is the core function of the App. Microphone access is used only while you are actively recording within the App.

You can revoke microphone permission at any time through your device’s system settings under the app’s privacy or permissions controls. Revoking this permission will prevent the App from recording audio, but you will still be able to view previously saved transcriptions.

5.On-Device Processing

SpeedyTrans offers on-device AI models that run entirely on your device. When using on-device models (Tiny, Small, Medium), no audio or text is sent to any external service during transcription. The optional Cloud model transmits audio to our server for processing (see Section 3).

The AI model file may be downloaded from the internet the first time you use the App. This download is the only network request the App makes. The model file contains no personal data. After download, the App operates fully offline.

6.Local Storage

Transcription history, app preferences, and any other data generated by your use of SpeedyTrans are stored locally on your device.

• This data is accessible only to the SpeedyTrans App on your device.
• Deleting the App from your device will permanently delete all locally stored data.
• You can delete individual transcriptions from within the App at any time.

7.No Third-Party Services or SDKs

With the exception of the optional Cloud transcription feature (see Section 3), SpeedyTrans does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, crash reporting, or social media SDKs. The App does not contain any of the following or their equivalents:

• Analytics platforms (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude)
• Advertising networks or attribution tools (e.g., Facebook SDK, Adjust, AppsFlyer)
• Crash and performance monitoring (e.g., Crashlytics, Sentry)
• Social login or social sharing SDKs
• Customer support or chat SDKs

Outside of the opt-in Cloud feature, no third party receives any information about you or your use of the App.

8.No User Accounts or Authentication

SpeedyTrans does not require or offer user accounts, registration, sign-in, or any form of authentication. You do not need to provide any personal information to download or use the App. All functionality is available without an account.

9.Data Security

When using on-device models, SpeedyTrans does not transmit or store personal data on any external server. When using Cloud mode, audio is transmitted securely and discarded immediately after processing (see Section 3). All transcription data remains on your device, protected by your device’s built-in security features.

10.Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will provide notice within the App or through the App Store update notes.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of SpeedyTrans after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We will never change this policy in a way that introduces new data collection without clearly notifying you.
