VoiceMemo
About this app
VoiceMemo turns your voice notes into searchable text and instant summaries. It uses Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model to transcribe audio and organize it into a clean structured note — title, summary, key points, and todos.
Privacy Policy
This policy describes what VoiceMemo collects and how we use it.
Data we collect
| Data | Linkage | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Audio recordings | Linked to you | Sent to Google Gemini for transcription. Stored encrypted in Firebase Storage if you enable cloud backup. |
| Transcripts and AI summaries | Linked to you | Stored in Firestore so you can search them across devices. |
| Firebase Auth user ID | Linked to you | Identifies your account. |
| Subscription receipts | Linked to you | Validates your Pro entitlement. |
| Crash diagnostics | Not linked to you | Anonymous reports to fix bugs. |
Third-party services
VoiceMemo relies on these services to function. Each is bound by its own privacy policy.
- Google Gemini API. Speech-to-text and summarization. Audio is sent over HTTPS. Google retains uploaded audio for at most 48 hours, then deletes it. We send no other personal info.
- Firebase Authentication. Manages your account login.
- Firebase Storage and Firestore. Stores your transcripts and (optionally) audio backups, encrypted at rest.
- Apple iCloud. Used only if you enable iCloud sync; controlled by your device settings.
AI processing
VoiceMemo sends some of your content to an AI model for processing. The AI provider receives only the content needed for the task — not your user ID, email, or any other personal identifier. We do not use your content to train any model.
Tracking
VoiceMemo does not track you across other apps or websites. We do not share data with advertising networks, analytics platforms used for cross-app profiling, or data brokers.
Your rights
- Access — request a copy of your data by emailing us.
- Delete — see Delete Account below.
- Correct — edit your profile in the app, or email us for help.
- Object — opt out of optional features in iOS Settings.
Data retention
We retain your data as long as your account exists. After you delete your account, all personal data is permanently removed within 30 days. Anonymous diagnostics may be retained longer in aggregated form.
Children's privacy
VoiceMemo is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy materially, we will notify you in the app and update the date at the bottom of this page.
