Privacy Policy

ToneScribe (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is developed and operated by Rahul Singh, an independent developer based in West Bengal, India. For the purposes of applicable privacy law, Rahul Singh is the data controller in respect of any personal data processed in connection with this app. You can contact us at support@tonescribe.com.

ToneScribe is designed so your voice, transcripts, notes, snippets, and dictionary entries are processed and stored on your device. We do not operate servers that receive, store, or process that personal content. Limited purchase information is handled by Apple and RevenueCat as described below, and support information is sent only when you choose to contact us.

The following table summarises all data processing that occurs in connection with your use of ToneScribe:

We do not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, or any other personal data as part of normal app usage.

ToneScribe requests microphone permission to transcribe your speech. During recording, audio may be written to a temporary file on your device so the on-device speech recognition engine can process it. The file is deleted after transcription or cancellation. Voice audio is not uploaded or transmitted to us, Apple, RevenueCat, or any other external service for transcription.

ToneScribe for iPhone includes an optional keyboard extension. When you enable it, iOS will ask whether to grant “Full Access.” We request this solely so the keyboard and main app can coordinate through a local App Group on your device, including dictation sessions, Dictionary entries, and Snippets. We do not log keystrokes, capture text typed in other apps, or send keyboard content to external servers.

Your transcripts, notes, snippets, dictionary entries, and settings are stored locally on your device. The app can automatically delete transcript history after the retention period you select, or keep it until you delete it. You can delete individual items, clear transcript history, or uninstall the app to remove its local data. Apple’s “Offload App” feature may preserve app data. We hold no server copy of your content. Local data may be included in device backups according to the backup settings you control.

Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases, restore access, and manage the ToneScribe Pro entitlement across supported ToneScribe apps. RevenueCat receives purchase history and an automatically generated anonymous app user ID. We do not provide RevenueCat with your name, email address, voice, transcripts, notes, or advertising identifier. We do not receive or store your full payment-card details or Apple ID. Apple’s and RevenueCat’s respective privacy policies apply to their processing.

If you use “Send Feedback,” ToneScribe opens your chosen mail app with a draft addressed to us. The draft includes the app version, device model, and operating-system version to help us investigate, and you can review or edit it before sending. If you send the email, we receive your email address, message, and those diagnostics. We use them only to respond to and investigate your request, and retain support emails only as long as reasonably necessary.

We do not use behavioural analytics, advertising SDKs, cross-app tracking, or third-party crash-reporting services. RevenueCat processes purchase history for app functionality, fraud prevention, and aggregate purchase analytics. It does not receive your voice or written content from ToneScribe.

We do not sell or rent personal data and do not use it for advertising. We disclose only the limited information needed to Apple and RevenueCat for purchases, and to email providers when you choose to send us a support message. We may also disclose information where required by law.

Your content remains on your device and is protected by the security features of your Apple device, including device encryption and your passcode or biometric authentication where enabled. We encourage you to keep your operating system up to date. Purchase and support information is protected by the security practices of Apple, RevenueCat, and the relevant email providers.

Regardless of where you live, you can:

• Access all your data directly within the app at any time
• Delete individual content, clear transcript history, or remove local app data by deleting the app
• Export your transcriptions by copying or sharing them from within the app

If you are in the EEA or UK (GDPR), you additionally have the right to:

• Rectification of inaccurate personal data
• Restriction of processing
• Data portability
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (a list is available at edpb.europa.eu)

If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to:

• Know what personal data we collect (see Section 3 above)
• Delete personal data we hold about you (support emails — contact us and we will comply)
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your data (we do not sell or share it)
• Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Most content-related rights are exercised directly on your device. For support emails or requests concerning purchase information processed through RevenueCat, contact us at support@tonescribe.com and we will respond within 30 days.

ToneScribe is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

ToneScribe is available globally. Your voice and written content is not transferred internationally by us. Purchase information handled by Apple and RevenueCat, and support emails sent through email providers, may be processed in other jurisdictions in accordance with their terms, privacy policies, and applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you via an in-app notice. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

For any privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact us at support@tonescribe.com. EEA and UK users may also contact their national data protection authority.
