REPLAYWORD PRIVACY POLICYLast Updated: 22.07.2025## OverviewReplayWord is designed with privacy at its core. We believe your personal information should stay personal. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.## Information We Collect### Subscription Information Only- What: Purchase history and subscription status
- Source: Apple's App Store through StoreKit
- Purpose: Verify your subscription and provide premium features
- Storage: Managed by Apple, not stored on our servers### What We DON'T Collect- ❌ Text content you enter or scan
- ❌ Audio recordings or voice data
- ❌ Usage statistics or app behavior
- ❌ Personal information (name, email, contacts)
- ❌ Location data
- ❌ Device identifiers for tracking
- ❌ Crash reports or performance data
- ❌ Search history or app interactions## Device Permissions### Microphone Access- Permission Requested: Yes
- Current Use: For recording audio
- Purpose: Audio is processed locally on the device using Apple's AVAudioRecorder for recording and AVAudioEngine for capturing audio buffers that are sent to the speech recognition service. The app creates high-quality AAC format recordings that can be saved for future use.
- Your Privacy: Recorded audio is stored locally on the user's device in the app's documents directory. The app does not upload or share raw audio recordings with any third-party services except for Apple's Speech Recognition service for transcription purposes.
- Your Control: You can deny microphone access - app functions fully without it### Speech Recognition- Purpose: Speech recognition is used to convert spoken words (either from live recordings or audio files) into text. This enables users to transcribe lectures, notes, or any spoken content for memorization or study purposes.
- Processing: The app uses Apple's native SFSpeechRecognizer framework to process audio and convert it to text. Recognition requests are processed through Apple's servers but are not stored permanently.
- Background Play: Speech recognition only functions when the app is actively being used in the foreground. Recognition tasks are canceled when the app enters the background to preserve privacy and battery life.
- Privacy: Transcribed text is stored locally on the device. While audio must be sent to Apple's servers for processing during transcription, this follows Apple's privacy guidelines and the data is not retained after processing. No transcription data is shared with third parties.### File Access- Purpose: File access allows users to import existing audio files (such as lectures, voice memos, or music) for transcription or direct playback in the memorization system, eliminating the need to re-record content. Additionally, the app accesses the photo library to import images for text scanning and recognition, enabling users to digitize printed text from books, documents, or handwritten notes.
- Processing: When a user selects an audio file, the app creates a copy in its documents directory to ensure persistent access. For transcription, the file is processed through Apple's Speech Recognition service. For playback, the app uses AVAudioPlayer to handle various audio formats. For images from the photo library, the app uses Apple's Vision framework with VNRecognizeTextRequest to extract text from images locally on the device.
- Background Play: Imported audio files can be played in the background using AVAudioSession with the playback category, allowing users to listen to their memorization content while using other apps. Image processing occurs only when the app is in the foreground and completes quickly after image selection.
- Privacy: Imported audio files and images remain on the user's device and are not uploaded to any servers except temporarily to Apple's Speech Recognition service if audio transcription is requested. Image text recognition is performed entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework. The app does not analyze or extract metadata from audio files or images beyond what's needed for playback, transcription, and text recognition. Users have full control over which specific images and audio files they choose to import.### Camera and Photo Access- Purpose: Extract text from documents and photos for memorization
- Processing: All OCR (text recognition) happens on your device
- Storage: Scanned images are not saved; only extracted text is temporarily used
- Sharing: No images or extracted text are transmitted anywhere### Audio Output- Purpose: Text-to-speech functionality for memorization
- Processing: Uses device's built-in speech synthesis
