2. Use of Artificial Intelligence

The Application uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to simulate conversations and generate personalized feedback.

To provide these features, certain user data may be processed by trusted third-party service providers acting on our behalf as data processors.

This may include:

These providers include:

These providers process data solely to provide the Application's functionality and under obligations to ensure data protection and confidentiality.

We do not sell user data to third parties.

Where applicable, appropriate safeguards are implemented for international data transfers.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We may share limited data with third-party service providers only when necessary to:

  • Process audio and AI-generated responses

  • Analyze performance and improve reliability

This includes service providers such as Firebase and Sentry for analytics, monitoring, and error tracking. We do not sell personal data and do not share personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing networks.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Personal data and audio recordings are retained only for as long as necessary to provide the Application's services.

You can delete your account directly within the Application settings. Upon deletion, all associated personal data and content are scheduled for permanent deletion and will be removed from our systems within 24 hours, subject to technical processing limitations.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that such data has been collected, it will be deleted promptly.
