Parolo Voice to Text — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

1. Who we are

Avanues Ortiz, developer of Parolo Voice to Text (package com.parolo). Contact: manuelfonsi999@gmail.com.

2. Data we process

• Audio recordings and transcripts: recorded and transcribed on your device with an offline speech model (Whisper). Audio and text are stored only on your device and are never uploaded. You can choose not to keep the audio after transcription.
• Exports (.txt, .srt, .md): created on the device; you decide who to share them with using Android's share sheet.
• Speech model download: the first time, the app downloads the model file from Hugging Face. This request only includes standard technical data (such as your IP address); none of your recordings.
• Settings and profile name: stored only on your device.
• Purchase data: if you buy Premium, Google Play processes the payment, and RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, the purchase identifier and technical device data so it can verify the purchase. We never receive your payment details.

Ads (free version only): the free version shows ads from Google AdMob: a banner on secondary screens (notes list, profile), occasional full-screen ads at natural pauses, an ad when opening the app (with a cooldown) and, only if you choose, a rewarded video to export a file once. AdMob may collect the device advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP, and ad-interaction and diagnostic data to show, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud. Your audio, transcripts and notes are never sent to AdMob or anyone else. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent form (UMP) before personalised ads are shown; you can change it at any time in Profile › Ad privacy choices. Premium users get no ads and no ad requests are made. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings › Privacy › Ads. There is no separate analytics and you do not need an online account; the "local account" in Profile is only a name saved on your device.

3. Device permissions

• Microphone: only to record when you tap the record button.
• Foreground service and notifications: show an ongoing notification while recording or transcribing, so recording continues with the screen locked. You can turn notifications off in Android settings.
• Internet: to download the speech model once, for purchases and, in the free version, for ads and the consent form.
• Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID): used by AdMob in the free version as described above.

4. Purpose and legal basis (GDPR)

• Providing the features you ask for: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
• Handling and verifying purchases: contract and legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(b) and (c)).
• Fraud prevention for purchases: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Personalised ads: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)); non-personalised ads and ad fraud prevention: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).

5. Third parties

• Google Play / Google Play Billing / In-App Review: Google Privacy Policy.
• RevenueCat: RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
• Hugging Face (speech model download): Hugging Face Privacy Policy.
• Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform (UMP) (free version): Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses data from apps that use its services.

These providers may process data outside the European Economic Area under GDPR safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). We do not sell your data.

6. Retention

Local data stays until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. If Android backup is on, the system may include app data in your encrypted Google backup; you can turn this off in your phone settings. Google and RevenueCat keep purchase records as long as needed to manage purchases and meet legal obligations.

7. How to delete your data

App data is on your device: delete it in the app, clear the app's storage in Android settings, or uninstall the app. To delete purchase records linked to the app's anonymous ID at RevenueCat, email manuelfonsi999@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my data" and the app name; we will process the request within 30 days. Google Play purchase history is managed in your Google account.

8. Your rights

You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability by writing to manuelfonsi999@gmail.com. You may complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or your local authority.

9. Children

Parolo Voice to Text is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

10. Changes

If we change this policy, we will publish the new version here with its date.
