Privacy Policy for Gindly

Last Updated: March 30, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Gindly. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a transparent experience regarding the data we collect and how it is used. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding AI interactions, microphone usage, and file analysis.

2. Microphone Access (android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO)

Our application requires access to your device's microphone to provide the core functionality of converting your spoken words into text messages.

• Purpose: The microphone is used only when you actively trigger the voice recording feature.
• Activation: Recording starts only when you press the record button and automatically stops after a period of silence (detected locally on your device).

3. Voice Data Processing & Third-Party Services

To provide high-quality transcription, Gindly uses Google Cloud Speech-to-Text services.

• Data Transfer: Encrypted audio snippets (Base64 encoded) are sent to Google Cloud servers for transcription.
• No Permanent Storage: We do not store your audio files on our servers. Once the transcription is completed, the audio data is discarded.

4. AI Chat and Data Processing

Gindly uses advanced AI models to generate responses and analyze content.

• Input Data: Text messages you send to AI assistants are transmitted to our API partners (such as Google Gemini and OpenAI) exclusively to generate a response.
• No Training: Your private chats are not used to train global AI models or third-party machine learning algorithms.

5. File Analysis (PDF, MP3, and Documents)

The app allows the analysis of files that you voluntarily upload.

• Ephemeral Analysis: When you upload a PDF or MP3 for analysis, the file is processed temporarily to extract insights.
• Security: Your documents are private and are not accessible to other users or third parties.

6. MP3 and Audio Analysis

• Processing: Audio files uploaded for analysis are transcribed or summarized in real-time.
• Retention: These files are not stored on our permanent servers after the analysis session is concluded.

7. AI Image Generation

When using the AI image generation feature:

• Prompts: Textual descriptions (prompts) are sent to image generation services.
• Storage: Generated images are stored locally on your device or in your secured chat history.

8. Text-to-Speech (TTS)

• Processing: Text you wish to convert to speech is sent to Google Cloud TTS services.
• Streaming: The data is processed in real-time, and the audio is streamed back to your device without being stored on our servers.

9. Data Retention & Security

• Audio/Files: Temporary data used for transcription or analysis is deleted immediately after the task is finished.
• Text Data: Your chat history is handled according to standard encryption protocols and is stored only to provide you with access to your past conversations.

10. Third-Party Sub-processors

Gindly partners with trusted providers to deliver AI features:

• Google Cloud Platform (Speech-to-Text, TTS, Gemini API).
• Google Play Billing (for managing subscriptions and purchase history).
• OpenAI (GPT models and AI services).

All providers comply with industry-standard security regulations.
