Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

2. Audio Recording

TalkSight records conversations using your iPhone's microphone. The audio recording is stored locally on your device. Microphone permission is explicitly requested before the first recording and can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings.

3. AI-Powered Analysis

For analysis, audio is sent encrypted via our Firebase Cloud Functions (EU, europe-west1) to Google Gemini (USA). The AI creates a transcript as well as speaker detection, talk/listen balance, interruptions, emotional signals, and a communication profile. This only happens with your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you grant during onboarding and can revoke at any time in the app settings.

4. Data Processing During Analysis

Audio data is deleted from the server immediately after processing (within a few minutes at most). No permanent cloud storage takes place. Analysis results are stored exclusively on your device.

5. Recipients and Third-Country Transfers

The following recipients process data on your behalf:

• Google LLC (USA) — Gemini API for AI analysis, Firebase Cloud Functions (EU, europe-west1) and Firestore for trial tracking. Safeguard: EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Google's Data Processing Addendum.
• RevenueCat, Inc. (USA) — Subscription management with anonymized user ID. Safeguard: EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
