1. Information We Collect
- Location Data (Optional): Used to detect when you are in a rideshare or taxi and to enable automatic ride-based translation. Location is used only while the app is active.
- Microphone Data (Optional): Used to capture your voice for real-time translation during rides. Audio is processed in real time and is not stored, sold, or shared.
- Calendar Data (Optional): If enabled, the app may view calendar events to assist with trip-related translations (e.g., directions to meetings). This is read-only and cannot be edited.
- Account Information: Your email and login credentials are used to create and manage your account.
- Translation Usage Data: We may process text or speech input for translation. This content is used only for providing the translation service.
2. How We Use Information
- Provide translations during rideshares and travel.
- Detect ride context (if location is enabled).
- Improve app features and user experience.
- Prevent fraud and manage paid passes.
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell or share personal data with third parties.
We use trusted third-party APIs (e.g., Google Cloud Translation, ChatGPT) to process translations. These providers only receive the minimum required input to perform the service.
4. Your Choices
- All permissions (Location, Microphone, Calendar) are optional.
- You can decline or disable them anytime in your device settings.
- Core translation features remain available without permissions (manual ride mode, text translation).
5. Security
We use standard encryption and safeguards to protect your information.
6. Compliance
This policy complies with Apple App Store, Google Play, GDPR, and CCPA requirements.
