Quiet Translator is built as a zero-retention application. Voice input is processed in real time and displayed on screen — audio is never recorded, saved, or stored on our servers or on your device.
Quiet Translator requires access to your device microphone solely to provide real-time speech translation during an active session.
Your audio is streamed over encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS) to the speech-recognition providers listed in Section 06, where it is transcribed into text in real time.
We do NOT save, record, or store any audio files — on your device or on our servers. Audio is streamed in real time and discarded immediately after processing. Server-side audio retention: 0 days.
Speech-recognition and translation providers may process audio transiently to deliver the service. We do not control their internal processing and encourage you to review their privacy policies. We select providers that do not retain audio for training after processing where such options are available.
Translated text is displayed on screen during your active session only. We do not store transcripts in any database, log, or file after the session ends.
Server-side transcript retention: 0 days. On-device transcript retention: 0 days.
To prevent abuse of the one-time free trial, we use a device-level signal: Apple DeviceCheck on iOS, or the Android ID on Android. It is used only to enforce trial and usage limits. It is not used for advertising, is not shared with advertisers, and is not used to track you across other apps or websites.
Your subscription status, plan, purchase and renewal events, as provided by Apple (App Store), Google (Google Play), and our subscription-management provider (RevenueCat). We do not receive or store your full payment card details — payment is handled by Apple or Google.
We do not collect the content of your conversations.
Retention: account and usage data are kept while your account is active and for up to 24 months after your last activity, then permanently deleted. You may delete your account at any time (Section 07).

In some regions, laws require the consent of other people before their speech is captured or processed. You are responsible for using Quiet Translator in compliance with all applicable laws in your location.
Because Quiet Translator does not store audio or transcripts, no recording of other people is created or retained by us.
We use the following providers, acting as data processors on our behalf. Audio streamed to speech providers is used only to return a transcription and is not retained by us.

Depending on your jurisdiction — including under GDPR, UK GDPR, Canada's PIPEDA, and CCPA/CPRA — you have the right to:
Account deletion. Delete your account directly in the app: Settings → Delete Account. This removes your account and associated usage data from our systems. Subscription cancellation is managed through your Apple ID settings (iOS) or Google Play account settings (Android). Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information.
Requests: mission@neuroorbitai.com — we respond within 30 days (45 days for CCPA requests). You may also file a complaint with your local supervisory authority, for example your EU Member State DPA, the UK ICO, the CNIL, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec, or the ANPD.
Data may be processed on servers located in the United States and other countries.
EU/EEA and UK users: transfers are carried out under Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (Decision 2021/914).
We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest for account data, strict access controls, and regular security reviews.
Quiet Translator is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
We will notify you of any material changes via email and/or in-app notification at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of the application after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
