Effective date: 5 November 2025
We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and your choices. If you have any questions, contact us at originlabs.in@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Bluetooth device information: To establish and maintain connections with your Smart TV or other devices, we store the device names and addresses of previously connected devices locally on your device.
- App preferences: Settings such as your preferred theme (dark/light), speech recognition language, and automatic send preferences are stored locally on your device.
What we do not collect
- Voice recordings: Your voice input is processed locally on your device using the device's speech-to-text engine. We do not record, store, or transmit your voice data.
- Typed text: Any text you type or speak is sent directly to your connected device via Bluetooth. We do not log, store, or transmit this data to any servers.
- No precise location, contacts, photos, or other personal files.

How we use your data

Data processing
- All speech-to-text processing is performed locally on your device using the device's built-in speech recognition engine.
- Text input is transmitted directly to your connected TV or device via Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) protocol.

The app requires the following permissions to function:

Children's privacy
Talk2TV is intended for a general audience. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. All processing happens locally on the device without data collection.
Security
Since all data is stored and processed locally on your device, and we don't transmit data to external servers, there's minimal risk of data breaches. Bluetooth connections use standard security protocols. We take reasonable steps to ensure the app functions securely.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or legal requirements. We'll update the effective date above and, when appropriate, notify users through app updates.
