Privacy Policy

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.
• No payment information (the app is free to use).
• No advertising identifiers or tracking cookies.
• No analytics tied to your identity.

How we use your data

• Bluetooth device information: Used solely to reconnect to previously paired devices automatically and provide a seamless connection experience.
• App preferences: Used to personalize your experience according to your settings.

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.
• No data is sent to external servers, third parties, or cloud services.
• An internet connection is not required for core functionality once the app is installed.

Data storage

• All data (Bluetooth device list, preferences) is stored locally on your device only.
• No user data is uploaded to remote servers or shared with third parties.
• You can clear all stored data by uninstalling the app or using the device management options within the app.

Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties. All data processing happens locally on your device.

Permissions

The app requires the following permissions to function:

• Bluetooth: To connect to and communicate with your Smart TV or other devices.
• Microphone: To enable speech-to-text input. This is only used when you actively press the microphone button.
• Location (on Android 12+): Required by Android for Bluetooth scanning. We do not access or store your location data.

Data retention

• Bluetooth device information and app preferences are stored locally until you manually delete them in the app or uninstall the app.

Your choices

• You can manage connected devices and remove saved devices at any time within the app.
• You can modify app settings (theme, language, auto-send preferences) in the Settings page.
• You can revoke permissions at any time through your device's system settings.
• Contact us to ask questions or request information: originlabs.in@gmail.com.

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.
