The data privacy statement applies to all apps powered by TakeTheNextStep, including Innergenius and BedtimeStories.

Last updated: 21.10.2024

Thank you for using InnerGenius. Your privacy is important to us. This Data Privacy Statement outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our app to record and transcribe audio diary entries.

1. Data We Collect

When you use Innergenius, we may collect the following types of data:

  • Audio Recordings: The app allows you to record audio diary entries. These recordings are processed locally on your device but are not shared with external servers.
  • Transcriptions: Once your audio recordings are transcribed, the transcriptions are securely stored on our servers and are automatically processed by AI services such as OpenAI or AWS Bedrock to provide features like transcription, summarization, or text analysis.
  • Device Information: We may collect anonymized device information, including the model, operating system, and app usage data, to improve app performance.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • Audio Recordings: Audio recordings are processed locally on your device for transcription. We do not transmit or store audio files externally unless you choose to back them up.
  • Transcriptions: Once transcribed, the text data is stored securely on our servers and automatically processed by AI services (such as OpenAI or AWS Bedrock) for enhanced features like summarization, sentiment analysis, or other text-based insights.
  • Device Information: This data is used to ensure proper app functionality and enhance the user experience.

3. Data Security

We prioritize the security of your personal data:

  • Local Processing: Audio recordings are processed on your device, and only transcriptions are stored on our servers.
  • AI Service Security: Transcriptions processed by AI services (such as OpenAI or AWS Bedrock) are transmitted securely using encryption. These services implement strict security measures to protect your data.
  • Your Responsibility: We encourage the use of device encryption or password protection to further safeguard your data.

4. Data Sharing

We automatically process your transcriptions using AI services to enhance your experience. Transcribed text is shared with AI services (such as OpenAI or AWS Bedrock) immediately upon storage to provide features such as transcription accuracy, summarization, or analysis. Only the transcribed text is shared, and we ensure that no personal identifying information is included.

We do not share your personal data, including audio recordings and transcriptions, with other third parties unless:

  • You provide explicit consent (e.g., to back up your data).
  • It is required by law or legal processes.

5. Your Rights

You have the following rights concerning your personal data:

  • Access: You can access your audio recordings and transcriptions via the app.
  • Deletion: You can delete your recordings and transcriptions at any time. Once deleted, they are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
  • Data Portability: If the app allows backups or exports, you may transfer your data to other services of your choice.

6. Third-Party Services

If you choose to back up or share your data with third-party services (such as cloud storage or AI processing providers), their privacy policies will apply. We recommend reviewing their terms before use.

7. Changes to This Privacy Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
