Data Collection Policy

Effective Date: September 6, 2024

1. Introduction

Our mobile applications are designed to provide enhanced functionality, including content uploading and speech-to-text features. This policy outlines the types of data we collect, how we use it, and the permissions we request to deliver these functionalities.

2. Permissions We Request

To ensure optimal performance and access to features, we will request the following permissions:

  • Access to Photos, Media, and Files:
    • Purpose: To allow you to upload images, videos, and other files from your device to our app.
    • Prompt Text: “Allow InfoBytes Academy to access your photos, media, and files on your device?”
  • Access to Camera:
    • Purpose: To enable you to capture photos or videos directly through the app for uploading.
    • Prompt Text: “Allow InfoBytes Academy to take photos and record videos?”
  • Access to Microphone:
    • Purpose: To enable the speech-to-text feature, which converts spoken words into text within the app.
    • Prompt Text: “InfoBytes Academy would like to access your microphone.”

3. Data We Collect

  • Uploaded Content: Any files, images, or videos you choose to upload to the app.
  • Speech Data: Audio recordings made through the speech-to-text feature, which are used to generate text.

4. Use of Data

  • Uploaded Content: The files, images, and videos you upload are used solely for the purpose of processing your request through our AI tools and generating an output based on the provided data and uploaded content. Additionally, images may be uploaded as an optional profile picture for use within the app. We do not retain or store the content after the intended use is completed, except when storing profile pictures for continued use within the app.
  • Speech Data: Audio recordings are processed to generate text. We do not retain or store these recordings or the text output generated from our AI tools after processing is completed.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

6. Data Sharing and Retention

  • Sharing: We do not share your data with third parties except as necessary to provide the services you have requested or as required by law.
  • Data Storage: While we do not retain or store user-uploaded content or AI-generated output for our own use, the data is temporarily stored on our servers to allow users to access their content later. This stored data is only accessible by the user and is secured using appropriate encryption and authentication methods. We do not have direct access to this data.
  • Retention: Content generated by users through our AI tools is stored on our servers as long as the user requires access. Users can manage or delete this data at their discretion, and it is automatically removed when no longer needed.

7. Your Choices

You can manage and revoke permissions at any time through your device settings. Please note that revoking certain permissions may affect your ability to use some features of the app.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on our website or within the app. Your continued use of the app after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
