Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2026

1. Overview

TranscriptAI (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the TranscriptAI mobile application (the “App”).

TranscriptAI does not require account registration and does not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.

The App processes user-provided content only to deliver AI-powered features such as video transcription, document analysis, image understanding, and AI chat assistance.


2. Information You Provide

When using the App, you may voluntarily provide content including:

• YouTube video URLs
• Uploaded documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX)
• Images or photos selected from your device for AI analysis
• Text prompts or AI chat messages
• Questions submitted for summarization, transcription, or explanation

This content is submitted by you solely for AI processing and feature functionality within the App.


3. Third-Party AI Processing (OpenAI API)

To provide transcript generation, document analysis, image understanding, summarization, and AI chat functionality, TranscriptAI uses a third-party artificial intelligence service provider:

OpenAI (ChatGPT API)

When you submit content, the following data may be securely transmitted to OpenAI for processing:

• YouTube video URL
• Extracted transcript text (if applicable)
• Uploaded document content
• Uploaded image content
• User prompts and chat messages
• System instructions necessary to generate responses

We Do NOT Transmit:

• Contacts
• Photos outside of those intentionally uploaded by the user
• Location data
• Payment information
• Advertising identifiers
• Background device data

All data is transmitted securely via encrypted HTTPS connections.

Important:

We do NOT sell your data.
We do NOT use your data for advertising.
We do NOT use your data for tracking.
We do NOT use your data to train AI models.

OpenAI processes API data according to its publicly available API data usage policy, which states that API data is not used to train models by default.

We only engage third-party processors that provide contractual and technical safeguards meeting applicable data protection standards.

AI Disclaimer

AI-generated responses are automatically produced by artificial intelligence systems and may not always be accurate, complete, or up-to-date. Users should independently verify important information.


4. User Consent Before AI Processing

Before any content is transmitted to OpenAI:

The App displays a clear consent dialog explaining:

• What data will be sent
• Why the data is needed
• That a third-party AI provider (OpenAI) processes the request

No content is transmitted unless the user explicitly taps “Agree” in the consent dialog.

If the user declines, AI processing will not occur.

Legal Basis (GDPR Article 6(1)(a))

Processing is based on user consent.


5. Backend Server Usage

TranscriptAI operates a backend server that securely forwards requests to AI services.

However:

• We do not permanently store user prompts
• We do not permanently store uploaded documents
• We do not permanently store uploaded images
• We do not permanently store AI responses
• We do not maintain logs containing user content

Content is processed temporarily for request fulfillment only and then discarded.


6. Advertising

The App may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners such as Google AdMob.

Advertising partners may collect limited device information according to their own privacy policies in order to:

• Deliver advertisements
• Measure ad performance
• Prevent fraud

Users may be asked for permission to allow tracking in accordance with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

If the user declines tracking permission, ads may still be displayed but may be less personalized.


7. In-App Purchases

All subscriptions and payments are processed exclusively by Apple through the App Store.

We do not collect or store:

• Credit card information
• Billing addresses
• Payment details

We only receive confirmation of subscription status from Apple.


8. Device & Technical Information

We may collect limited technical information such as:

• Device type
• Operating system version
• App version
• Anonymous crash or performance data

This data:

• Is used solely to improve app stability and performance

• Is not used for advertising tracking

We do not perform cross-app tracking.


9. Data Retention

We do not permanently store:

• Uploaded documents
• Uploaded images
• YouTube URLs
• Chat prompts
• AI responses

Content is processed temporarily and discarded after completion.

Minimal technical information may be retained only as necessary for:

• Fraud prevention
• Legal compliance
• Service integrity


10. International Data Transfers

TranscriptAI operates from India.

AI processing is performed by OpenAI, whose servers may be located in the United States or other jurisdictions.

By using the App and providing consent, you agree to the transfer of data to these jurisdictions where legally permitted.

We ensure appropriate safeguards are applied for such transfers.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data during transmission and processing.

However, no internet transmission method is 100% secure.
