Privacy Policy of Face2Face AI Translator App

1. Introduction

The Face2Face AI Translator app ("App") respects the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we process it, with whom we share it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

2. Collected Data

a) Audio Data

To enable voice translation, the App requests access to the microphone. Voice recordings are transmitted in encrypted form to Google Gemini API (provided by Google LLC) for speech-to-text processing and translation. We do not store your audio recordings on our servers after the translation session ends.

b) Login Data

If you log in via Google or Apple, we receive basic information about your profile (name, email address, user ID). This data is used solely for account personalization and subscription management.

c) Usage Data

We collect information about the number of translation minutes used to manage free limits and subscriptions.

d) Technical and Diagnostic Data

We use Sentry for error reporting (crash reports) and Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users use the app and improve its stability. This data is anonymized.

3. Data Sharing with AI Service (Google Gemini)

The App uses a third-party artificial intelligence service to provide translation functionality. Below we describe in detail what data is shared, with whom, and for what purpose:

What data is sent:

• Voice recordings (audio data) from translation sessions
• Text recognized from speech for translation into the target language
• Source and target languages selected by the user

Who the data is sent to:

Data is sent to Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) through the Google Gemini API service.

Purpose:

• Generation of voice response in the target language

User consent:

Before the first use of the AI translation feature, the App displays an information screen requesting consent to process data through Google Gemini API. Use of the translation feature is only possible after the user grants consent. The user may withdraw consent at any time by deleting their account in the app.

Data protection by Google:

Google LLC provides personal data protection in accordance with its privacy policy available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Data sent to Google Gemini API through the paid API is not used by Google to train AI models. Audio data is processed in real time and is not retained by Google after processing is complete.
