Your privacy matters. This policy explains what data TalkBuoy collects, how it's used, and your rights.
Account information: Email address and authentication provider (Google or email/password), stored in Firebase Authentication.
Usage data: Plan type, minutes used, and billing status, stored in Firestore.
Payment data: Handled entirely by Stripe. We store only your Stripe customer ID and subscription ID - never card numbers or bank details.
Uploaded documents: CVs or notes you upload are processed to extract text and then stored only for the duration of your session.
Audio from your microphone is streamed to our servers in real time for transcription. Audio is never recorded, stored, or replayed. Transcripts exist only in memory during your active session and are discarded when the session ends.
To provide and improve the Service, manage your subscription, and communicate important account updates. We do not sell your data to third parties.
Firebase (Google): Authentication and database. Stripe: Payment processing. OpenAI: Text-to-speech and AI language model for generating suggestions. Anthropic: AI language model for generating suggestions. Deepgram: Real-time speech-to-text transcription. These services have their own privacy policies.
Account data is retained while your account is active. When you delete your account, all associated data (Firestore profile, Firebase Auth record) is permanently removed.
You can: access your data (visible in your profile), reset your password, export your information by contacting us, and delete your account at any time.
We use HTTPS for all data in transit, Firebase security rules for stored data, and Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure for payments.
