Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect:

• Email address
• Full name
• Account ID
• Account creation date
• Login and verification information

We use your email address for account verification, OTP codes, account recovery, and important service-related communication.

Content You Provide

When using TalkTake, you may provide:

• Video ideas
• Text prompts
• Voice input
• Scripts
• Edited scripts
• Content preferences
• Language preferences

This information is used to provide features such as AI script generation and script editing.

AI Script Generation

When you use AI features, the text or voice-derived input required to generate a script may be sent to our AI service provider. AI processing is used only to provide the requested feature. Do not submit sensitive personal information that is not necessary for creating your content.

Camera and Microphone

TalkTake may request access to your camera and microphone. Camera access is required to record videos. Microphone access is required to record audio and may also be used for voice input and voice-follow teleprompter functionality. TalkTake does not activate the camera or microphone without your permission.

Recorded Videos

Videos recorded using TalkTake are stored locally on your device unless a future feature clearly allows you to upload or synchronize them. TalkTake does not automatically upload your recorded videos to our servers. You may choose to export videos to your device gallery.

Scripts

Your scripts may be stored locally and/or associated with your TalkTake account depending on the feature being used. If cloud script storage is enabled, script content may be stored securely on our servers.

Voice Recognition

TalkTake may use speech-recognition technology to understand where you are in your script while recording. Depending on your device and implementation, speech recognition may be processed:

• On your device, or
• Through an operating-system or third-party speech-recognition service.

We use recognized speech only to provide features such as voice input and teleprompter tracking.

Device and Technical Information

We may automatically collect limited technical information such as:

• Device type
• Operating system
• App version
• Language
• Crash information
• Performance information

This helps us maintain and improve TalkTake.

Subscriptions and Payments

Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. When you subscribe, your card and billing details are entered directly with Stripe and are not stored on our servers. We receive and store your subscription status, plan, trial and renewal dates, and the Stripe customer reference needed to manage your subscription. Stripe processes payment information according to its own Privacy Policy.

Advertising Measurement (Meta)

The TalkTake mobile app uses the Meta (Facebook) SDK to measure how well our ads on Facebook and Instagram work, for example how many people install TalkTake after seeing an ad. The SDK may share the following with Meta Platforms, Inc.:

• App installs and app opens
• Completing account registration
• Starting a free trial or subscribing, including the plan, price, and currency
• Device information such as device model, operating system, app version, and IP address
• Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android), where available

We do not share your email address, name, scripts, voice recordings, or videos with Meta. Meta may use this information to attribute app installs and subscriptions to our ads and to help us improve our advertising, according to its Privacy Policy.

On iOS, TalkTake asks for your permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt before your advertising identifier can be used. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, the advertising identifier is not collected and Meta receives only limited, privacy-preserving measurement data. See “Your Advertising Choices” below to change this at any time.

Website Analytics and Cookies

Our website, talktake.app, uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on the site
• The website or search that referred you
• Approximate location (country or city)
• Browser, device type, and operating system
• Interactions such as clicks on the App Store or Google Play buttons

We use this information only in aggregate to improve the website. Google processes it according to its own Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are asked for consent before analytics cookies are used. Anyone can accept or decline analytics cookies, and change that choice at any time, using the “Cookie Settings” link in the website footer.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

• Create and manage your account
• Verify your email
• Generate AI scripts
• Provide voice and teleprompter features
• Store and manage scripts
• Provide customer support
• Improve app performance
• Detect technical problems
• Protect TalkTake from misuse
• Communicate important service updates
• Process subscriptions and payments
• Measure the effectiveness of our advertising

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited app activity with Meta only to measure our advertising, as described in “Advertising Measurement (Meta)” above.

3. Email and OTP Service

TalkTake may use Amazon Web Services Simple Email Service (AWS SES) to send:

• OTP verification codes
• Account-related emails
• Password recovery emails
• Important service notifications

Your email address may therefore be processed by AWS for the purpose of delivering these emails.

4. AI Service Providers

TalkTake may use third-party AI providers to generate or improve scripts. Information necessary to perform an AI request may be transmitted to those providers. We only send information needed to provide the requested AI feature.

5. Data Storage

Account information, scripts, and application data may be stored using cloud infrastructure and databases operated by us or our service providers. Recorded videos are intended to remain on your device unless you explicitly choose a feature that uploads them. We take reasonable technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to:

• Provide TalkTake
• Maintain your account
• Meet legal obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Prevent fraud or abuse

If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize associated personal information where reasonably possible, except where we are legally required to retain it.

7. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your TalkTake account and associated personal information. Account deletion may be available directly inside the app or by contacting support@talktake.app.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups or where retention is legally required. Deleting TalkTake from your device does not automatically delete your TalkTake account.

8. Permissions

TalkTake may request the following device permissions:

• Camera: To record videos.
• Microphone: To record audio, provide voice input, and support voice-follow teleprompter functionality.
• Photos / Media: To save recorded videos to your gallery when requested.
• Notifications: To send optional app notifications where enabled.
• App Tracking (iOS): To allow your advertising identifier to be used for measuring our ads. This is optional and TalkTake works fully if you decline.

You can manage these permissions through your device settings. Some features may not work if the required permission is disabled.

9. Children's Privacy

TalkTake is not intended for children below the minimum age permitted by applicable law unless specifically stated otherwise. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact us at support@talktake.app.

10. Third-Party Services

TalkTake may use third-party providers for services such as:

• Cloud hosting
• Email delivery
• AI processing
• Speech recognition
• Crash reporting
• Analytics
• Payment processing (Stripe)
• Advertising measurement (Meta)

These providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies.

11. International Data Processing

Depending on where you live, information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own. Where required, we take reasonable steps to protect personal information during international processing.

12. Your Rights

Depending on your country, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent
• Request a copy of your information

Contact support@talktake.app to make a privacy request.

Your Advertising Choices

You can limit or stop the use of your advertising identifier at any time:

• iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, then turn off TalkTake (or “Allow Apps to Request to Track”).
• Android: Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads), then delete your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization.
• Meta: Manage how Meta uses activity from apps and websites in your Facebook or Instagram settings under Accounts Center → Ad preferences.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when TalkTake features, laws, or services change. The updated policy will be published with a revised effective date.
