Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 25, 2026

Echoary (声屿) respects and protects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information.

1. Our core principle: local-first

Your memories — text, tags, and original recordings — are stored only on your device by default. Echoary has no account system: you don't need to register or sign in, and our own servers never store the content of your memories.

2. What information we process

We only process the voice you actively record and its transcribed text. We do not collect your name, phone number, email, location, contacts, or other personally identifying information, and we do not read other data on your device.

3. Speech recognition (Apple)

Converting your voice to text is performed by Apple's speech recognition, subject to Apple's privacy policy. Your original recordings are kept locally for your own playback.

4. Smart organization (third-party AI)

When you use "Smart Organize," only your text (the transcribed words) is sent to a third-party AI service to correct recognition errors, restore your intended meaning, and arrange it into a card. Your original recordings are never uploaded. The text is used only to complete that single request and not for any other purpose. If we move to an on-device model in the future, the text will no longer leave your device either.

5. iCloud sync (optional)

If you enable iCloud sync, your memories sync and back up across your devices through your own iCloud private database. This data is stored in Apple's iCloud, which we cannot access. You can turn iCloud off at any time in system settings.

6. Subscriptions and payments

Pro subscriptions are handled by the Apple App Store (StoreKit). We never see or store your payment information.

7. Usage analytics (anonymous)

To improve the app, we collect anonymous usage data — such as which features you use, your device model, and your country or region. This data is fully anonymous, contains no personally identifying information, and never includes the content of your memories (text or audio). We use a privacy-focused analytics service and do not use it for advertising.

8. What we don't do

We don't show ads, we don't do cross-app ad tracking (no IDFA), we don't sell or share your personal data, and we never collect the content of your memories.

9. Your control

You can delete any memory inside the app at any time; you can back up your data to yourself via "Export Memories"; and you can enable App Lock (Face ID) to protect local access. Deleted memories are removed from your device, and if iCloud sync is on, also deleted from your iCloud.

10. Children's privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Policy updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in the app. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.

隐私政策

更新日期:2026 年 6 月 25 日

声屿(Echoary)尊重并保护你的隐私。本政策说明我们如何处理你的信息。

1. 我们的核心原则:本地优先

你的回忆——文字、标签和原始录音——默认只保存在你的设备上。声屿没有账户系统,不需要你注册或登录,我们自己的服务器不会存储你的回忆内容。

2. 我们处理哪些信息

我们只处理你主动录制的语音及其转写文字。我们不收集你的姓名、手机号、邮箱、位置、通讯录等个人身份信息,也不读取你设备上的其他数据。

3. 语音识别(Apple)

把你的语音转成文字,由 Apple 的语音识别能力完成,遵循 Apple 的隐私政策。原始录音用于本地保存与你自己回听。

4. 智能整理(第三方 AI)

当你使用「智能整理」时,仅你的文字内容(转写后的文字)会被发送到第三方 AI 服务,用于纠正识别错误、还原你的本意并整理成卡片。你的原始录音不会被上传。该文字仅用于完成本次整理,不会被用于其他用途。若未来改为设备端模型,文字也将不再离开你的设备。

5. iCloud 同步(可选)

如果你开启 iCloud 同步,你的回忆会通过你自己的 iCloud 私有数据库在你的设备之间同步与备份。这些数据存放在 Apple 提供的 iCloud 中,我们无法访问。你可以随时在系统设置中关闭 iCloud。

6. 订阅与支付

Pro 订阅通过 Apple App Store(StoreKit)处理,我们不会接触或存储你的支付信息。

7. 使用分析(匿名)

为改进 App,我们会收集匿名的使用数据——比如你用了哪些功能、设备型号、所在国家或地区。这些数据完全匿名、不含任何个人身份信息,也绝不包含你的回忆内容(文字或录音)。我们使用注重隐私的分析服务,不用于广告。

8. 我们不做的事

我们不投放广告,不做跨 App 广告追踪(不使用 IDFA),不出售或共享你的个人数据,也绝不收集你的回忆内容。

9. 你的控制权

你可以随时在 App 内删除任意回忆;可以通过「导出回忆」把数据备份到自己手中;还可以开启 App 锁(Face ID)保护本地访问。删除的回忆会从设备移除,若已开启 iCloud 同步,也会从你的 iCloud 同步删除。

10. 儿童隐私

本 App 不面向 13 岁以下儿童,我们不会有意收集儿童的个人信息。

11. 政策更新

我们可能会不时更新本政策。重大变更会在 App 内告知。继续使用即表示你接受更新后的政策。
