Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Smarty Voice Notes ("we", "our", or "us"), developed by Smarty Apps AI (Google Play) and Fab Feelings Corp (App Store), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Account Information:

• Email address (for account creation and authentication)
• Account creation date

Audio Recordings:

• Voice recordings you create within the app
• Transcriptions generated from your recordings
• AI-generated summaries of your recordings

Location Data:

• Approximate (coarse) location, used to provide location-aware features and improve service relevance

Usage Data:

• Recording duration and timestamps
• App settings and preferences

Device and Advertising Data (free plan):

• Advertising identifier: the Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA, only if you allow tracking on iOS) or the Google Advertising ID (Android)
• IP address and approximate location derived from it
• Device model, operating system, language, and app version
• Ad interaction data, such as ads shown, ads tapped, and rewarded videos completed
• Diagnostic data, such as crash logs and ad performance

Third-Party AI Processing (OpenAI)

Smarty Voice Notes uses OpenAI (openai.com) to power its AI features. By using the app you agree that the following data may be sent to OpenAI for processing:

• Audio recordings — sent to OpenAI's Whisper API to generate text transcriptions. OpenAI processes the audio solely to produce the transcript and does not use API-submitted data to train its models under its API data usage policy.
• Transcription text — after transcription, the resulting text is sent to OpenAI's GPT-4o mini model to generate AI notes, summaries, and action items. The original audio is not sent at this stage.

OpenAI's handling of your data is governed by the OpenAI Privacy Policy. We do not send any other personal information (such as your name or email) to OpenAI.

Advertising

The free version of Smarty Voice Notes shows ads, including banner ads, full-screen ads, and optional rewarded videos. Premium subscribers do not see ads, and we do not collect advertising data from Premium subscribers.

Ads are provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. AdMob and its ad technology partners may collect the Device and Advertising Data listed above to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and, if you allow it, show ads personalized to your interests. The ad partners we work with are listed in the in-app privacy settings, where you can review and manage them. Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

What is never shared with advertisers:

Your voice notes, audio recordings, transcripts, AI notes and summaries, chat conversations, and email address are never shared with Google AdMob or any other ad network. The ads you see are not based on what you record or write in the app.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before ads are personalized or your device data is used for advertising, using a consent tool certified under the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. If you decline, you may still see limited, non-personalized ads.

Attribution and Subscriptions

• AppsFlyer: measures which advertising campaigns led you to install the app. It uses your device's advertising identifier where you have permitted it, and app events such as installs and purchases. See the AppsFlyer Privacy Policy.
• RevenueCat: manages your Premium subscription status and purchase history. Payments are processed by Apple or Google; we never receive your payment card details. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

How We Use Your Information

• Transcription Services: Your audio recordings are sent to OpenAI's Whisper API to generate text transcriptions.
• AI Notes & Summaries: Transcription text is sent to OpenAI's GPT-4o mini to create summaries, key points, and action items based on your preferences.
• Account Management: Your email is used for authentication and account-related communications.
• Advertising: On the free plan, device and advertising data is used to show and measure ads as described above.
• Service Improvement: We may use aggregated, anonymized data to improve our services.

Data Storage and Security

• Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption
• Audio files and transcriptions are stored in secure cloud infrastructure (Supabase)
• We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data for money. We share data only with:

• OpenAI: Audio recordings and transcription text are processed by OpenAI as described above
• Cloud Infrastructure: Supabase for secure data storage
• Google AdMob and its ad partners (free plan only): Device and Advertising Data, as described in the Advertising section
• AppsFlyer and RevenueCat: as described in the Attribution and Subscriptions section
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights

How to Opt Out of Personalized Ads

• In the app: open Profile → Privacy settings to change your ad consent choices or opt out of the sale or sharing of your data at any time.
• iPhone and iPad: go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and turn off tracking for Smarty Voice Notes, or turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track".
• Android: go to Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads) and delete your advertising ID.
• Google ad settings: manage ad personalization across Google services at myadcenter.google.com.
• Upgrade to Premium: Premium subscribers see no ads at all.

Opting out of personalized ads does not remove ads from the free plan; you may still see non-personalized ads.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (California and Other U.S. States)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and similar laws in other U.S. states, allowing Google AdMob and its partners to collect device and advertising data for personalized advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, even though we do not receive money for your data.

In the past 12 months we have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (email address, advertising ID, IP address); internet or other electronic network activity (app usage and ad interactions); approximate geolocation; commercial information (subscription purchases); and audio information (your voice recordings). Of these, only identifiers, network activity, and approximate geolocation are disclosed to advertising partners for advertising purposes. Audio information and transcripts are never sold or shared for advertising.

You have the right to:

• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including for targeted advertising: open Profile → Privacy settings in the app, or email us at contact@fabfeelings.com with the subject "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information".
• Know what personal information we have collected about you and how it is used and disclosed
• Delete your personal information
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights

We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. To make a request, email us at contact@fabfeelings.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Delete: Delete your account and all associated data at any time through the app settings
• Export: Copy your transcriptions and summaries from the app
• Withdraw consent: Change your advertising consent choices at any time in Profile → Privacy settings

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all your recordings, transcriptions, and personal data are permanently deleted from our systems. Data collected by Google AdMob and AppsFlyer is retained according to their own privacy policies.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
