Privacy Policy

Seedemo · Last updated: June 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes what information Seedemo (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, how we collect it, how we use and share it, and your choices when you use the Seedemo mobile application for iOS (“App”). By using the App, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Who we are

Seedemo is operated by an independent developer. For privacy requests, contact us at: seedemo.support@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information, consistent with disclosures in the App Store:

2.1 Account and contact information

• Name. A display name associated with your account, if provided by Sign in with Apple or Google.
• Email address. Used to create and manage your account.
• User ID. A unique identifier in our backend to distinguish your data from other users.

2.2 Content you create (“User Content”)

• Audio data. Voice recordings you capture in the App, stored on your device and, when you use cloud features, backed up to our infrastructure.
• Other user content. Text notes, lyrics, tags, transcripts, version history of your seeds, and similar materials you save in the App.

2.3 Purchases and subscriptions

If you purchase Seedemo Pro, Apple processes payments through In‑App Purchase. We do not receive your full payment card number. We and our subscription partner receive information about whether your subscription is active and related purchase history as needed to unlock Pro features.

2.4 Information we do not intend to collect

The App is not designed to collect contacts, precise location, health data, or photos from your library for its core features. If we add such features later, we will update this policy and, where required, request permission in the App.

2.5 How we collect information

We collect information in these ways:

• Account sign‑in: when you authenticate with Sign in with Apple or Google, we receive account identifiers and related profile fields those services provide.
• In‑App creation: when you record audio, type notes, add tags, or edit seeds in the App.
• Device permissions: when you grant microphone access to record audio (requested by iOS when you use recording features).
• Cloud sync and storage: when you are signed in and use features that store or sync your seeds to our backend.
• Subscriptions: when you purchase or restore Seedemo Pro through Apple’s In‑App Purchase; our subscription partner validates entitlement status.
• AI transcription (optional): only when you tap AI Transcribe and tap Allow in the in‑App consent screen. We then send the audio from that recording to our servers and to OpenAI (Whisper) to return transcription text. We do not automatically send audio to third‑party AI when you save a recording.
• Support: when you contact us by email.

3. How we use information

We use the information above for the following purposes:

• Provide the App: authenticate you; store and sync your seeds; enable playback, search, tags, trash/recovery, and account management.
• Subscriptions: determine and maintain Seedemo Pro access.
• AI transcription: convert speech to text when you explicitly request transcription, subject to plan limits described in the App. Transcription results are saved as part of your seeds if you keep them.
• Security and operations: protect the service, prevent abuse, and maintain reliability.
• Support: respond when you contact us.

We do not use your information for third‑party advertising, and we do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for “tracking” as defined in Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework. We do not use your audio for third‑party AI model training.

4. How we share information and service providers

We share personal information only as described below. We do not sell personal information.

4.1 Third‑party AI services

When you use optional AI transcription, we share data with the following AI provider:

• OpenAI (Whisper) — What: audio from the recording you choose to transcribe. When: only after you tap AI Transcribe and Allow in the App. Why: speech‑to‑text to return transcription text to you. Audio is not sent for advertising or sold to third parties.

4.2 Other service providers (processors)

We rely on vendors that process data on our behalf:

• Supabase — authentication, database, and cloud storage for your account and content.
• Apple — Sign in with Apple and In‑App Purchase.
• Google — Google sign‑in, if you choose it.
• RevenueCat — subscription status and purchase validation to manage Pro access.

4.3 Protection by service providers

We require service providers that process personal information on our behalf—including third‑party AI providers—to protect your information with contractual and technical safeguards that provide the same or equivalent protection for your data as described in this Privacy Policy (including Section 8). We share only the data needed to provide the feature you use. Each provider’s processing is also subject to their published policies and our agreements with them.

5. Your choices (including AI transcription)

AI Transcribe: You may decline AI transcription in the in‑App consent screen or tap Not Now. You can review or withdraw permission at any time under Settings → Privacy & Permissions → AI Transcription. After permission is withdrawn, no recording audio will be sent to OpenAI unless you tap AI Transcribe and allow it again. You may use the App without AI transcription.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email us at the address in Section 1. You may also adjust iOS permissions (for example, microphone) in iOS Settings. You may delete your account in the App, as described in our Terms of Use.

California residents: We do not sell personal information. California law may grant you additional rights; you may designate an authorized agent where permitted by law.

6. Legal bases (EEA / UK users)

If applicable law requires a “legal basis,” we process personal data to perform our contract with you (provide the App), based on our legitimate interests in operating and securing the service (where not overridden by your rights), or with your consent where required (for example, AI transcription and optional communications if we introduce them).

7. Retention

We keep your information as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the App. Content you delete may be retained in trash for a limited period (for example, up to 30 days) before permanent deletion, as described in the App. Backups may persist for a short additional period. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize personal data unless we must retain certain records for legal reasons.

8. Security

We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the service (including encryption in transit and access controls). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

10. International transfers

We and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross‑border transfers.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new date at the top and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
