Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Information you provide

We may collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, account details, support messages, feedback, notes, labels, tags, uploaded files, audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, and other content you add to Echolog.

Audio, microphone, and transcript data

If you use recording, upload, transcription, search, summarization, or review features, Echolog may access, process, store, and transmit audio recordings and related transcript text only as needed to provide those features. Microphone access, where available, is used to let you record audio in the app. Echolog does not use microphone access unless you enable or use a feature that requires it.

Core recording, transcription, search, and memory features are provided within Echolog's service. We do not use your audio logs, notes, transcripts, or other user content for advertising.

Usage and diagnostics

We may collect feature interactions, timestamps, search and organization activity within the service, crash logs, performance data, diagnostic data, and error reports so we can operate, secure, debug, and improve Echolog.

Device and technical information

We may collect device and browser information such as IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, app version, language settings, approximate location derived from IP address, identifiers used for security or analytics, and cookie or similar technology data.

Advertising and consent information

EchoLog uses Google AdMob for optional rewarded ads. When an ad is loaded or viewed, Google Mobile Ads may collect and receive your IP address, which can indicate approximate location, app interactions such as ad taps or video views, diagnostic information, and device or advertising identifiers. Google uses this information for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Advertising data is encrypted in transit. We do not use your audio logs, notes, transcripts, or other user content for advertising.

EchoLog uses Google's User Messaging Platform to request and manage advertising consent where required. Where required, users can manage advertising privacy choices inside the app.

Subscriptions and billing

EchoLog uses Google Play Billing for subscriptions. Google processes payment information for Google Play purchases, while EchoLog verifies purchase and subscription status.

Communications

If you contact us, we may collect your email address, the content of your message, and related information needed to respond.

How We Use Information

We use information to provide and improve Echolog, including to:

• Create, authenticate, and maintain user accounts.
• Store, organize, search, display, transcribe, summarize, or otherwise process user content when requested by the user.
• Sync data across devices and keep the service reliable.
• Provide customer support and respond to privacy requests.
• Detect, prevent, and investigate abuse, security incidents, spam, fraud, and technical problems.
• Verify purchases, subscriptions, account status, and entitlement to paid features.
• Request and manage advertising privacy consent where required.
• Provide optional rewarded ads and measure ad delivery, interactions, security, and fraud prevention.
• Analyze product performance and improve accessibility, reliability, and user experience.
• Send service notices, security alerts, product updates, and support communications.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We do not share your audio logs, notes, transcripts, or uploaded content with third parties for their own advertising.

We may share information in the following limited situations:

Advertising providers

When you interact with an optional rewarded ad, limited technical and advertising information is disclosed to Google through AdMob to deliver, measure, secure, and improve advertising. We do not share your audio logs, notes, transcripts, or uploaded content for third-party advertising.

User-directed sharing

If you choose to export, share, publish, invite collaborators, or connect integrations, information may be shared according to your settings and actions.

Legal, safety, and security reasons

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect the rights, safety, and security of users or the public, investigate abuse, or enforce our terms.

Business transfers

If Echolog is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and privacy protections.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide Echolog, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

User content, including audio, notes, transcripts, and related records, is retained while your account is active or while needed to provide the service, unless you delete it or request deletion.

You may request deletion of your account or personal information by contacting us at hello@echolog.world. If Echolog offers account creation, we will provide an account deletion path and will delete associated user data after a verified deletion request, unless we need to keep limited information for legitimate reasons such as legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or backup recovery.

Deleted information may remain in encrypted backups or system logs for a limited period before routine deletion.

Your Choices and Controls

Depending on the features available to you, you may be able to:

• Access, correct, export, or delete account information and user content.
• Delete audio logs, notes, transcripts, and uploaded files.
• Disconnect integrations or change sharing settings.
• Control microphone access through your device permissions.
• Manage advertising privacy choices inside the app where required.
• Control cookies through your browser settings.
• Opt out of non-essential communications.
• Request help with access, correction, deletion, or account closure by emailing hello@echolog.world.

Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to certain processing of personal information. You may also have the right to appeal a decision about a privacy request.

California residents may have rights under California privacy laws, including the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

To exercise privacy rights, contact Echolog Technologies at hello@echolog.world. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These safeguards may include access controls, encryption in transit, encryption at rest where appropriate, secure development practices, monitoring, logging, vendor review, and limited access to production systems.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You should use a strong password, protect your devices, and contact us if you believe your account or data has been compromised.

Children

Echolog is not intended for children under 13 or for users under the age required by local law to consent to data processing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Echolog, contact us at hello@echolog.world so we can review and take appropriate action.

If Echolog is ever offered to children or families, we will update this policy and our product practices to reflect applicable child privacy requirements.

International Users

Echolog may process and store information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice as required by law, such as by updating the effective date, posting a notice in the service, or sending a communication.
