• User Content: Audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, and notes uploaded, recorded, or generated by you through the App.

2. Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

We collect several different types of information to provide and improve our Service to you.

• Transcripts & AI Content:
  To provide "AI Summaries," "Note Generation," and "Smart Q&A" features, we transmit the text data (excluding audio files) generated from speech recognition to our AI Service Provider (OpenAI).

C. Usage Data Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service. This may include:

• Device type (e.g., iPhone 15), operating system version (e.g., iOS 17);
• In-app feature usage statistics (e.g., how often you generate summaries, crash logs).

During this period, backup data is isolated and not used for any business processing.
