Privacy Policy

Machintech ("we", "our", or "us") operates the DoubleTALK! mobile application. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.

1. Information Collection and Access

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with access to certain information for functionality:

• Microphone Access: Crucial for the app's core function (speech-to-text translation). Audio is processed in real-time.
• Storage Access: Necessary for downloading and storing offline language models (Google ML Kit).
• Translation History: The app stores your translation history locally on your device for your convenience. This data is not uploaded to any server and can be deleted by the user within the app at any time.
• Device Information: We may collect non-personal data such as device model and OS version for technical stability.

2. Data Processing (On-Device & Local)

Privacy First: DoubleTALK! is designed to process as much data as possible on your device.

• No Voice Recording: Your voice is converted to text and translated instantly. We do not save, record, or upload your voice files to any server.
• Offline Translation: Through Google ML Kit, translation is performed on-device once language models are downloaded.

3. Third-Party Services

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. Link to privacy policy of third-party service providers used by the app:

• Google Play Services
• Google ML Kit

4. GDPR & Data Protection

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we ensure that your data is handled with transparency. Since we do not store personal data on external servers, your right to "be forgotten" is inherently maintained by the app’s local-only architecture.

5. Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
