Voice Journal — Privacy Policy

Voice Journal (“the app”) is published by FightTech. It is a personal journal: you speak or type, and the app turns it into journal pages. Short version: there is no account, your journal lives on your phone, there is no analytics SDK, the free Android app shows ads from Google AdMob (none while you have Pro or after you buy a credit pack), and we do not sell your data. Some features you choose to use — cloud AI, place and weather, calendar moments, purchases — send limited data to the services named below, and the ads are described in section 9.

1. What the app stores on your phone

• Your recordings, journal pages (original and polished text), moods, tags, photos you add, letters, goals, answers and settings — in the app's private storage.
• If you enter your own AI provider key, it is kept on the phone and only sent to the provider you configured.
• Android's own backup is turned off for this app: your journal is not copied to Google's device backup or moved to a new phone by Android. Uninstalling the app deletes everything it stored.

There is no user account and your journal is not synced to our servers.

2. Microphone

The app asks for microphone access to record journal entries and for the Talk it through conversation. Recording only starts when you start it. While recording, a notification with Pause and Stop is shown, so recording can continue with the screen off; it stops when you stop it.

3. Transcription and AI

You choose the engine in Settings:

Mode	Where your audio and text go
Private (on device)	Nowhere. Speech is transcribed and pages are tidied on the phone. The speech model is downloaded once from Hugging Face (huggingface.co), which sees your IP address like any download.
Cloud AI (free credits or bought credits)	The recording or text of that page is sent once to our gateway at fighttech.vn, which forwards it to an AI model provider we use (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and as fallback Moonshot AI, Xiaomi MiMo, MiniMax or Zhipu AI) to return the result. These providers process it under their own terms, possibly outside your country (including the United States and China). We do not keep your recordings or journal text; we keep usage counts (credits) for billing.
Your own API key	Directly from your phone to the provider you configured. We never see it.

Features that look across your journal (weekly reflection, Ask your journal, memories, monthly recap, prompts from older pages, calendar moments) send only what they need — titles and short passages, or an event's title and time — and only in a cloud mode. Journals you mark “Keep away from AI” are never sent. Your content is not used to train AI models by us.

Photos you add are picked with the system photo picker. Before a photo is sent to an AI engine, the app makes a small copy without location or camera data (EXIF).

4. Place and weather (optional)

If you turn on place and weather, the app asks for approximate (city-level) location while you use it, never in the background. Coordinates are rounded and sent to Open-Meteo (api.open-meteo.com) to get the weather; the place name is worked out on the phone. The map of your pages loads tiles from OpenStreetMap, which sees your IP address.

5. Calendar (optional)

If you turn on calendar moments, the app reads today's events on the phone to suggest a prompt. Only titles and times are used; attendees, places and notes are never read. An event's title and time leave the phone only if you tap that moment while using a cloud AI mode.

6. App lock

App lock uses Android's fingerprint or device PIN check. Your fingerprint never reaches the app; Android only tells it whether the check passed.

7. Backups and export

Backups are files you create and keep where you choose. They are encrypted (AES-256) with a passphrase that only you know; we never receive it. “Export everything” writes a zip of your journal to a place you pick.

8. Purchases

Pro subscriptions and credit packs are sold through Google Play; we never see your payment details. To confirm a purchase, the app sends the purchase token, product id and a random install id (not linked to your name or Google account) to fighttech.vn.

9. Ads, usage counts and app settings

There is no analytics or crash-reporting SDK. The app downloads a signed settings file from fighttech.vn (app version and language only) to switch features on or off. If you agree to share usage counts, the app sends anonymous counts of features used (never content) with the random install id.

The free Android app shows ads from Google AdMob: a banner, possibly a full-screen ad between activities, and optional rewarded ads you can choose to watch to unlock Voice Journal Pro for 30 minutes. Google may use the advertising ID, device information, approximate location derived from the IP address and your interactions with ads to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK), the app first asks for your consent through Google’s consent form (UMP), and you can change your choice at any time under the privacy options in Settings. You see no ads while you have Pro (an active subscription or the lifetime purchase), after you buy a credit pack on this install, and during the 30-minute Pro window unlocked by a rewarded ad. If a subscription ends, ads come back. Your journal pages and recordings are never sent to AdMob. We sell no data and build no advertising profile ourselves. How Google uses data from apps that show its ads: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in the Android settings, under Privacy → Ads.

10. Safety and health

Voice Journal is a personal journaling tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. If a page you write matches crisis phrases, the app shows helpline information; this check runs on the phone and nothing is reported to anyone. Helplines are run by third parties.

11. What we do not do

• No selling of your data and no advertising profile built by us; your journal is never shared for advertising.
• No account, no profile of you, no copy of your journal on our servers.
• No background location, no contacts, no camera.

12. Age

Voice Journal is meant for adults (18+) and is not directed at children.

13. Delete your data

• Delete any page or journal in the app, or uninstall the app to delete everything on the phone. Backup files you saved are yours to delete.
• Purchase and credit records on our server tied to your install id: email fighttech.vn@gmail.com and we will delete them or send you a copy.

14. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions: fighttech.vn@gmail.com.
