Text Back AI (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains the data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our iOS application.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to generate suggested replies:
- Chat Screenshots: Screenshots you upload are processed securely to extract conversation text. Images are stored only temporarily while generating responses and are discarded immediately afterward.
- Tone Preferences: We store tone selections (funny, kind, confident, professional) to tailor suggestions within your current session. These preferences are reset once you close the app.
- Usage Diagnostics: Aggregated, anonymized metrics (feature taps, crash logs) help us improve reliability. Diagnostics do not include screenshot content or personal identifiers.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used exclusively to generate replies and improve the app’s performance:
- Securely sending your chat screenshots to our AI provider for OCR and response generation.
- Returning up to three suggested responses based on your chosen tone.
- Monitoring app stability and feature usage trends at an aggregate level.
3. Data Retention & Deletion
We do not store your chat content or AI outputs on our servers beyond the active session. Draft messages are deleted automatically after they are delivered to your device. You can clear any remaining session history by force-closing the app.
4. Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell or rent personal information. Limited data is shared with trusted vendors solely to provide the service:
- Apple: Handles payments and crash reporting per your Apple ID settings.
- AI Provider: Receives your uploaded screenshots to perform OCR and generate response drafts. Data is transmitted over encrypted channels and discarded after the replies are returned.
5. Security
All network communication uses TLS encryption. Access to production systems is restricted to authorized team members with audit logging. We perform regular security reviews and monitor for unauthorized access.
6. Children’s Privacy
Text Back AI is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that we have unknowingly collected such data, we will delete it promptly.
7. Your Choices
- You may delete the app to remove all locally stored data.
- For data access or deletion requests, email admin@brightwoodapps.com.
