1. Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy applies to the TalkZara AI mobile application and public website (package com.talkzara.ai). By using TalkZara AI, you acknowledge the practices described here.
2. Minimum age and children’s privacy
TalkZara AI is intended only for people who are at least 13 years old. Children under 13 must not create an account or use the service.
TalkZara AI does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a parent or guardian who believes a child under 13 submitted information may contact the developer at mdshoharabhosen@gmail.com. The report will be investigated and the account and associated data deleted when appropriate.
3. Information TalkZara AI collects
Account and profile data may include your email address, display name, username, TalkZara PIN, preferred or native language, profile picture or selected AI avatar, subscription status, accessibility and playback settings, and account identifiers.
Communication data may include your connections, contacts, group memberships, original and translated messages, message timestamps, voice-note files, speech transcripts, translated subtitles, and information needed to deliver a message to its intended recipients.
Technical and usage data may include app version, device and session information, daily character balance, rewarded-ad count, translation and speech usage totals, security-verification results, crash or diagnostic details, and an advertising identifier for eligible free users.
4. Microphone and voice data
Microphone access is used only when you start live speech recognition or record a voice note. Live voice audio is processed strictly to recognize speech, translate it, create subtitles or AI voice dubbing, and deliver the feature you requested.
A voice note you choose to send may be stored so the intended chat or group participants can play it. Temporary live-recognition audio may be processed by supported device speech services and translation providers and is not used by TalkZara AI for advertising.
You control microphone permission through your device settings and can stop recording before sending. TalkZara AI does not record in the background without your action.
5. How TalkZara AI uses information
TalkZara AI uses information to create and secure accounts; display profiles and avatars; connect users by PIN, username, email, invite, or group; deliver text and voice communications; translate content into participant languages; provide speech recognition, subtitles, and dubbing; remember settings; enforce usage limits; prevent abuse; process subscriptions; show eligible ads; troubleshoot problems; and answer support requests.
TalkZara AI does not sell personal data or share it with third parties for their own independent marketing. Data is disclosed only as needed to provide the service, comply with law, protect users and the service, or complete a transaction you requested.
6. Third-party services
Google Gemini API (gemini-2.5-flash model) processes text or transcripts submitted for AI translation and language assistance. Supabase provides managed authentication, database, realtime messaging, and private file storage infrastructure. Google Play Billing processes subscriptions, purchases, renewals, cancellations, and restoration. Google AdMob may serve bottom banner ads, occasional interstitial ads between screens (never after every translation), and optional rewarded ads to eligible free users and may process advertising identifiers under Google’s policies.
These providers process only the information needed for their role and operate under their own privacy terms. Payment-card details are handled by Google Play and are not stored by TalkZara AI.
7. Storage, retention, and security
Account, profile, contact, group, message, settings, avatar, and sent voice-note data is retained while your account is active and as needed to operate the service. Local app data may remain on your device until you clear the cache, sign out, uninstall the app, or delete the account.
TalkZara AI uses access controls, row-level security, private storage, signed file access, encrypted network connections, authentication, and anti-abuse checks. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but access is limited to authorized users and service providers with a legitimate need.
When an account is deleted, associated account data is scheduled for permanent deletion, except limited records that must be retained temporarily for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or transaction obligations.
8. Your choices and account deletion
You can change profile details and settings, replace your picture or avatar, revoke microphone or camera permission, clear chat history, remove or block a connection, leave a group, clear local cache, and manage subscriptions through Google Play.
To delete your account in the app, open Settings, choose Delete Account, and complete the confirmation steps. This permanently removes your profile and associated messages, connections, group memberships, and stored account files where applicable.
If you cannot access the app, request account and data deletion by emailing mdshoharabhosen@gmail.com from the address associated with your account. Include your TalkZara PIN or username so ownership can be verified. Do not send your password.
9. Contact and policy changes
Questions, privacy requests, and deletion requests may be sent to mdshoharabhosen@gmail.com.
This policy may be updated when the service or legal requirements change. The updated date above identifies the current version, and material changes may also be announced in the app.
