Privacy Policy for Friendly Voice App

Effective Date: October 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Friendly Voice App ("the App") handles your information. Your privacy is our priority, and this App is designed to be a safe, private tool for Augmented and Alternative Communication (AAC).

1. Information Collection and Use

Friendly Voice App is built with privacy in mind. While core communication features operate locally without requiring an account, we do collect certain information in specific scenarios:

• Community Membership: If you explicitly choose to join our community, we collect your Name and Email Address to manage your membership and participation. Providing this information is entirely optional.
• App Performance & Lifecycle: We collect Device IDs and Product Interaction data (such as app installation date and timestamps) to help maintain app functionality and understand general usage lifecycle.
• Purchases: We process and store Purchase History details to manage and verify your premium status or subscription tiers within the app.

2. Camera Access and Image Usage

The App requests the android.permission.CAMERA for one specific purpose:

• Customized Buttons: To allow users to take photos of real-world objects or people to use as visual backgrounds for communication buttons.

How we handle these images:

• No Uploads: Any photos taken or selected within the App are stored locally on your device.
• No Sharing: These images are never uploaded to our servers, shared with third parties, or used for any purpose other than personalizing your AAC interface.
• Local Processing: The camera data is processed only to capture the image you choose; we do not perform facial recognition or any other form of biometric analysis.

3. Data Storage

All communication data, including your customized buttons and saved phrases, remains on your mobile device. Information associated with community membership or purchases is securely maintained to provide app functionality. If you delete the App, local data is typically removed by the operating system according to your device settings.

4. Third-Party Access

We do not sell your personal information. The App’s core communication content, including saved vocabulary, phrases, and images, remains on your device and is not shared with website analytics or advertising services. The website uses optional analytics and advertising tags as described below; they load only if you accept optional cookies.

5. Children’s Privacy

As an AAC tool, this App is intended for users of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 outside of voluntary community sign-ups managed with appropriate oversight, in compliance with COPPA and global privacy standards.

6. Website Analytics and Advertising

If you accept optional cookies on our website, we use Google Analytics (Google tag ID G-DEMF1WNQB3) and the Meta Pixel (dataset ID 1390320009783618) to measure website visits and advertising campaign performance. These services may receive page-view events, IP address, browser and device information, referring page, and online identifiers such as cookies. The current website integration sends page views; it is not configured to send form entries, saved phrases, or vocabulary content.

These tags remain disabled until you choose “Accept optional cookies.” If you reject, they are not loaded. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” button on the website. Google and Meta process data under their own privacy terms: Google Privacy Policy and Meta Privacy Policy.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
