Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 01. June 2023
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Florian Vates (referred to as "Developer") collects, uses, and protects the personal information of users ("User" or "you") of the MonAi mobile application ("App").
Types of Personal Information Collected:
The App utilizes Apple's CloudKit framework to store and retrieve data, which means no personal data is stored on any server accessible by the developer. All data is stored in the Users personal iCloud.
The App uses Apple's "Speech" SDK to transcribe user audio input. The transcription happens locally in most of the cases but could, under some circumstances, also be sent to apples servers for furhter improvement. The transcribed text is sent to a very simple backend, hosted on AWS, which only acts as a router to hide API-Keys and further implementation details. No data is stored during this process. The data is then forwarded to the OpenAI API for interpretation and processing. OpenAi also doesn't store the data for more than 30 days and will not train its models with the Users data. You can read more about how OpenAi uses the data on OpenAI API data usage policies
Use of Personal Information:
The personal information collected, such as the date, description, and amount of transactions, is solely used within the App for the purpose of displaying the user's transaction history.
In the case of incorrect automatic categorization, user corrections are sent to the backend as part of the request but are not stored separately.
Third-Party Services and APIs:
A backend server is employed to abstract the prompts from the user and hide the OpenAI API key. The server facilitates the processing of user input via the OpenAI API.
The OpenAI API does not store data, according to their OpenAI API data usage policies.
The backend is hosted on AWS (Amazon Web Services) but doesn't story any user data. I encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
Data Security:
All communication between the App, backend, and OpenAI API is encrypted using HTTPS to ensure the security and privacy of user data.
Personal information is stored and protected by Apple's CloudKit, which follows industry-leading security measures.
User Rights and Options:
Users have the right to request the deletion of all their data stored in CloudKit. This can be done within the App by manually deleting all their contents or by contacting us directly.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the use of the App and does not cover any other websites, services, or applications that may be linked or integrated within the App.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Policy, please contact us at app.monai@proton.me.
