Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Jila ("we", "us") handles your information when you use the Jila mobile application and the jila.io website (together, the "Service"). Jila is designed around a simple principle: your recordings belong to you.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. If you sign in, we receive your basic profile from your sign-in provider (such as Google): name, email address, and profile picture. We use this only to authenticate you and associate your uploads with your account.

Audio recordings and transcripts. Recordings transferred from your voice recorder are stored locally on your device. If you choose to upload a recording for transcription, the audio file and resulting transcript are stored on the backend storage configured for your account. We do not sell, share, or use your recordings or transcripts for advertising or for training AI models.

Device and diagnostic data. We may collect basic, non-identifying diagnostic information (app version, OS version, crash logs) to keep the Service reliable.

2. What We Do Not Collect

• We do not record audio. The app only transfers files already recorded on your hardware recorder.
• We do not collect your location.
• We do not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.
• We do not sell personal data to anyone.

3. How Transcription Works

When you request a transcript, your audio is sent to an AI transcription provider (currently Google Gemini API) solely to generate the transcript. The audio is processed under that provider's API data-handling terms and is not used to serve you ads. You can delete any recording and its transcript at any time, which removes it from backend storage.

4. Bluetooth and Local Network Access

Jila uses Bluetooth to discover and communicate with your voice recorder, and may temporarily join a WiFi network broadcast by the recorder to transfer large files quickly. These connections are device-to-device; no recording data passes through our servers during transfer.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Recordings and transcripts remain stored until you delete them. Deleting a recording in the app deletes it from your device and, where applicable, from backend storage. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting hello@jila.io.

6. Security

Data in transit between the app and backend services is encrypted with TLS. Access to stored recordings requires authentication. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we apply industry-standard safeguards.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@jila.io.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated in the app or by email where appropriate.
