Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 16, 2026

AMsummary ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application AMsummary (the "App").

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our service:

• Audio recordings: When you record, audio is captured by your device microphone. Transcription runs on your device by default, so your audio normally does not leave your phone. Only as a rare fallback (very long recordings or lower-capacity devices) is the audio sent to our AI transcription provider; in that case the audio is not retained after transcription.
• Transcripts, summaries, and imported content: The text of your transcript, the documents and links you import (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, text, YouTube, web pages), and the AI outputs are sent to our backend and a third-party AI provider to generate summaries, quizzes, flashcards, study guides, and chat answers. This content is associated with your account.
• Account information: Your email address, obtained through Sign in with Apple (which may be Apple's private relay address), used to identify your account and your subscription status.
• Subscription information: Purchase and free-trial status, managed through our payments provider.
• Usage data: We count how many summaries, Studio generations, and chat messages you use each month to enforce your plan's limits.
• Diagnostics: Crash and error reports to keep the App stable. These are not linked to your identity.
• Calendar (optional): If you enable it, the App reads event titles on your device to auto-name recordings and can attach a summary to an event. Calendar data stays on your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To transcribe your recordings (on-device by default; cloud fallback only when needed)
• To generate AI summaries, key points, quizzes, flashcards, study guides, and chat answers from your content
• To manage your account, subscription, and plan limits
• To diagnose technical issues and fix bugs

We do not use your recordings or content to train AI models, we do not sell your data, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites for advertising.

3. Audio Data & On-Device Processing

By default, transcription happens on your device and your audio is not uploaded. Only as a rare fallback — for example, very long recordings or devices that cannot run the on-device model — is the audio sent to our AI provider for transcription, and it is discarded immediately after processing. The resulting text (transcript and summary) is always processed on our backend and by our third-party AI provider to generate your summaries and study materials.

4. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following categories of third-party processors, only as needed to operate AMsummary, each under data-processing agreements that limit them to providing their service to us:

• AI processing provider: The text of your transcript and content (and, in the rare cloud-transcription fallback, your audio) is processed to generate transcriptions, summaries, quizzes, flashcards, study guides, and chat answers. Your content is not used to train its models.
• Cloud infrastructure and database provider: Hosts your account and processes the requests described above.
• Subscription management provider: Processes in-app subscriptions and purchases.
• Diagnostics provider: Crash and error reporting, with no personal identity attached.
• Apple: Sign in with Apple, app distribution, and in-app purchases, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

Institutional customers can request the specific names of our sub-processors at soporte@amsummary.com.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your transcripts and summaries are stored on your device and in your account on our backend. We use industry-standard encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, and we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access.

6. Children's Privacy

AMsummary is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

7. Your Rights & Account Deletion

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time directly from within the App (Settings → Delete account). This permanently removes your account and the data we hold on our backend. Note that deleting your account does not automatically cancel an active Apple subscription — you can cancel it in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Depending on your location (for example, under GDPR or CCPA), you may also have the right to access, correct, restrict, or object to the processing of your data, request a copy, or request deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@amsummary.com.

8. Data Retention

You control your content: you can delete individual recordings or your entire account at any time from within the App. When you delete your account, your server-side data is removed. Audio sent to our provider in the rare cloud-transcription fallback is discarded immediately after transcription and is not retained.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via an in-app notification. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
