Voice Memos AI Back to home

Voice Memos AI Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 10, 2026

Voice Memos AI (listed in the App Store and on Google Play as "Voice Memos: AI Recorder") is a voice memo app that uses artificial intelligence (AI) running on your device. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it. In short: your recordings and everything made from them stay on your device, and we, the developer, do not collect any of it.

Summary

  • We do not collect, receive, or store your personal data.
  • Your recordings, transcripts, summaries, and search data stay on your device.
  • Transcription, summaries, search, and chat all run on your device.
  • The app connects to the internet only to download AI model files from Hugging Face (huggingface.co), and only when you tap to download them. No personal data is sent.
  • The app has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting tools.

Who we are

Voice Memos AI is made by HSK Solutions, called "we" or "us" in this policy. You can reach us at contacthastik@gmail.com.

Information stored on your device

When you use Voice Memos AI, the app creates and keeps the following on your device:

  • The audio recordings you make.
  • Transcripts of your recordings.
  • AI results: summaries, action items, open questions, and categories.
  • A search index of your memos, used for search and "Ask your memos".
  • A log of AI jobs, shown in the Privacy dashboard.
  • Your app settings.
  • The AI model files you download.

This information is kept in the app's private storage on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and we have no way to access it.

Conversations in "Ask your memos" are not saved. Leaving the chat screen clears them.

Information we collect

None. We do not run any server that the app sends data to. The app has no accounts, advertising, analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting tools, and it does not include third-party code that collects data. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

How the AI works

All AI processing happens on your device:

  • Speech is turned into text by the Whisper speech recognition model.
  • Summaries, action items, open questions, categories, and chat answers are written by the Llama 3.2 language model.
  • Search and "Ask your memos" use the all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model to find related memos. Chat answers are based only on your own memos.

The Privacy dashboard lists each AI job and checks that no network requests were made while it ran.

Internet use: downloading AI models

Voice Memos AI needs AI model files that are too large to include in the app itself. You download them inside the app by tapping a download button, during setup or later in Settings:

  • Standard models: about 885 MB.
  • Optional higher-accuracy models, offered on devices with more memory: about 2.2 GB.

The files come from huggingface.co over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Hugging Face may redirect the download to servers that deliver files on its behalf.

These requests contain no recordings, transcripts, or other content from the app, and no account or advertising identifier. As with any download, Hugging Face can see your IP address and standard request details, such as which file was requested and when. Hugging Face handles this information under its own privacy policy: https://huggingface.co/privacy

After the download, Voice Memos AI works without an internet connection, including in airplane mode. The app does not use the internet for anything else. If you tap a link in the app, for example to rate the app or to email us, it opens in another app, such as your browser, app store, or email app, which handles that request.

Exporting and sharing

When you export a memo as text, Markdown, or PDF, Voice Memos AI opens your device's share sheet. You choose where the file goes, for example Mail, Files, or a notes app. From then on, that app or service handles the file under its own terms and privacy policy.

The Share screen can also hand a memo to apps on your phone: a new calendar event, Reminders (iPhone), Google Keep (Android), email, Messages, any other installed app that accepts text (for example Apple Notes, Google Tasks or Drive), the clipboard, and, once you turn them on in Settings › Connected apps, Obsidian, Things, Shortcuts, or Tasker. Each of these happens only when you tap it (Tasker can also be set to receive new memos automatically). The memo goes straight from your phone to that app; Voice Memos AI does not upload it, and we never see it.

Permissions

  • Microphone: to record voice memos. The app uses it only while you are recording.
  • Notifications (Android 13 and later): only to show the ongoing "Recording in progress" notification while a recording is running.
  • Foreground service for the microphone (Android): keeps a recording going when you switch apps or lock the screen. Android shows the notification while it runs.
  • Background audio (iPhone): keeps a recording going when you switch apps or lock the screen.
  • Calendar (iPhone 16 only) and Reminders (iPhone): only when you choose "Add to Calendar" or "Add to Reminders" for a memo or action item. The app writes the items you picked and reads nothing back.
  • Internet access: only to download the AI model files.

Voice Memos AI does not ask for access to your location, contacts, photos, or files, and never reads your calendar or reminders. Android may also list standard system permissions, such as keeping the device awake during a recording. These do not give the app access to your personal data.

You can check and change permissions in the app's Settings or in your device settings at any time. If you turn off microphone access, Voice Memos AI cannot record.

Backups

  • iPhone: downloaded AI model files are excluded from iCloud Backup. Your memos and recordings may be included in your own iCloud device backup if iCloud Backup is turned on, or in a backup you make on a computer. Apple stores iCloud backups encrypted. You control backups in iOS Settings. We cannot access your backups.
  • Android: Voice Memos AI opts out of Android cloud backup, so your memos are not included in your Google account backup.

How long data is kept and how to delete it

Your data stays on your device until you delete it. You can:

  • Delete a single memo. This removes its recording, transcript, AI results, and search data.
  • Turn on the setting that deletes the original audio after transcription. The transcript and AI results are kept.
  • Use Settings › Privacy › Wipe All Local Data to delete all memos, recordings, transcripts, AI results, search data, the AI job log, and app settings. Downloaded AI models can be deleted separately in Settings.
  • Uninstall the app, which deletes all of its data from the device.

Copies you exported to other apps, and backups made before you deleted something, are not affected; you can delete them where they are stored. Because we never receive your data, we cannot recover anything you delete.

Emails you send us

If you email us, your email app opens a message to contacthastik@gmail.com. Nothing is sent until you send it, and you can edit or remove anything first.

We use what you send only to reply to you, to fix problems, and to improve the app. We keep these emails only as long as we need them for that. Your email is handled by your email provider and by ours (Google, because our address is a Gmail address). If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for handling your email is our legitimate interest in answering you and fixing the problems you report.

Statistics from Apple and Google

Apple and Google may give us summary statistics, such as the number of downloads, and crash reports from people who chose to share diagnostics with app developers in their device settings. Apple and Google create these reports, not Voice Memos AI. They do not include your recordings or memo content.

Children

Voice Memos AI is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Security

  • Your data is kept in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read.
  • On iPhone, the app's files, including recordings, use iOS Data Protection: they are encrypted and cannot be read until the iPhone has been unlocked once after it starts. This requires a device passcode.
  • On Android, data is kept in the app's private storage. Most Android devices also encrypt their storage by default.
  • Model downloads use HTTPS.
  • Voice Memos AI relies on these system protections and does not add its own layer of encryption. Use a passcode or screen lock to protect your device.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or move personal data that a company holds about you, or to object to how it is used. Because we do not hold personal data from the app, there is usually nothing for us to provide or delete. You can view, export, and delete your data yourself in the app. If you have emailed us, you can ask us to delete those emails. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we will update the effective date at the top and include the new version in an app update. If a change affects how your data is handled, we will describe it in the update notes.
