Privacy Policy for KeyChat – Translator Keyboard

Effective Date: April 21, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to KeyChat (“we”, “our”, “us”). Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your choices when using the KeyChat app (“App”). By installing or using the App, you agree to this policy.

2. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide

  • Text Input: Any text you type, copy, or paste for translation or keyboard use.

  • Audio Data: Voice recordings when you use the speech-to-text feature.

  • Images: Photos or live camera input for image-based translation.

b) Automatically Collected Information

  • Device Details: Model, OS version, unique device ID (Android ID), app version.

  • Usage Analytics: Crash reports, performance metrics, feature usage (via Firebase Analytics or similar).

  • Network Data: IP address, network type, connectivity status.

3. Permissions

To provide core functionality, the App requests these Android permissions at runtime:

  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Display the floating keyboard over other apps.

  • CAMERA: Capture images for OCR and translation.

  • RECORD_AUDIO: Record voice for speech translation.

  • INTERNET: Connect to translation services, analytics, and updates.

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Detect network availability.

You can grant or revoke permissions in Android Settings at any time.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • Core Functionality: Deliver keyboard input, text, voice, and image translations.

  • Performance & Stability: Diagnose crashes and ANRs, optimize speed and responsiveness.

  • Improvement: Analyze feature usage to guide updates, new languages, and themes.

  • Notifications: Inform about new releases, features, or policy changes (via Google Play).

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal data. We may share your information with:

  • Service Providers: Translation APIs (e.g., Google Translate), analytics, and hosting services—only to support App functionality.

  • Legal Requests: Comply with lawful subpoenas or government orders.

All partners must adhere to strict privacy and security obligations.

6. Data Retention and Security

  • Retention: Usage logs and crash data are retained up to 12 months. User-provided text, audio, and images are deleted immediately after processing.

  • Security: Data in transit uses TLS encryption. Stored data resides on secure, access-controlled servers.

7. Your Rights and Choices

  • No Account Required: The App does not require sign-in or collect personal profiles (no Google login or account creation).

  • Transient Data Only: Text, audio, and images are used solely to fulfill translation requests and are not stored long-term.

  • Data Deletion: Since no account or profile is maintained, there is no in-app deletion tool. Transient data purges automatically.

  • Questions or Concerns: Contact scan4document@gmail.com.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact us to request deletion.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect new features, legal requirements, or business practices. We will post changes in the App listing and notify you via the App. Continued use implies acceptance of updates.
