Version 1.2

SeeYouYou Privacy Policy

Version: 1.2
Effective date: 2026-04-27
Last updated: 2026-04-27
Controller: Avamelia (sole proprietor), Denmark
Contact: Geekeez@gmail.com
App identifier: app.seeyouyou.live (Android package)
Brand: SeeYouYou

This Privacy Policy explains how SeeYouYou ("the App," "we," "us") handles your personal data when you use the SeeYouYou mobile application. We've written this in plain language. If anything is unclear, email us at Geekeez@gmail.com.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is Avamelia, operating as a sole proprietorship registered in Denmark. You can reach the controller at Geekeez@gmail.com.

If you are an EU/EEA resident, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and a Danish sole proprietorship is subject to Danish data protection law (Datatilsynet supervision) and the GDPR.

2. What data SeeYouYou processes

SeeYouYou is a real-time voice translation app. To do its job, it processes the following categories of data:

2.1 Voice audio (during a translation session)

When you start a translation session, your device's microphone captures audio. That audio is sent to Google's Gemini AI service via Firebase AI Logic for translation and transcription.

• Stored on our servers? No. We do not store voice audio on any server we operate.
• Stored by Google? Voice audio is processed by Google for the duration of your session. Google's data handling for Firebase AI Logic and Gemini is governed by Google's own terms (linked in section 7).
• Retained on your device? No. Voice audio is held in memory only for the moments needed to process it, then discarded.

2.2 Translated text (transcripts)

The text translations that appear on your screen during a session.

• Stored on our servers? No.
• Retained on your device? Translated text is held in the active session view. When you end the session, transcripts are not persisted. We do not maintain a transcript history.

2.3 Account information

If you sign in with Google Sign-In, we receive:

• Your email address
• Your display name
• A unique user identifier (UID)

We use this to:

• Identify your account across sessions
• Grant you access to features tied to your account (e.g., credit balance, family beta access)
• Communicate with you if necessary (rare; only for account or service issues)

We do not use your account information for advertising, marketing, profiling, or sale to third parties.

(Apple Sign-In is planned for Mode C and is not yet active in the current version. The Apple button visible in the App today does not transmit any data to Apple.)

2.4 Acceptance records

When you accept this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, we record:

• The version of the documents you accepted
• The timestamp of acceptance
• The app version at the time

In the current version (Mode B family beta), this information is stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. It does not leave your device. If you uninstall the App or clear app data, the record is removed and you will be asked to re-accept on next install.

For Mode C public launch, we will introduce server-side acceptance audit records (stored in Firebase or an equivalent backend). When that happens, we will communicate the change through a version update of this Policy and require re-acceptance.

The legal purpose of recording acceptance is to provide proof that consent was given, which is required by GDPR. For the closed family beta, local storage is appropriate proportionality: the cohort is known to the controller, and email confirmation between you and the controller serves as a parallel record.

2.5 Device and language preferences

Your selected source/target languages and voice picker preference are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. We do not transmit these to our servers.

2.6 Crash reports and diagnostic data

If the app crashes or encounters an error, we may receive a crash report through Firebase Crashlytics. These reports include:

• Device model and OS version
• App version
• Crash stack trace (the technical error)
• Anonymous device identifier

Crash reports do not include voice audio, transcripts, contact lists, photos, or any personally identifiable conversation content.

2.7 What we do NOT collect

We want to be explicit about this:

• We do not access your contacts.
• We do not access your photos or camera (current version; future Mode C may add an opt-in camera-as-tour-guide feature, governed by separate consent).
• We do not access your location (current version).
• We do not read your SMS, calls, or other apps' data.
• We do not track your behavior across other apps or websites.
• We do not sell your data.
• We do not use your conversations to train AI models.

3. Why we process your data (legal basis under GDPR)

For voice audio specifically: when you tap the microphone button, you are consenting to that audio being processed for translation. You can revoke this at any time by not tapping the button, by closing the app, or by revoking microphone permission at the OS level.

4. Who we share data with (sub-processors)

SeeYouYou uses third-party services to operate. Each is listed below with what they receive and a link to their own privacy policy.

4.1 Google Cloud / Firebase

• What they get: account information (via Firebase Authentication), crash reports (via Firebase Crashlytics), voice audio (passed through to Gemini)
• Why: authentication, AI translation, error reporting
• Where: Google's infrastructure (US and EU regions)
• Their policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Firebase AI Logic terms: https://firebase.google.com/terms/ai

4.2 Google Gemini (via Firebase AI Logic)

• What they get: voice audio during translation sessions
• Why: speech-to-text, translation, text-to-speech
• Their policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Note: Google's Gemini API terms govern how voice data is handled. We've configured the integration to minimize retention. Detailed Gemini terms are reviewed pre-Mode-C launch.

4.3 Google ML Kit (on-device)

• What they get: nothing — ML Kit Language Identification runs entirely on your device. No data leaves your device for this feature.
• Why: detect which language is being spoken (used to gate the microphone and improve translation accuracy)

4.4 Apple (planned, not yet active)

• Status: Apple Sign-In is planned for Mode C and is not active in the current version. No data is shared with Apple at this time.
• When Mode C ships, this section will be updated to describe what Apple receives, and you will be asked to re-accept the updated Policy.

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, social networks, or analytics providers beyond what's listed above.

5. Where your data is stored

• On your device: language preferences, voice picker selection, acceptance records (Mode B).
• In Firebase Authentication (Google Cloud): account info (email, display name, UID). Located in Google's multi-region infrastructure; default is us-central1 for current configuration. We may move to a European region for Mode C.
• In transit: voice audio is transmitted to Google's Gemini servers during the active translation session, then discarded.

If you are in the EU/EEA and the data is processed outside the EU/EEA, the transfer happens under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. Google publishes its SCCs at: https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs

6. How long we keep your data

If you delete your account, account info is removed within 30 days of your deletion request, except where law requires longer retention.

7. Your rights under GDPR

If you are an EU/EEA resident, you have the following rights:

• Right of access: Ask us what personal data we have about you.
• Right to rectification: Correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): Delete your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Right to restrict processing: Pause our use of your data.
• Right to data portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing).
• Right to lodge a complaint: With your local data protection authority. In Denmark, this is Datatilsynet (https://www.datatilsynet.dk).

To exercise any of these rights, email Geekeez@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Request" and describe what you want. We aim to respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security measures:

• All network traffic to Google's servers is encrypted (TLS).
• Authentication uses Google's hardened Identity Platform (formerly Firebase Authentication).
• We do not store passwords ourselves — Google handles authentication.

No system is perfectly secure. We will notify affected users within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach that affects them, in accordance with GDPR Article 34.

9. Children

SeeYouYou is not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use this app. If you are a parent and become aware that your child has provided us with personal data, contact us at Geekeez@gmail.com and we will delete the account.

For Mode C public launch, we may set a higher minimum age (e.g., 16 in line with GDPR Article 8 default). Any such change will be communicated through a version update of this policy.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will:

• Bump the version number (e.g., 1.2 → 1.3)
• Update the "Effective date" at the top
• For material changes, prompt you in-app to re-accept the new version before continuing to use the app

Your continued use of the app after the effective date of an update indicates acceptance, but for material changes we will require explicit re-acceptance through the in-app modal.

11. Contact

For privacy questions, requests, complaints, or feedback:

Email: Geekeez@gmail.com
Subject line: Privacy Request (or whatever's relevant)

12. About SeeYouYou

SeeYouYou is a personal project run by Avamelia, a sole proprietor in Denmark. It is not a venture-backed startup. The app exists to help people communicate across language barriers — from a market-stall conversation to a hospital reception desk to a friend's grandmother across the language gap.

We treat your privacy with the seriousness it deserves because we believe trust is what makes a translation tool actually useful. If you have feedback, we read every email.
