Privacy Policy
Audelo is made by Baki Ucan ("we"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the Audelo app for iPhone and iPad. Contact: ucnllc@gmail.com.
Your documents stay on your device
- Everything you add to Audelo (files, web articles, pasted text, scanned pages), your library, bookmarks, pronunciation rules and listening progress are stored only on your device. There is no Audelo account and no Audelo server, and we never receive your documents.
- Speech is generated on your device, with Apple voices or with the natural voices you download. Your text is not sent anywhere to be read aloud.
- Summaries are written on your device with Apple Intelligence.
When Audelo connects to the internet
- Web links you add: Audelo loads the page directly from that website, like a browser does.
- Natural voices: when you download them, the voice files come from Hugging Face. Hugging Face sees a normal download request (such as your IP address). No document text is sent.
- Purchases: payments are handled by Apple. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have Audelo Pro. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase history for Audelo and basic device information. It never sees your documents. RevenueCat privacy policy.
- Ads in the free version: see below.
Ads (free version only)
The free version of Audelo shows ads from Google AdMob. Audelo Pro has no ads. To show and measure ads, Google may collect:
- device and app information (device model, operating system, app version, language), your IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- how you interact with ads (views, taps) and diagnostic data about ad performance;
- your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when iOS asks. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", Google does not receive the IDFA and shows less personalized ads.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other regions where it is required, Audelo asks for your consent through Google's consent form before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in Audelo → Settings → Ad Privacy Choices, and you can change tracking permission in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Ad data is never combined with your documents. Learn more in how Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Analytics
Audelo itself does not collect analytics. In the free version, Google AdMob measures ad views and taps as described above. We do not sell your personal information.
Problem reports
If you use "Report a Problem", your email app opens with a message to us that includes basic diagnostics (app and iOS version, device model, language, whether you have Pro, the voice and type of document in use). You see this text before you send it, and nothing is sent unless you send the email. It never includes your document text. We use your message only to answer you.
Children
Audelo is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Because your documents and settings are stored only on your device, you can view or delete them at any time in the app or by deleting the app. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Turkey's KVKK), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information held about you. For data held by Apple, RevenueCat or Google, you can also contact them directly. For anything else, write to ucnllc@gmail.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
