Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

SemaWrite collects only what it needs to turn your spoken words into a manuscript:

• Account identity — your email address, and the subject identifier from your Apple or Google sign-in.
• Voice recordings — the audio you record in the app.
• Transcripts and manuscripts — the text and structure derived from your recordings, including a story-state graph describing your novel’s chapters, scenes, characters, and open questions.
• Purchase and subscription state — managed through RevenueCat and the App Store.
• Product analytics events tied to your account — sign-in, onboarding, processing, and purchase-funnel events. These are linked to your account identity; they are not anonymous, and they exist so we can see where the product loses people.
• On the website only — email signups with optional survey answers and campaign (UTM) parameters, and Meta Pixel advertising analytics. The Pixel runs on this website, never inside the app.

2. What we do not do

• We don’t sell your personal data, recordings, or manuscripts.
• We don’t train AI models on your manuscript.
• No human reviews your recordings or text, except with your consent when you ask us for support.
• The app contains no third-party advertising SDKs.

3. Who processes your data

• Supabase — hosting, database, and storage. Recordings live in a private bucket accessible only to your account.
• OpenAI — Whisper transcribes your recordings.
• Anthropic — Claude organizes your transcripts and detects story gaps.
• RevenueCat and the Apple App Store — subscription management and payment.
• Vercel and Meta — website hosting and website-visitor analytics only; neither touches app data.

4. Free-taste integrity

To keep the 30-minute free taste to once per person, we retain a one-way hash of your Apple or Google account identifier after account deletion — solely to prevent repeat free-taste claims. The hash cannot be reversed into your identity.

5. Retention and deletion

Your content is kept for as long as your account exists. Deleting your account in the app removes your audio files, transcripts, manuscripts, and account rows. Two things are retained after deletion: the one-way free-taste hash described above, and anonymized billing records kept for accounting.

6. Security

Everything travels over encrypted connections. Audio is stored in a private bucket with per-user access rules, and session tokens live in your device’s keychain.

7. Your rights

You can access and export your manuscript from inside the app at any time, and delete your account — and everything in it — from Settings. For anything else about your data, write to pauli4mary@gmail.com and we’ll help.

8. Children

SemaWrite is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If we learn we have, we’ll delete it promptly.
