Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

The controller for this website and the app Chronicles is:

Leon Grimmeisen, Roibos Labs Herderstraße 33b 22085 Hamburg Germany Email: lmgrimmeisen@gmail.com

In short

Chronicles keeps your data on your iPhone wherever possible. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking.

The app

What happens to your data inside Chronicles:

• Everything you create in the app is stored on your iPhone.
• If iCloud is on, it syncs through your own iCloud account. Roibos Labs cannot read it.
• The app uses the microphone only while you record. Recordings are processed on your iPhone.
• On first launch, the app downloads a speech model from a content delivery server. Only model files come down; no personal data is sent.
• Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. You can turn them off in Settings.
• Transcription, titles and summaries are made on your iPhone. Your recordings, transcripts and entries never leave it, unless you turn on iCloud backup or export them yourself.

Purchases with RevenueCat

For purchases in the app, we use RevenueCat, Inc. (USA) to unlock them and restore them on your other devices (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

• What is processed: purchase and transaction details and a random, pseudonymous user ID. Neither we nor RevenueCat receive payment details such as card numbers; Apple alone handles the payment.
• The transfer to the USA is covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Downloads and purchases

You download Chronicles from Apple’s App Store, and purchases go through Apple. Apple processes this data under its own privacy policy. From Apple, Roibos Labs only receives anonymous, aggregated statistics, and crash reports if you chose to share them with app developers in your iPhone settings.
