Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 1, 2025
TextBack AI ("we," "our," or "us") operates the TextBack AI mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the App.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Text content you submit. When you paste or describe a text conversation to generate reply suggestions, that content is sent to our AI processing service. We do not store your conversation content after a reply is generated.
- Usage data. We collect anonymized analytics about how you interact with the App (e.g., features used, session duration) to improve the product. This data cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
- Purchase information. If you subscribe, purchases are processed by Apple (App Store). We receive only a purchase receipt token; we never see or store your payment card details.
- Device identifiers. We may collect an anonymous device or installation identifier to support subscription verification and crash reporting.
- Support communications. If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to resolve your inquiry.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features.
- To generate AI-powered reply suggestions based on text you submit.
- To verify and manage in-app subscriptions.
- To respond to your support requests and communications.
- To monitor and analyze usage patterns and diagnose technical issues.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
- OpenAI. Text you submit is sent to OpenAI's API to generate reply suggestions. OpenAI processes this data subject to their Privacy Policy. By using the App you acknowledge this transmission.
- Apple (App Store / StoreKit). Subscription and purchase management is handled by Apple.
- Analytics providers. We may use anonymized analytics tools (e.g., PostHog) to understand aggregate usage. No personally identifiable information is shared.
4. Data Retention
We do not persistently store the text content you submit for reply generation — it is processed in-transit and discarded. Anonymized analytics data is retained for up to 24 months. Support emails are retained for up to 3 years.
5. Children's Privacy
TextBack AI is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information. All data in transit is encrypted using TLS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you.
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
8. California Residents (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, disclose, and sell. We do not sell your personal information. To submit a verifiable consumer request, contact us at [email protected].
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the effective date above and, where appropriate, by an in-app notification. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
