Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 20, 2025

Our Commitment to Privacy

At How Can I Say, we take your privacy seriously. This app is designed with privacy at its core, utilizing Apple Intelligence to process all translations directly on your device.

Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data. Here's what you need to know:

  • All translations are processed entirely on your device using Apple's FoundationModels framework
  • Your translation history is stored locally on your device only
  • No text you translate is ever sent to our servers or any third-party servers
  • We do not track your usage patterns or collect analytics
  • We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies

On-Device Processing

How Can I Say leverages Apple Intelligence (FoundationModels framework) to provide:

  • Complete Privacy: All AI processing happens on your device
  • Offline Functionality: No internet connection required for translations
  • Data Security: Your translations never leave your iPhone
  • No Cloud Storage: Translation history is stored locally using iOS secure storage

Information We Don't Collect

To be absolutely clear, we do NOT collect:

  • Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
  • Translation content or text you input
  • Usage statistics or analytics
  • Device information beyond what iOS requires for app functionality
  • Location data
  • Contacts or other personal data

Camera and Photo Library Access

The app may request access to your camera and photo library for Visual Intelligence features (text translation from images). This access is:

  • Optional and only requested when you use image-based translation features
  • Processed entirely on-device
  • Never uploaded or shared with any servers
  • You can revoke this permission at any time in iOS Settings

Third-Party Services

How Can I Say does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The app uses only Apple's native frameworks:

  • FoundationModels (Apple Intelligence) for AI-powered translations
  • SwiftUI for user interface
  • iOS native storage for local data persistence

Data Security

Your translation history and preferences are stored securely on your device using iOS's built-in security features. This data is:

  • Protected by your device's encryption
  • Backed up to iCloud only if you have iCloud backup enabled (under your control)
  • Deleted when you uninstall the app
  • Never accessible to us or any third parties

Children's Privacy

How Can I Say does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect your data, there's no data for us to access, modify, or delete. You have complete control over your data:

  • Delete translation history within the app at any time
  • Uninstall the app to remove all local data
  • Manage app permissions in iOS Settings
