Summary

ߒߞߏ Bridge does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The app works entirely offline. There are no user accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs.

---

Data Collection

We collect no data. Specifically:

---

Microphone Usage

Purpose: Voice-to-text input for Manding language speech recognition.

How it works:
1. User taps the microphone button in the Bridge view
2. iOS prompts for microphone permission (one-time)
3. Audio is captured and processed using Apple's Speech framework (`SFSpeechRecognizer`)
4. Speech recognition runs on-device (iOS 17+ on-device models)
5. Recognized text is transliterated into N'Ko, Latin, and Arabic scripts
6. Audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted

NSMicrophoneUsageDescription:
> "ߒߞߏ Bridge uses the microphone for voice-to-text input. Speak in Manding and see your words in N'Ko, Latin, and Arabic scripts. Audio is processed on your device and never leaves it."

---

Speech Recognition Usage

Purpose: Converting spoken Manding words into text for transliteration.

How it works:
1. Uses Apple's `SFSpeechRecognizer` with on-device recognition
2. On iOS 17+, speech recognition runs entirely on-device — no audio is sent to Apple servers
3. On older iOS versions, Apple's standard speech recognition pipeline may process audio per Apple's own privacy policy
4. The app itself never transmits audio data to any server

NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription:
> "ߒߞߏ Bridge uses speech recognition to convert your spoken Manding words into text. Recognition happens on your device. Your voice data is never sent to our servers."

Keyboard Extension Privacy

The N'Ko keyboard extension has the strongest privacy guarantees:

• No keystroke logging: Individual keystrokes are never recorded or stored
• No network access: The keyboard extension makes zero network requests
• No Full Access required: Basic keyboard functionality works without "Allow Full Access"
• If Full Access is enabled: The keyboard gains access to a shared App Group container to sync:
• Keyboard layout preference (N'Ko standard, Latin transliteration, Arabic)
• Word frequency data for predictive text (stored locally, never transmitted)
• Open Access note: Per Apple's documentation, keyboard extensions without Full Access cannot access the network, and we don't request it even with Full Access enabled

---

Third-Party SDKs

None. ߒߞߏ Bridge uses exclusively Apple first-party frameworks:

No analytics SDKs (no Firebase, no Amplitude, no Mixpanel)
No advertising SDKs (no AdMob, no Facebook Ads)
No crash reporting SDKs (no Crashlytics, no Sentry)
No social SDKs (no Facebook, no Twitter)
No attribution SDKs (no Adjust, no AppsFlyer)

---

Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on the user's device:

• Cultural data (proverbs, blessings, greetings): Bundled in the app binary as read-only JSON files
• User preferences (keyboard layout, display settings): Stored in UserDefaults (on-device)
• Word frequency data (for predictive text): Stored in shared App Group container (on-device)
• No cloud sync, no iCloud, no server storage

---

Children's Privacy

ߒߞߏ Bridge does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is rated 4+ and contains no objectionable content.

---

Data Retention

Since we collect no data, there is nothing to retain or delete. All user-generated content (typed text, voice input) is transient and exists only in the app's active memory while in use.

---

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Since the app contains no mechanism for push notifications or communication, users should check this page periodically.
