Privacy policy
BaatIQ is an app by Kloudfirst Nextgen Systems Private Limited. This policy explains what the app keeps on your device, what it sends, and how to reach us.
The short version
- Your recordings, transcripts, summaries, drafts and notes stay on your device. BaatIQ turns speech into text and writes summaries on the device itself; none of this content is sent to us or to anyone else.
- BaatIQ has no account. We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number.
- Two things can be sent, and only if you agree: crash reports and usage statistics. You choose when you first open the app, and you can turn either off at any time in Storage & models, under Privacy.
What stays on your device
Everything you record, import, paste or type in BaatIQ: audio, transcripts, summaries, follow-up drafts, note titles, groups, speaker names, the "About me" and "People & glossary" entries, and what you search for. It is stored encrypted on your device and is deleted when you delete it in the app or uninstall BaatIQ. Text you copy or share from BaatIQ leaves the app only because you chose to send it, through the app you choose.
The app downloads its speech and summary model from the internet once. That download sends nothing about you or your notes.
Backup, only if you turn it on
If you turn on backup, BaatIQ keeps an encrypted copy of your notes in your own Google Drive (in a hidden folder only BaatIQ can see) or your own iCloud, every day while your phone charges. Everything is encrypted on your phone before it leaves. The key that opens it is kept in your passkey (Google Password Manager), your iCloud Keychain or a recovery code that only you have, so neither we nor Google nor Apple can read your notes. Google or Apple can see how many encrypted files there are and how big they are. We run no server for backups and receive nothing. Turning backup off stops it; the last backup stays in your account until you delete it there.
What is sent, only with your consent
Crash reports (when "Crash reports" is on). If BaatIQ crashes or a task fails, a report is sent to Sentry, our crash reporting provider, which stores it in the EU. A report holds technical details only: where in the code the problem happened, the error type, the app version, the device model and system version, memory and storage figures, and which step of a task failed. It never holds your recordings, text, note titles or file names, and never the error message itself.
Usage statistics (when "Usage statistics" is on). BaatIQ sends counts of how its features are used to Google Analytics for Firebase: which screens are opened, whether onboarding, the device check and the model download worked, and how long processing took, in broad ranges. Firebase also records the device model, system version, app version and an approximate country derived from the internet connection. No advertising ID is collected, and nothing is used for advertising.
Feedback (only when you send it). If you use Send feedback, your message is sent to Sentry, with the device details and recent error codes shown on that screen if you leave them attached.
Each install has random IDs used by Sentry and Firebase to group reports from the same install. They are not linked to your name or any account. We do not sell or share this data with anyone else.
The website waitlist
If you join the waitlist on baatiq.com, we keep your email address and whether you use Android or iPhone, with the time you joined. It is stored in Google Cloud Firestore in Mumbai, India, and is not shown on the website or shared with anyone. We use it only to invite you to test BaatIQ and to tell you when it is ready. We keep it until you ask us to remove it, or until BaatIQ is publicly available on your phone, whichever comes first. The app itself never sees your waitlist entry.
How long it is kept
Crash reports and feedback are kept for up to 90 days. Usage statistics are kept for up to 14 months. Turning off crash reports or usage statistics stops new data from being sent; it does not delete what was sent before.
Deleting your data
To delete your notes, delete them in the app, or uninstall BaatIQ. To ask for the crash reports, feedback or usage statistics sent from your device to be deleted, follow the steps on deleting your data.
Children
BaatIQ is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If what BaatIQ sends changes, this policy and the in-app "What is sent" page will change first, and the app will ask for your consent again.
