SimpleKeysVoice — Privacy Policy

SimpleKeysVoice is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) letter board app for iPad. This policy explains exactly what data the app accesses, where it stays, and what we never do with it.

SimpleKeysVoice collects no personal data whatsoever. Everything you type stays on your device. There are no user accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics SDKs, and no advertising of any kind.

Data stored on your device

SimpleKeysVoice stores the following data locally on your iPad only:

Shortcut phrases you save (stored via SwiftData, on-device only)
Text currently composed in the compose bar (saved across app launches via on-device storage)
No other data is stored

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly back it up through Apple's iCloud or device backup, which is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Speech (text-to-speech)

SimpleKeysVoice reads your composed text aloud using Apple's on-device AVSpeechSynthesizer framework. No audio is recorded, transmitted, or stored. If you have set up Personal Voice (iOS 17+), that voice is accessed locally through Apple's framework — no voice data is ever sent to us.

Data we do not collect

No analytics or usage tracking of any kind
No crash reporting services
No advertising identifiers (IDFA or otherwise)
No location data
No contact information or user registration
No health or medical data
No third-party SDKs that collect data
No network requests made by the app (aside from App Store purchase validation handled by Apple)

App Store purchase

SimpleKeysVoice is a one-time purchase sold through the App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We never see or store your payment information. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Children's privacy

SimpleKeysVoice is designed for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
