1. Data We Collect

No account required: You do not sign in to use the App for core features. We do not collect email addresses or passwords for App access.
Local profile (on your device only): Optional display name, age group, and profile picture. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us as account or registration data.
Usage data (on your device): Up to 10 most recent translation entries, stored locally.
Bundled offline dictionary: The App includes a built-in bilingual dictionary for single-word lookups between English and Anishininewmowin syllabics. Dictionary lookups are performed on your device and are not sent to our servers.
Content processed online: When you use network-based translation (full phrases or sentences, not covered by the offline dictionary), text you submit may be sent to our servers and translation backend to return a result. If you use speech features, audio may be sent for speech-to-text processing. Communications you send when you contact support may be retained to respond to you.
Crash and error reporting: We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error diagnostics to improve stability. Reports may include app version, device type, and technical error details; they are used for troubleshooting, not advertising.
Anonymized Analytics Data:
- Usage patterns and feature adoption (fully anonymized).
- System performance metrics and API usage statistics.
- All analytics data is collected using rotating anonymous IDs that change daily.
- IP addresses are truncated to protect your privacy.
- No personal identification information (PII) is stored with analytics.
- Automated PII detection rejects any data containing personal information.
- No translation content is stored in analytics databases.
Translation Collection for Model Improvement:
- Anonymized translation pairs (source and target text only).
- Language pair preferences and quality indicators (no user identification).
- Used solely for improving translation accuracy.
- All data is anonymized and cannot be linked to individual users.
- Translation data is owned by Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation (OCAP® principles).
- Automated PII detection prevents collection of personal information.
- Only text between 3-100 words is collected for quality purposes.
Device Permissions:
- Microphone: Used for speech-to-text and voice-related translation features.
- Camera: Optional, for taking a profile picture only.
- Internet access: Required for online translation, speech processing, analytics (if enabled), and crash reporting.
- Storage access: Needed to save app data and translations locally.

We do NOT collect: location data, advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking, contacts or address book information, or any keyboard input from our custom keyboard. We do not sell your personal information.

2. 🔒 Anishininewmowin Keyboard Extension

Our app includes an optional custom keyboard for typing in Anishininewmowin across all apps on your device.

🛡️ ZERO DATA COLLECTION

The keyboard does NOT collect, store, or transmit any text you type.
The keyboard does NOT track your typing patterns or behavior.
The keyboard does NOT access your contacts, photos, or personal information.
The keyboard does NOT require “Full Access” permission (iOS).
The keyboard does NOT require special permissions (Android).
The keyboard works completely OFFLINE – no internet connection needed.
All keyboard processing happens locally on your device.
No analytics, tracking, or data collection of any kind.

✨ How It Works

The keyboard is installed automatically with the app.
You must manually enable it in your device Settings.
The keyboard provides Anishininewmowin syllabics, numbers, symbols, and emojis.
Switch between keyboards using the 🌐 button.
The keyboard functions identically to your device’s built-in keyboard, just with Anishininewmowin characters.

🔐 Privacy Guarantee

The keyboard is as private as your device’s default keyboard.
Character input is handled directly by your device’s operating system.
The keyboard is sandboxed and isolated from other apps.
No data leaves your device through the keyboard.

⚙️ Enable/Disable

3. How We Use Your Data

App functionality: Provide translation (including offline dictionary lookups on device), process online translation and speech requests, display your optional local profile, and respond to support inquiries.
Stability: Diagnose crashes and errors via Sentry.
Product improvement: Aggregated or anonymized feedback and anonymized analytics to improve features.
Anonymized analytics: Understand app usage patterns and feature adoption (you can opt out in Preferences).
Translation model improvement: Through anonymized translation data collection, where you have provided consent in Preferences.

Important: All analytics and translation collection data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users.

4. Retention & Deletion

Local data (optional profile, translation history, preferences) remains on your device until you clear app data or uninstall the App.
Online translation requests are processed to return results; we retain only what is needed to operate the service in line with this Policy.
Translation history on device is limited to a maximum of 10 recent entries.
Analytics data on our systems is automatically cleaned up after 90 days.
Translation collection data (for model improvement, where consented) follows community-defined retention policies.
Support messages you send us may be retained as needed to respond and improve the App.

Delete your local data: Uninstall the App or clear app storage in your device settings to remove locally stored profile and history. For questions about server-side processing (analytics, translation improvement programs, or crash data), contact [email protected].

We do not sell your data.
We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers.
We do not use advertising networks or analytics for cross-app advertising profiling; optional anonymized analytics are described in this Policy.
We use trusted processors only to run the App (e.g., Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB for backend data, Sentry for crash reporting). They are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us.

6. Security

TLS 1.2+ encryption for data in transit.
Secure storage and access controls for server-side data in Microsoft Azure (including Cosmos DB where used) with encryption at rest.
Role‑based access for staff; production data is restricted.
Regular updates and infrastructure monitoring.
Automated PII detection and rejection.
Regular security audits and compliance reviews.

If a data breach affecting you occurs, we will notify you and regulators within 72 hours of discovery as required by law, provide clear information about what data was affected, outline steps we are taking to address the breach, and provide guidance on steps you can take to protect yourself.

7. Your Rights & Choices

You may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you where applicable law applies. Because the App does not use sign-in accounts, most information stays on your device. To exercise these rights or ask about data we process on our servers:

Remove local data by uninstalling the App or clearing app data in device settings, and
Email [email protected]

Additional Rights:

Opt-out of anonymized analytics collection (via Preferences in the app).
Control translation data collection consent (via Preferences – express consent required).
Opt-out of communications.
Remove optional information at any time.
Control app permissions through device settings.

You can manage your consent preferences at any time in the Preferences section of the app. Your choices will be respected immediately upon change.

8. Managing Permissions

You can manage the app’s permissions at any time through your device settings:

iOS: Settings → [App Name] → Permissions
Android: Settings → Apps → [App Name] → Permissions

While some permissions are essential for core functionality (e.g., internet access for translations), you can enable or disable optional permissions based on your preferences. If new permissions are introduced, you will be asked for consent.
