Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Rhetoriq is developed by AppDev020. For questions about this policy, you can get in touch via appdev020@proton.me.
2. What data we process
Submitted text, audio and images
When you submit text, a URL, an audio recording or a photo for analysis, this content is sent to our processing server (Google Cloud, region europe-west1). The server forwards the content to the following AI services:
- Claude (Anthropic) — for text analysis, response generation and image text recognition (OCR)
- Whisper (OpenAI) — for transcription of audio recordings
- Jina — for retrieving and converting web article content via a URL
Submitted content is not permanently stored by us on the server. The server acts solely as a relay to the aforementioned AI services.
We use the business APIs of these services. As such, submitted content is not used to train AI models — this is the standard policy of Anthropic, OpenAI and Jina for API usage, in contrast to their free consumer versions.
Analysis history
Completed analyses and generated responses are stored exclusively on your device. This data does not leave your device unless you share it yourself.
Usage statistics
We use Firebase Analytics (Google) to measure which screens and features are used (for example, starting and completing a quiz or practice session, generating a reply, or reaching a credit limit). This happens via a pseudonymous identifier tied to your device — not to your name, email address, or submitted content. By default, Firebase Analytics also collects general device and app information (such as device type, operating system version, app version, and language/region settings). This data is used to improve the app and not for advertising purposes. This is on by default, but you can turn it off at any time via Settings → Data → Share Usage Statistics in the app.
3. What we do not do
- We do not sell data to third parties
- We do not link submitted content to user profiles
- We do not store submitted text, audio or images outside of processing
- We do not use advertising networks and do not show ads
- We do not use submitted content to train AI models

5. Security
All communication between the app and our server takes place via HTTPS. Firebase App Check is used to verify that requests originate from the official Rhetoriq app.
6. Children
Rhetoriq is not intended for children under the age of 13.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. The most recent version is always available via the link in the Play Store.
