Tellable ("the App") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information the App handles and why.
No account required
You do not need to create an account or sign in to use the App. We do not collect or store personally identifying information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
Data stored on your device
The journal entries, text, recordings, tags, and settings you create are stored only in a database (SQLite) on your device. They are not stored on or synced to our servers. If you delete the App, this data is removed from your device.
Sending data for AI processing
When you use AI features such as transcription, feedback, rewriting, translation, or read-aloud, the relevant audio or text is sent to the following services for processing:
• Anthropic (Claude API) — generating, correcting, and translating text
• OpenAI — generating read-aloud audio (TTS)
• Cloudflare (Workers AI) — transcribing audio (Whisper) and relaying the API
Only the text or audio needed to run that feature is sent. This data is used solely for processing and is never used by us for advertising or to identify you. Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy with protections comparable to this one, and does not use the shared data for advertising or to train its own models. The app asks for your consent in-app before using any AI feature.
Microphone use
The microphone is used only while you are recording. Recordings are stored on your device and are sent to the services above only when you transcribe them. We never record in the background without your action.
Advertising and tracking
The App shows no ads and does not track you for advertising. Only if you allow it in the App, Google Analytics for Firebase receives app launch and activity dates, general device and OS information, and a random app-instance identifier so we can understand usage and improve the App. Analytics never includes your journal entries, text, recordings, name, or email address. You can change this choice anytime in Settings.
Deleting your data
You can delete individual journal entries within the App. To remove all data, delete the App from your device. Because all data lives on your device, deleting it erases it completely.
Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will note them in the App or on the store listing.
