Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Franca is a live voice interpreter for iPhone. This policy explains, in plain language, what data the app touches and what happens to it. The short version: your conversations are processed live to translate them, they are not stored, and we don't run ads, analytics, or trackers.

Audio and conversations

When you start a session, microphone audio is streamed over an encrypted connection to our translation service so it can be interpreted in real time. The service runs on Cloudflare's network and uses Google's Gemini API to perform the actual speech translation. Audio is processed as it arrives to produce the translation and is not kept afterwards.

• We do not store your audio. Sessions are never recorded for users of the app. (A diagnostic recording mode exists solely for the developer's own test devices during development.)
• Transcripts stay on your device. The written conversation you see on screen is held in the app only and disappears when the conversation is cleared or the app is deleted.
• Google processes audio as an API request under the Gemini API terms for paid services, which do not permit using your data to train their models.

Identifiers

The app generates a random identifier the first time it runs. It is not derived from you or your device and is not linked to your name, Apple ID, phone number, or email. We use it to:

• authorize your device with the translation service,
• keep track of your remaining interpreting time, and
• attach purchases you make to your remaining time (via RevenueCat, see below).

Purchases

Subscriptions and time packs are billed by Apple through your App Store account — we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and notify our service to credit your interpreting time. RevenueCat receives your random identifier and purchase receipt data, nothing more. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Usage metering

To make time-based plans work, our service keeps a counter of interpreted speech seconds per random identifier. This is a number, not a recording — it contains nothing about what was said.

What we don't do

• No advertising and no ad networks.
• No analytics or tracking SDKs.
• No selling or sharing of data with data brokers.
• No account, email, or sign-up required.

Data retention and deletion

Transcripts live only on your device — deleting the app deletes them. Server-side, the only durable records are your remaining-time balance and usage counter, keyed by the random identifier. To have those deleted, email us your device ID (shown in the app under Settings) and we'll remove them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to complain to a supervisory authority. Because Franca holds almost nothing about you, the fastest path for any request is simply to contact us.

Children

Franca is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
