1. Introduction
科創互聯科技有限公司 (TechCreate Connect Limited) ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
- Account Information: Phone number, verification code, username, avatar, and industry and role preferences
- User-Generated Content: Voice recordings, transcriptions, summaries, and generated deliverables (such as PPTs and infographics)
- Imported Materials: Audio files, documents, file names, file formats, file sizes, and parsed text content that you actively upload or import
- Account and Login Information: Phone number, verification results, third-party authorization identifiers, binding status, and account security verification information
- AI Memory and Preference Information: Industry or occupation information that you confirm or modify, personal vocabulary, memory-related terms, speaker names, voiceprint or voice-related identifiers, template favorites, and sharing preferences. Voiceprint or voice-related information is sensitive personal information. We process it only after you actively enroll, confirm, or enable the relevant feature, and we provide controls to disable or clear it.
- Third-Party Information in Reception Recordings: When you use recording, transcription, summarization, or analysis features during sales receptions, customer communications, meetings, or similar scenarios, recordings may contain the voices and conversations of customers, accompanying persons, colleagues, or other participants, as well as information identified or inferred by AI from those conversations.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information: Device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers
- Usage Data: How you interact with the App, features used, and recording history
- Audio Data: Voice recordings you create, which are processed for transcription and summarization
- Necessary Service Status Records: Notification authorization status, notification sending and click status, service SMS authorization and sending status, task processing status, and similar records used for service delivery, troubleshooting, and frequency control
- Basic Feature Usage Records: Basic operation records generated when you use login, recording, import, generation, sharing, deletion, and similar features. We do not report recording transcripts or full document text as ordinary behavior records.
- Advertising Attribution Information: When you download or use the App through Apple Ads, we may obtain an advertising attribution token through Apple's AdServices and collect the device identifier, App version, operating system version, and account identifier (if you are logged in). We may also obtain attribution results related to the installation, such as the campaign, ad group, keyword, and conversion type.
2.3 Permissions and Data Access
The App requests the following permissions to provide its services:
| Permission | Data Accessed | Purpose |
| Microphone | Audio input | Record voice for transcription and content generation |
| Speech Recognition | Voice-to-text | Convert your speech to text in real time |
| Camera | Photo capture | Take photos for your profile avatar |
| Photo Library | Stored images | Select images for your profile avatar |
| File Selection | Audio or document files you actively select | Import audio or documents and generate analysis, summaries, or deliverables |
| System Notifications | Device notification identifier and notification authorization status | Send necessary service notifications related to recording protection, sync issues, generated results, pending tasks, and account security |
| Clipboard Writing | Share text or links | Copy share text or links after you confirm sharing; we do not proactively read your clipboard content |
| Share | System share sheet | Share generated content (PPTs, infographics, and similar content) through your device |
We access data only within the stated purpose of each permission and only to the extent necessary.
2.4 Google Sign-In
When you use Google Sign-In, the Google Sign-In SDK may make your Google account identifier, name, and email address available to CoHear, together with authentication credentials such as an ID token and server authorization code. CoHear uses the ID token and server authorization code to authenticate your CoHear account with the CoHear backend. The current app sends these authentication credentials as explicit Google login parameters; your name or email address may be used locally as a display-name fallback. The app does not request additional Google API scopes. Google processes authentication and related technical information in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
2.5 Firebase Analytics
If Firebase Analytics is enabled in the submitted version, it may automatically collect app-instance identifiers, device and app information, session and usage data, and approximate location derived from network information. On iOS, advertising identifiers such as IDFA require the appropriate Apple framework and user authorization; other device identifiers may still be used. Firebase Analytics is provided by Google and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4. AI and Speech Recognition Service Processing
When you use recording, audio import, document import, transcription, summarization, PPT or infographic generation, or similar features, we process the necessary content that you provide or that is generated by those features, including recorded audio, imported audio, parsed document text, text input, transcriptions, meeting content, summaries, and generation requests.
To provide these features, we upload necessary content to Wucaishi servers for processing by the speech-recognition and large-language-model services that we integrate. The relevant data is not used for advertising, advertising profiles, or marketing purposes unrelated to the App's features.
Before you first use a relevant AI feature, we will display an AI data-processing authorization notice in the App. After you agree, you may continue to use recording, import, transcription, summarization, and content-generation features. You may also turn off this authorization in Me > Account & Security Management > AI Permission Management in the App. After you turn it off, the relevant features may no longer be available, but historical content that has already been generated will not be automatically deleted.
We require relevant service providers to process data under protection standards no lower than those described in this Privacy Policy and not to use the data for purposes unrelated to the App's features.
To provide the App's core features, we send necessary data to the following third-party service providers. We restrict their processing to the purposes we specify through data-processing agreements, terms of service, or other reasonable means, and require security measures no less protective than those described in this Policy.
| Service | Operator | Data Involved | Processing Purpose |
| BytePlus ASR | BytePlus | Recorded audio | Speech-to-text transcription |
| Qwen3.7-Plus (International Model Studio) | Alibaba Cloud (International Model Studio) | Transcriptions and text input | Voice analysis, summarization, and PPT and infographic generation |
5. Special Notice About Third-Party Information in Reception Recordings
The App's recording, transcription, summarization, and analysis features may be used during sales receptions, customer communications, meetings, or similar scenarios. These recordings generally come from real conversations between you and customers, accompanying persons, colleagues, or other participants and may therefore contain third-party personal information, including:
- The voices and conversation content of customers, accompanying persons, or other participants;
- Information identified or inferred by AI from the conversations; and
- Speaker distinctions and role labels based on voice characteristics for transcription and analysis.
Speaker distinctions and role labels are used only to complete the transcription, summarization, and analysis of the current recording. They are not used to build a voiceprint database for identifying customers or accompanying persons across recordings.
As an App user, before recording, uploading, or submitting relevant content, you are responsible for:
- Providing the customers, accompanying persons, or other participants being recorded with the notices required by applicable laws and obtaining any necessary consent;
- Ensuring that you have a lawful basis to collect, upload, and submit the relevant third-party information for processing by the App; and
- Not using analyses, summaries, or deliverables generated by the App for unlawful, discriminatory, or otherwise harmful purposes.
We process these recordings and derived information only as a technical service provider acting on your instructions. If you cannot obtain the required consent or do not have a lawful basis, do not record, upload, or submit the relevant content.
6. Data Storage and Security
- Your data is stored on secure servers and cloud storage (such as OSS) with appropriate encryption
- We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information
- Voice recordings and transcriptions are associated with your account and accessible only to you, unless you choose to share them
- After you confirm sharing, an external share page may be stored as an independent snapshot. Please confirm that the content is appropriate for external sharing before you share it.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With third-party vendors that assist in operating the App, such as cloud storage, speech recognition, and push notification providers
- Third-Party Capability Providers: To implement login, SMS, push notifications, cloud storage, speech recognition, AI generation, WeChat/DingTalk/Feishu login or sharing, and similar functions, we may provide the relevant service providers with the minimum information necessary to complete the function. Processing by speech-recognition and large-language-model services is governed by the AI and Speech Recognition Service Processing section of this Policy.
- Legal Requirements: When disclosure is required by law, court order, or government request
- Protection of Rights: To protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others
8. Data Retention
- We retain your account information and user-generated content for as long as your account remains active
- Audio, documents, transcriptions, summaries, and generated deliverables are stored with your account unless you delete them or cancel your account
- Deleted audio and deliverables may first enter a recycle bin and be retained for a certain period, by default 30 days. Once permanently deleted or expired, they cannot be recovered.
- Share pages that have already been generated and shared externally may remain as share snapshots. Deleting the source audio or deliverable does not necessarily revoke an existing share page unless the product provides a closing or revocation capability.
- You may request deletion of your data by contacting us at
ai@cohear.work
- We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes
9. Your Rights and Choices

- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Opt Out of Notifications: Disable system notifications in your device settings, or disable or refuse service SMS authorization in the App
- Revoke Permissions: Revoke microphone, camera, photo library, system notification, and similar permissions at any time through your device settings
- Turn Off AI Data-Processing Authorization: Turn off authorization in Me > Account & Security Management > AI Permission Management in the App. After you turn it off, recording transcription, imported-material parsing, summarization, and content generation may no longer be available.
- Manage AI Memory: View, edit, or delete your personal vocabulary; disable or clear your personal voiceprint; and modify related display names
- Manage Sharing: Confirm that content is appropriate for external sharing before you share it. Generated share snapshots may exist independently from the source content.
10. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under the age of 14. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14. If we discover that we have collected such information, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law or obtain authorization from the child's guardian.
11. International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed and stored on servers located in the People's Republic of China or other jurisdictions. By using the App, you consent to such transfer and processing.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the App or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
