Privacy statement
Effective May 25th, 2023
Thank you for using Tale, a daily journal without the writing. Tale understands the importance of privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with our app. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and disclose your data. By using Tale, you agree to the terms and practices described in this policy.
1. Ownership and Usage
Tale acknowledges that you retain full ownership and control over all content and data you share or generate using the app, including voice memos, summaries, and topics. Tale claims no rights to anything you create or share. We will never use your user-generated content for commercial purposes, such as advertising, selling, or exchanging data. Our sole purpose is to provide the primary services offered in-app, such as journaling.
2. Minimization
Tale strives to know as little as possible about you. We only access and retain your data when necessary for fulfilling the app's primary purposes. We do not use any third-party tracking to gather additional information about you. By minimizing data collection, we aim to respect your privacy and ensure that you have control over your personal information.
3. Transparency and Control
Tale believes in transparency and provides visibility into the information we know about you. Within the app, you can view all the data we have collected. Additionally, you have the freedom to export or delete your data from Tale at any time. You can perform these actions directly in-app or by contacting us at privacy@taleapp.co. We are committed to honoring your choices and respecting your control over your own data.
4. Security
Tale takes the security of your data seriously and employs measures to protect it. We use encryption at rest for our databases, ensuring that your information is securely stored. All communication between Tale and our servers is encrypted-in-transit, safeguarding your data during transmission. We also implement on-device encryption based on your Tale passcode to provide an additional layer of security. This means that only you can access your encrypted data using your unique passcode.
5. Data Storage and Processing
Your data is stored in the European Union (EU) region, where we prioritize data protection in accordance with applicable privacy laws. However, please note that to provide you with the best possible service, your data may be temporarily processed outside of the EU. When data is processed outside the EU, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy and that such processing is done in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
6. Research Group Members
By consenting to have your information used for the further improvement of Tale, you contribute to enhancing the app's features and functionality. We appreciate your participation and assure you that any research involving your data will be conducted with the utmost care and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
7. Information Sharing
Tale does not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following circumstances:
- With your explicit consent: We may share your information with third parties if you have given us explicit consent to do so.
- For legal reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, or legal process, or in response to a valid subpoena or court order.
- Business transfers: If Tale undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Please note that Tale may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated or controlled by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit.
