YapSend Privacy Policy

1. Who operates YapSend

YapSend is developed and published under the Thamizhi Studios name. In this policy, “YapSend,” “Thamizhi Studios,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the developer and operator of the YapSend app and YapSend-controlled services.

This policy applies to the YapSend mobile app and YapSend-controlled backend services. It does not govern third-party apps, AI providers, app stores, messaging services, or websites that have their own privacy practices.

2. Information YapSend handles

YapSend only needs information related to the features you choose to use.

3. What stays on your device

YapSend is designed to keep your saved user content under your control on your phone. YapSend does not intentionally maintain a permanent YapSend-controlled cloud copy of your:

• original voice recordings;
• typed or transcribed message history;
• generated message text;
• generated audio library;
• saved personal voice profile or persistent voice clone; or
• local app history and preferences.

Content stored on your device remains there until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app, subject to your device operating system and any device backup settings you control.

4. Cloud processing is different from cloud storage

Some YapSend features require remote processing. When you request one of those features, YapSend may transmit the minimum content and settings needed to perform that request through YapSend-controlled backend services and then to one or more AI or audio providers.

For example, a cloud request may include message text for rewriting or translation, an audio recording for transcription, a recording plus final text for same-voice generation, or generated text and performance settings for speech or music generation.

5. AI and audio providers

Depending on the feature and service availability, YapSend may use third-party infrastructure and AI providers such as Cloudflare, ElevenLabs, and Fish Audio. Providers may change as YapSend improves or replaces service components.

These providers receive information only when it is needed to perform the feature you requested. Once information is transmitted to a third-party provider, that provider processes it on systems that YapSend does not own or control.

YapSend cannot guarantee, control, or make promises about a third-party provider's independent logging, retention, model-improvement practices, security, international processing, or deletion practices. Those practices are governed by the provider's own terms, privacy policy, contractual commitments, settings, and applicable law. You should review the relevant provider's privacy information if this is important to your decision to use a cloud-powered feature.

YapSend does not train its own AI models on your message or voice content.

6. Same-voice feature

If you choose a same-voice feature, YapSend may send the current recording as request-scoped reference material to the voice provider together with the text that should be performed.

YapSend does not intentionally create or maintain a persistent YapSend voice clone from that recording. The reference is used for the current generation request. The provider's handling of information after receipt is subject to the provider's own practices described above.

You should only submit a voice that you have the right and permission to use.

7. Microphone and device permissions

YapSend may request microphone permission so you can record speech and use voice-based features. The microphone is used when you activate a recording feature. YapSend may also use normal device storage and sharing capabilities to save, play, export, and share files you create.

You can manage app permissions through your device settings. Disabling a permission may prevent the related feature from working.

8. Sharing content with other apps

When you choose to share YapSend output, your device may hand the selected text or audio to another app, such as a messaging, social, email, or file-storage app. After you choose to share it, the receiving app's privacy policy and data practices apply. YapSend does not control what the receiving service or recipient does with content you send.

9. Purchases and app-store services

If YapSend offers paid features, purchases may be processed by Google Play, Apple, or another authorized app-store/payment platform. YapSend does not receive your full payment-card number from those platforms. The store may provide transaction, entitlement, country, or purchase-status information needed to deliver the purchased feature and prevent fraud.

10. Advertising and sale of personal data

YapSend does not sell your message or voice content. YapSend does not currently use your message or voice content for targeted advertising. If YapSend later introduces advertising, analytics, or materially different data practices, this policy will be updated before those practices are represented as part of the service.

11. Technical logs, security, and abuse prevention

YapSend and its hosting providers may process limited technical logs and service metadata needed to secure and operate the service. This can include an installation identifier, request ID, timestamp, endpoint, provider/model selection, latency, error or response status, approximate usage/cost measurements, and security or rate-limit information.

We do not intentionally use operational logging as a permanent archive of your message text or voice recordings. Infrastructure providers may independently retain logs according to their own systems and policies.

12. Data retention and deletion

Content stored by YapSend on your device

You control locally stored YapSend content through the app and your device. You can delete local items, clear the app's data, or uninstall YapSend.

YapSend-controlled backend content

The production service is designed not to maintain permanent server-side storage of user message, voice, or generated-audio content. Because that content is not intended to be retained by us as an account library, there may be no YapSend server copy available for us to retrieve or delete after processing has completed.

Third-party provider data

Third-party providers may have their own retention and deletion rules. YapSend cannot delete information from a provider when the provider does not expose that capability to YapSend or when the provider independently retains information under its own terms or legal obligations.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical measures intended to protect YapSend-controlled systems, including keeping service credentials out of the mobile app, limiting backend access, and using encrypted HTTPS connections for network requests. No networked service can guarantee absolute security.

14. Children

YapSend is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through YapSend, contact us so we can review the issue.

15. International processing

Cloud and AI providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. By requesting a cloud-powered feature, you understand that the information needed for that request may be transmitted to and processed on systems operated in other jurisdictions, subject to applicable law and the provider's practices.

16. Your privacy choices and rights

You can choose whether to record audio, whether to use optional same-voice features, what content to submit, what generated content to keep, and what to share. You can revoke microphone permission and delete locally stored YapSend data through your device.

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you additional rights regarding personal data that we control. You can contact us to make a privacy request. We may need enough information to understand and respond to the request. If YapSend does not possess the requested user content because it was never retained by us, we will explain that.

17. Legal requirements

We may disclose information we actually possess if required by applicable law, a valid legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or safety of YapSend, its users, or others. Our local-first design limits the user content we intentionally retain and therefore limits the content available to us for disclosure.

18. Changes to this policy

YapSend will evolve. We may update this Privacy Policy when features, providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. The current version will be published at this URL with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes will be reflected before the changed practice is represented as part of the production service.
