Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 6, 2026

Developer Can DEVECIOGLU built the Verdict app as a Freemium app. This SERVICE is provided by the developer and is intended for use as is.

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use Verdict. By using the Service, you agree to these policies.

How Verdict Works

Verdict is a voice-based behavioral pattern analysis tool. You speak into your device’s microphone, your voice is recorded and converted into a text transcript on your device, and that transcript is sent to a third-party AI service (OpenAI) for analysis. The AI generates behavioral pattern observations based on your words. Your original audio recording never leaves your device.

What Data We Collect and How

The following describes every type of data Verdict collects, how it is collected, and how it is used:

1. Voice Recordings Collected via your device’s microphone when you hold the record button and speak. Stored locally on your device only. Never uploaded to any server. Never shared with any third party. You can delete recordings at any time within the app.

2. Text Transcripts Generated from your voice recording on your device. Sent to OpenAI’s API solely for the purpose of generating behavioral pattern analysis. Not permanently stored on our servers. Not permanently stored by OpenAI. Not used by OpenAI to train AI models. No personally identifiable information is attached to these requests.

3. AI-Generated Analysis Results Generated by OpenAI based on your text transcript and returned to the app. Stored locally on your device only. Never synced to any cloud server or external database. You can delete individual analyses at any time within the app.

4. Emotional State Data Derived from your text transcript as part of the AI analysis. Represents emotional patterns detected in your speech. Stored locally on your device only. Never shared externally.

5. Anonymous Usage Analytics Collected via Google Firebase for app performance monitoring and crash reporting. May include device type, operating system version, app configuration, and timestamps. Does not include your voice recordings, transcripts, or analysis results. Not linked to your identity.

6. Subscription Data Processed by RevenueCat through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Includes purchase status and subscription period. We do not have access to your payment details, credit card information, or Apple ID.

User Consent

Before your first recording, Verdict displays a consent screen explaining that your voice stays on your device, the text transcript is sent to OpenAI for analysis, and your audio is never uploaded or used to train AI models. You must acknowledge this information before any data is processed. No data is sent to any third party without your prior consent.

Log Data

In the event of an error in the app, we may collect anonymous log data through third-party services. This Log Data may include your device type, operating system version, app configuration, timestamps, and other diagnostic statistics. This data does not include your voice recordings, transcripts, or analysis results.

Cookies

Verdict does not use cookies. However, third-party services integrated into the app may use their own tracking technologies as described in their respective privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

Verdict is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. The app’s content involves behavioral pattern analysis that is designed for adult users. If you believe a child under 16 has used the Service, please contact us.

Data Deletion

You have full control over your data. Within the app, you can delete individual case analyses at any time. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data from your device. Since we do not store your voice recordings, transcripts, or analysis results on our servers, there is no server-side data to delete. If you wish to confirm that no residual data remains, please contact us.

Security

We value your trust and employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information during transmission and processing. Data sent to OpenAI is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
