Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Freq Talk ("the App") is developed by Genyus. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data the App collects and how it is used.

1. Data We Collect

We do not collect personal data. The App does not require an email address, phone number, or account creation. You choose a display name (pseudo) that is stored locally on your device.

2. Voice Messages

• Voice messages are recorded on your device and uploaded to Apple's CloudKit service for delivery to frequency members.
• Messages are ephemeral by design: they expire and are deleted within 10 minutes of being sent.
• Audio files are stored temporarily in Apple's CloudKit public database and are automatically removed after expiration.
• We do not listen to, analyze, transcribe, or store your voice messages on any server we control.

3. iCloud & CloudKit

The App uses Apple's CloudKit (public database) to synchronize frequencies, members, and voice messages between devices. CloudKit is operated entirely by Apple under their own privacy policy. We do not operate any backend servers.

4. Data Stored on Your Device

• Display name — stored in UserDefaults
• User identifier — a random UUID stored in the iOS Keychain (not linked to your Apple ID)
• Frequency list — cached locally for offline access
• Listened message IDs — stored locally to prevent replay

None of this data is transmitted to us or any third party.

5. Push Notifications

The App uses Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) via CloudKit subscriptions to notify you of new voice messages. Notification content (channel name, sender name) is generated by CloudKit, not by our servers.

6. Analytics & Tracking

The App does not use any analytics SDK, advertising framework, or tracking technology. We do not use the IDFA. We do not track your usage in any way.

7. Third-Party Services

The App relies solely on Apple's native services (CloudKit, APNs, AVFoundation). No third-party SDKs are embedded in the App.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Data Deletion

Since we do not collect personal data, there is no data to delete. Voice messages auto-delete within 10 minutes. You can delete your local data by uninstalling the App. To remove your membership from a frequency, use the "Leave" button in the App.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
