2. About Seda

Seda is an application that may allow users to:

• record audio
• import audio or other files
• generate transcripts
• generate summaries, notes, action items, or similar outputs
• export transcripts, summaries, or related documents
• store or organise sessions and generated content
• 3. Information we collect

Depending on how you use Seda, we may collect the following categories of information.

a. Information you provide directly

This may include:

• your name
• email address
• account information
• support requests and correspondence
• content you upload, record, import, or create in the app
• b. Audio, transcript, and generated content

If you use recording, import, transcription, summarisation, or export features, we may process:

• audio recordings
• imported audio files
• transcripts
• summaries
• speaker labels
• action items, notes, or other generated outputs
• exported files or documents
• c. Device and usage information

We may collect limited technical information such as:

• device model
• operating system version
• app version
• language
• crash logs
• diagnostic information
• feature usage events
• d. Transaction information

If Seda offers paid features, subscriptions, or purchases, payment and billing information may be processed by third-party providers such as Apple. We do not generally receive full payment card details.

4. How we collect information

We collect information:

• directly from you when you use Seda
• automatically through your use of the app
• from your device, where permissions are granted
• from service providers that support app functionality, hosting, analytics, crash reporting, payments, or AI processing
• 5. Why we collect and use information

We may collect and use information to:

• provide, operate, and maintain Seda
• process recordings, imports, transcripts, summaries, and exports
• authenticate users and manage accounts, if accounts are offered
• process purchases and subscriptions
• improve app performance, reliability, and features
• diagnose bugs, crashes, and security issues
• respond to support requests
• communicate service, billing, or policy updates
• comply with legal obligations
• detect, prevent, and investigate misuse, fraud, or security incidents
• 6. On-device and cloud processing

Seda may support on-device processing, where audio or content is processed locally on your device.

Seda may also support cloud-based processing or third-party AI features for some functionality. Where cloud processing is used, relevant data may be transmitted to trusted third-party service providers strictly for the purpose of providing the requested feature.

If processing occurs on-device, your recordings and generated content may remain stored locally on your device unless you choose to export, sync, back up, or share them.

If cloud-assisted features are used, we may send relevant data such as audio, transcript segments, prompts, or generated outputs to trusted service providers to perform transcription, summarisation, storage, sync, analytics, crash reporting, or related services.

7. Sensitive information and your responsibilities

Audio recordings and transcripts may contain sensitive or personal information about you or other people. You are responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary rights, notices, and consents before recording, uploading, importing, or processing any content through Seda.

You must not use Seda in a way that breaches privacy, surveillance, employment, confidentiality, or other applicable laws.

8. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information:

• with service providers who help us operate Seda
• with payment processors and app platform providers
• with analytics, crash reporting, hosting, storage, or AI infrastructure providers
• where required by law, regulation, court order, or lawful request
• where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or the public
• in connection with a business restructure, merger, acquisition, or asset sale
• 9. International data transfers

Some service providers may store or process data outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that information is handled with appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

10. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• provide the Services
• maintain user accounts
• resolve disputes
• comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations
• enforce our agreements

If Seda stores data locally on your device, you can generally delete app data by deleting recordings, transcripts, exports, or the app itself, subject to any synced or backed-up copies.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• access personal information we hold about you
• request correction of inaccurate information
• request deletion of your information in certain circumstances
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• object to certain processing where applicable

You may also:

• manage app permissions through your device settings
• delete recordings, files, or content within the app
• cancel subscriptions through the relevant app store or payment provider

We request permissions only where needed for app functionality. You can manage permissions through your device settings.
