Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 27, 2025 · Last updated: June 27, 2025

Dornio ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. What Dornio does not collect

Dornio is an offline, on-device application. We do not collect, transmit or store:

• Your voice recordings or audio data
• The text you dictate or type
• Your dictionary entries, shortcuts, or AI prompts
• The contents of any file, email, message, or document you dictate into
• Your name, email address, or any personal identifier
• Your location

All speech recognition, AI text correction, and personalisation features run entirely on your device using locally downloaded models. No data leaves your device for these functions.

2. Anonymous usage analytics (optional)

Dornio may send anonymous, aggregate usage events to help us improve the app. This is opt-out — you can disable it at any time in Settings → Privacy.

If analytics is enabled, we may collect:

• App lifecycle events (e.g. "recording started", "model downloaded")
• A randomly generated device identifier (never tied to your identity)
• App version and Android version
• Country code (derived from IP at time of request; IP is not stored)

We do not collect voice data, transcribed text, or any content you produce within the app via analytics.

3. Subscription and billing

Dornio subscriptions are processed entirely by Google Play. We do not handle or store your payment card details. Your subscription status is verified locally through the Google Play Billing API. We receive only a non-identifying purchase token from Google to confirm entitlement.

4. Permissions we request

• Microphone — required to capture your voice for dictation. Audio is processed locally and is never sent to our servers.
• Accessibility service — required to insert text into other apps and detect the focused text field. We do not read, log, or transmit any screen content or keystrokes.
• Display over other apps — required to show the floating mic button on top of other applications.
• Post notifications — used to show trial reminders (Android 13+).

5. Data retention

All user data (dictionary, shortcuts, AI prompts, settings, trial state) is stored locally on your device in Android SharedPreferences or the app's private storage. Uninstalling Dornio removes all locally stored data.

6. Third-party services

• Google Play Billing — manages subscription payments. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Sherpa-onnx — the open-source speech recognition library runs locally on your device. No data is sent to any third party.

7. Children's privacy

Dornio is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
