Aloud: Talking Voice Reminder Privacy Policy

Aloud: Talking Voice Reminder – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

This policy explains how the Aloud: Talking Voice Reminder app (the "App") handles information. The App is published on Google Play by Sce Apps (developer: Sıtkı Can Erzurum, Türkiye), package name com.sceapps.voicereminder. Contact: cnerzurum@gmail.com

1. Summary

  • There is no account or sign-up. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
  • Your reminders, voice recordings and settings are stored only on your device. We do not run servers that store them.
  • The text of your reminders and your voice recordings are never sent to us or to any analytics or ad service.
  • The App is free and shows ads provided by Google AdMob. The optional one-time purchase Aloud Plus removes ads.
  • To improve the App we collect usage statistics with Google Analytics for Firebase.
  • The App is not directed to children under 13.

2. Data stored on your device

The App saves the following on your device so that it can work:

  • your reminders: the text, time, repeat settings, how many times to read it, and the "repeat until done" setting;
  • voice recordings you make in the App, and audio files the App prepares from your reminder text so it can read them reliably;
  • the history of reminders that went off and whether you marked them done (used for the Missed list and the History screen);
  • your settings: voice, speaking speed and pitch, theme, text size, language, vibration, daily spoken summary time;
  • whether you own Aloud Plus, and simple app counters (first opening date, days the App was used, number of saved reminders, review prompt counter).

You can delete any reminder (and its recording) in the App. All data is deleted when you uninstall the App or clear its data. If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include this data in your Google account backup; that backup is managed by Google.

3. Permissions and how they are used

  • Microphone: asked only when you tap Record to add your own voice to a reminder. Recordings stay in the App's private storage and are never uploaded.
  • Notifications: to show your reminders, with Done and Snooze buttons. Reminder notifications can be shown on the lock screen; you can change this in your phone's notification settings.
  • Alarms & reminders (exact alarms): so reminders go off at the exact minute you chose.
  • Foreground service and keep awake: so the phone can read the reminder aloud even when the App is closed. While it speaks, a small notification is shown.
  • Run at startup: to set your reminders again after the phone restarts.
  • Vibration: for button feedback (can be turned off in Settings) and a short alert when a reminder goes off.
  • Internet and network state: needed for ads, usage statistics and purchases. Reminders work without internet.
  • Advertising ID (AD_ID): used by Google's ad and analytics services described below. You can reset or delete it in your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads).

The App does not access your contacts, photos, camera or location.

4. Text-to-speech

To read your reminders aloud, the App passes the reminder text to the text-to-speech engine installed on your phone (for example Speech Services by Google or your phone maker's engine), which turns it into speech on your device. The voice list in the App only offers voices that work without internet. The text-to-speech engine is provided by a third party and is subject to its own privacy policy.

5. Home screen widgets and backups

  • Widgets (Aloud Plus) show your next reminder and today's reminders on your home screen. Anyone who can see your home screen can see this text.
  • Backup and restore (Aloud Plus): when you choose "Back up to a file", the App writes one file containing your reminders, history, settings and voice recordings to the location you pick (for example your phone storage or a cloud folder). The App does not send this file anywhere else. Keep it somewhere safe.

6. Advertising (Google AdMob)

If you do not own Aloud Plus, the App shows banner and full-screen (interstitial) ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect information from your device such as the advertising ID, IP address (which can be used to estimate your approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Ads may be personalized only where the law allows it and, where required, only with your consent. Ads are never shown on the reminder screen or while you are writing a reminder.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the App shows Google's consent form before requesting ads. You can change your choices at any time in Settings > Privacy choices.

More information: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

7. Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used and to make reminders more reliable. It records events such as: the App was opened, a reminder was created, edited, deleted, turned on or off, went off, was marked done or snoozed, a setting or theme was changed, a widget was used, the Aloud Plus screen was opened, and whether an ad was shown. Events contain only general details, for example the repeat type, how many times a reminder is read, whether it has a voice recording, the length of the text (number of characters) and whether the exact alarm and notification permissions are allowed. The text of your reminders and your recordings are never included.

Firebase also collects some information automatically, such as an app instance ID, device model, operating system and app version, country or region, and session information. This data is processed by Google and kept for a limited period according to Google Analytics retention settings. Where consent is required, analytics storage follows your choice in the consent form.

More information: Privacy and security in Firebase.

8. Purchases (Aloud Plus)

Aloud Plus is a one-time purchase (no subscription) made through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google; we never see your card or payment details. The App only receives a confirmation from Google Play that you own Aloud Plus, so it can unlock the Plus features and restore them on a new phone. Aloud Plus can also be unlocked with a code in Settings > Redeem a code. The code is checked on your device and is not sent anywhere.

9. Ratings

The App may show Google Play's own rating window. Your rating and review are sent to Google Play, not to us.

10. Sharing and selling of data

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with anyone except through the Google services described above (AdMob, Firebase, Google Play), which act under their own privacy policies.

11. Reliability

Reminders may be delayed or not read aloud if your phone restricts the App (for example battery saving, silent mode or missing permissions).

12. Security

Data on your device stays inside the App's private storage, which other apps cannot read. Data sent to Google services is sent over encrypted connections.

13. Your choices and rights

  • Change your ad consent in Settings > Privacy choices (where available).
  • Reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.
  • Turn permissions (microphone, notifications, alarms) on or off in your phone's settings at any time.
  • Delete reminders and recordings in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App to remove all data from your device.
  • Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Türkiye's KVKK), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to its processing. Because we do not keep your data on our own servers, most requests concern data held by Google; contact us and we will help.

14. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the App changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest version.
