  • *Territoriality

Regardless of where our servers are located, your personal data may be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may or may not be to the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. BY VISITING THE SITE AND USING THE SERVICE, YOU UNEQUIVOCALLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING IN THE UNITED STATES OF ANY INFORMATION COLLECTED OR OBTAINED BY US THROUGH VOLUNTARY SUBMISSIONS, AND, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, THAT U.S. LAW GOVERNS ANY SUCH COLLECTION AND PROCESSING.

This Privacy Policy may be subject to the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR"), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK-GDPR”, and together with the EU GDPR, the “GDPR”), and other applicable privacy laws. Under the GDPR, we are a data “Controller”. If you are an individual who resides in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland (collectively, and for the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the “EEA”), you are a “Data Subject” with certain protected privacy rights concerning your “Personal Data.” We will take commercially reasonable steps to maintain compliance with GDPR. Your Personal Data, combined with any other information that may identify you as a person, may be referred to in this Privacy Policy as Personally Identifiable Information (collectively, "PII")

Who Collects Your Information On Our Service?

We do. Under the GDPR, we are what is known as a “Controller” of the PII that you provide us with. We collect information from you on the Service, and we are responsible for protection of your information.

  1. What Information Do We Collect?

1.1. Personal Information. We collect certain PII from you when you sign-up for the Service, when you complete a survey, when you create or update an account, when you use the Service, when you request services, from third parties, or otherwise when you submit such information. The types of PII we collect and save include:

  • Name, email address, and username.
  • Recorded Audio Information. Though we do not require any additional PII to use the Service, if you use the Service to transcribe what you are saying, or an existing audio recording, and additional PII is mentioned, then we will technically collect and process such information (“Recorded PII”) and have no way of controlling, or limiting what PII may be mentioned or processed as Recorded PII.
  • Technical information collected in our logs. Such information may include standard web log entries that contain your device identifiers (including mobile devices, such as UUID, UDID, MEID, and IMEI); IP address; web beacons; page URL; and timestamp.

You may provide us with information when you interact with us through email, read an email from us, online chat, messaging functions within the Service, or otherwise. We may retain such information in order to provide you with services, and you agree that we may share this information as needed with other users in order to resolve any issues that may arise between you and another user of the Service.

The Service may send push notifications, access the internet, record images (for optional screen capture, in the user’s discretion), and audio/voice recordings, or use your mobile data plan in order to use certain features of the Service. The Service may also request permission and access to your device microphone and storage area holding your images, photos, and audio files and recordings in order for you to upload and transmit them through the Service.

1.1. Non-Personal Information. “Non-Personal Information” is information which doesn’t identify you and/or anonymous information about you, including but not limited to links and materials posted, purchase history, the type of device you used and its operating system, browser information, the pages accessed most frequently, how pages are used, when and how you use the Service, search terms entered, when and how you use the App, and similar Non-Personal Information.

Automatically tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of automatically collecting information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your device whenever you surf the internet. Further, the Service may utilize web beacons, pixel tags, embedded links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. Through collecting your IP address, we may be able to approximate your geographic location, however, unless and until this information is paired with your PII, it cannot be used to identify you. If Non-Personal Information is paired to any of your PII, we will treat the Non-Personal Information as if it was PII too.

1.1. Aggregate Information. We may also collect anonymous, non-identifying, and aggregate information, such as the date and time of any request, language preference, word count, duration of audio samples/recordings, duration of audio processing/transcription, referring website, the pages you visit within our Site, the website you go to after visiting our Site, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

1.1. Financial Information. Although it may appear that we collect financial information from you on the Service, it is actually collected and processed through a third-party service provider (“Payment Processor”) to process payments for the Service. The Payment Processor may collect financial information such as banking information or credit card number, name, CVV code or date of expiration, from you on the Service. We do not hold your financial information.

Why Is My Information Being Collected?

We accept and gather information in an effort to provide the Service to you. We need to collect your PII so that we can respond to your requests for information or to be added to our email lists, to verify your subscription to Every, to process your payment for the Service and, if applicable. We may also collect aggregate information, to help us better design the Service, and log information, for monitoring purposes to help us to diagnose problems with our servers, administer the Service, calculate usage levels, and otherwise provide services to you.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

We use the PII you provide for the purposes for which you have submitted it including:

  • Internal Uses. We may use your PII to respond to your inquiries, to fulfill your requests for information, track usage trends, conduct experiments, send you push notifications, develop and improve the Service and other offerings, and perform research and analytics.
  • Creating and Maintaining Your Account. We use your PII to create and maintain an account for you to allow you to purchase and use the Service, including those aspects that may be enabled or enhanced by artificial intelligence.

We will not share your PII except: (a) for the purposes for which you provided it; (b) with your consent, such as other users of the Service; (c) as may be required by law or as we think necessary to protect our organization or others from injury (e.g., in response to a court order or subpoena, in response to a law enforcement agency request, or when we believe that someone is causing, or is about to cause, injury to or interference with the rights or property of another); or (d) with persons or organizations with whom we contract to carry out internal operations or business activities.

To the extent necessary to provide the Services that you request, we may have to share your Content and/or PII with one or more companies that provide certain technology tools and services (“Third-Party AI Providers”). Our current Third-Party AI Providers are as follows: Groq (Groq Terms - https://groq.com/privacy-policy); Fireworks (https://fireworks.ai/terms-of-service - https://fireworks.ai/privacy-policy); and OpenRouter (https://openrouter.ai/terms - https://openrouter.ai/privacy).

Please review the terms of the Third-Party AI Providers before using our Service. You hereby consent to our sharing your Content and/or PII with the Third-Party AI Providers as necessary to provide the parts of our Service that you request.

We may also share aggregate information with others, including affiliated and non-affiliated organizations.

Finally, we may transfer your PII to a third party, or an actual or potential successor-in-interest, in relation to, or in the event of, an actual or potential merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other change of control. After such disclosure or transfer, the third party or successor in interest may use the information in accordance with applicable law.

  1. How Can You Access And Control Your Information?

After becoming a user of the Service, you may revise or edit your information by sending an email to hello@monologue.to. For instructions on how you can further access your PII that we have collected, or how to correct errors in such information, please send an e-mail to hello@monologue.to. Subject to any internal processes, we will also promptly (up to several days from the receipt of your request) stop using your information and remove it from our servers and database at any time upon your e-mail request to hello@monologue.to with “Delete Account” in the subject line. Furthermore, you may opt out of the use of information by the Service to send you newsletters and promotional emails by sending an email to hello@monologue.to with “Opt-Out” in the subject line.

  1. How Do We Store and Protect Your Information?
  2. After receiving your PII, we will store it on our servers for future use. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or data storage solution can ever be completely secure. As a result, although we take industry-standard steps to protect your information (e.g., secure transfers and strong encryption), we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, receive from us, or that we store on our, our service providers', or the Third-Party AI Providers’, systems.
  3. If you are visiting the Site from outside of the USA, you understand that your connection may be through, and to, servers located in the USA, and the information you provide will be securely stored in our servers and internal systems located within the USA.
  4. Retention. Local (on your device) audio files and transcripts that may exist in the App will be deleted after 14 days, along with supporting metadata. If you choose to log your audio or transcripts on our servers, you may do so by activating such storage functionality, and we will hold such files until you ask us to delete them, or elect to deactivate such service generally (though you may need to contact us with respect to deletion and it may take several days to fully process). We will otherwise store your PII until you request us to remove it from our servers, however, we may store our activity logs, anonymized and/or aggregated data, analytics, and other technical records indefinitely. We will employ the methods described above to minimize the risk of your information becoming the subject of unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For clarity, our Third-Party AI Providers employ a zero data retention approach to your data, and do not use or store the inputted data except to provide the requested service.

We may utilize Posthog, provided by Posthog Inc., 2261 Market Street #4008, San Francisco, CA 94114, for the collection and analysis of visitor statistics on our Site so that we can better understand user behavior.

This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data”, can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can reveal the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to our Site.
