# Privacy Policy

**Last Updated:** April 11, 2026

Crisnat Foundations ("we", "us", or "our") built the JotCast app as an Ad-Supported utility. This SERVICE is provided by Crisnat Foundations at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.

If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy.

## Information Collection and Use

For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to your Google Account email and profile information (via Firebase Authentication) and Voice data for transcription.

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Link to Privacy Policy of third-party service providers used by the app:

*   [Google Play Services](https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/)
*   [AdMob](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543?hl=en)
*   [Firebase Authentication](https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/)
*   [Google Drive API](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

## Data Storage and Cloud Sync

JotCast offers optional cloud synchronization using Google Drive. If you choose to sign in with your Google Account:
*   **Google Drive Access:** The app requests access to its own dedicated folder on your Google Drive. This folder is hidden from your main Drive view and is used strictly to store your encrypted note backups.
*   **Authentication:** We use Firebase Authentication to securely handle your login. We do not store your Google password.

## Voice Transcription

The app uses your device's built-in speech recognition capabilities to provide voice-to-text functionality. Audio data is typically processed locally on the device or by system-level Google services; JotCast does not transmit or store your raw audio files on its own servers.

## Advertising

JotCast displays advertisements provided by AdMob to support the service. These advertisers may use unique identifiers on your device to show you relevant ads. 

## Links to Other Sites

This Service may contain links to other sites (such as through advertisements). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites.

## Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
