Nothing. Unc Aura has no servers, no account system, and no analytics or advertising software. Hawser Studio never receives the words you decode, your voice, or anything about you.
If you tap Say it, the app asks for permission to use your microphone and Apple's speech recognition. Unc Aura only uses Apple's on-device speech recognition: your voice is turned into text on your iPhone and is not sent to Apple or to us. If your iPhone can't do on-device recognition, voice input stays off and you can type instead. Recording stops as soon as you tap stop or leave the app. Audio is never saved.
Translations are read aloud using voices built into iOS, generated on your iPhone. No text is sent anywhere to create the audio.
The app saves a few small settings on your device so it remembers them: your chosen "save file" era, your score and cringe meter, achievements, and whether sound is on. This never leaves your phone. Deleting the app deletes it.
If you've chosen in your iPhone's settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports. These don't identify you, and we use them only to fix bugs. You can turn this off in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.
Unc Aura is made for families to use together. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.
The app links to this page and our support page on hawserstudio.com, which open in Safari. These pages don't use cookies or trackers.
If this policy ever changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If the app ever started collecting data, we'd tell you in the app first.
