Privacy Policy
OurVoice is made by Annova Technologies LLC (ourvoice.kids). This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes. The short version: it stays on your device.
1. Who this policy covers
OurVoice is purchased and set up by a parent, guardian or caregiver and used by the family member it is set up for. This policy covers both, and it also covers our website, ourvoice.kids, which is an informational site with no accounts or sign-in.
2. What we collect
Nothing. OurVoice has no accounts, no sign-in, no servers, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party software that collects data. We never see the names, photos, recordings, or words you add, or how the app is used.
3. The one connection the app makes
The only network activity in the app is your purchase, which goes through Apple's App Store. Apple handles payment, receipts, refunds, and Family Sharing under Apple's own privacy policy. We receive no personal information from that process — not your name, your email, or your payment details. Nothing else in the app connects to the internet.
4. Where your data lives
Everything you create in the app — photos, voice recordings, your child's name, age, and profile photo, categories, routines, favorites, settings, and the usage statistics shown in the Parent Dashboard — is stored only on this device, in the app's private, sandboxed storage. The favorites you choose for the Home Screen widget are shared with that widget on the same device only.
5. How long it stays, and how to delete it
Your data stays on the device until you delete it. Deleting a button removes its photo and recording. Settings → Data → "Reset all app data" removes everything. Deleting the app removes everything too. Because we hold nothing, there is nothing for us to delete on your behalf — and nothing anyone could ask us for.
6. Camera, microphone, photos, and Face ID
The app asks for camera, microphone, and photo-library access only so you can create communication buttons — taking or choosing item photos and recording your voice. Those photos and recordings stay on the device and are never uploaded by the app. If you use "Forgot PIN?", the app asks iOS to confirm the device owner with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. That check is performed entirely by iOS; the app only learns whether it succeeded. We do not collect, capture, store, or share biometric identifiers or biometric information of any kind, and the app never has access to them.
7. On-device processing
Some features use intelligence built into iOS — for example suggesting a category for an imported photo, removing a photo background, or speaking words aloud. All of this runs entirely on your device using Apple's own frameworks. No image, audio, or text is ever sent to us or to any third party.
8. Backups
You can export your board as a single backup file. That file contains your photos, recordings, and names, so keep it somewhere private. It is created locally and only goes where you send it (for example AirDrop or your own Files app). Your device's own backup (such as iCloud device backup) may include the app's data; that is controlled by your device settings and Apple's privacy policy, not by this app.
9. Security
Your data is protected by your device's built-in encryption and by the app's private storage. We recommend using a device passcode. The Parent PIN keeps settings away from a child's taps; it is not a substitute for a device passcode. Because we hold no copy of your data, we cannot restore it if a device is lost, damaged, or reset — please keep a backup.
10. Children's privacy
Many of the people who use OurVoice are children, so this matters most: we do not collect, store, or share personal information from anyone — children or adults. The app is intended to be purchased and set up by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the higher age your local law sets), and because nothing is collected, no parental consent for data collection is needed. There are no third-party ads, no third-party analytics, no links to outside websites on the child-facing screens, and no way for a child to contact anyone or share anything from those screens.
11. Your rights
Wherever you live — including the European Union, the United Kingdom, California, and other places with privacy laws — you have rights over personal data that a company holds about you. We hold none. There is nothing to access, correct, export, or delete on our side; you control everything on your device directly. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling. If you have a question or concern, contact us at the address below. You may also contact your local data protection authority.
12. Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will appear here and on our website with a new date. Because the app collects nothing, we expect it to stay short.
