M. Parropeato Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how M. Parropeato handles information when you use the M. Parropeato Android or Wear OS app. M. Parropeato is designed to run on your phone or watch and provide voice-driven interaction using Android speech recognition and text-to-speech features.

Information M. Parropeato Accesses

M. Parropeato requests microphone access through the Android RECORD_AUDIO permission. The app uses this access when you choose to speak to the app so Android speech recognition can convert your speech into text.

M. Parropeato also uses Android text-to-speech to speak responses aloud. Text-to-speech output may be processed by the text-to-speech engine installed on your device.

How Audio Is Used

Microphone audio is used for speech recognition. M. Parropeato does not record, store, sell, or share your microphone audio with the app developer. Speech recognition is handled by the Android speech recognition service available on your device. Depending on your device settings, installed speech service, language, network state, and Google or device-provider configuration, speech recognition may be processed on-device or by the user selected speech service provider.

Information M. Parropeato Collects

The app does not create user accounts and does not operate a developer-controlled server for storing microphone audio, speech transcripts, or text-to-speech content. If you choose to enable diagnostics, the app collects coarse, anonymous usage data and crash reports as described in the Diagnostics section below.

Diagnostics (Analytics and Crash Reporting)

On first launch, the app asks whether you want to enable diagnostics. You can change this choice at any time via Settings → Diagnostics. Diagnostics are off by default and are only active after you opt in.

When diagnostics are enabled, the app uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (both Google services) to collect coarse, anonymous data. Firebase Analytics logs usage events such as which settings were changed and whether a speech session succeeded or failed. Firebase Crashlytics captures crash reports including exception type, message, stack trace, app version, OS version, and device model class. The app never sends raw microphone audio, recognized speech text, text-to-speech content, custom user-entered content, stable device identifiers, exact locale or voice selections, or exact slider values to Firebase. Firebase's handling of this data is governed by the Firebase Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Services

M. Parropeato relies on Android and Wear OS system services, including speech recognition and text-to-speech. These services are provided by your device, Google, or another service provider configured on your device. If diagnostics are enabled, M. Parropeato also uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (Google). All third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies and your device settings.

Data Sharing

M. Parropeato does not collect, retain, or sell personal information. M. Parropeato does not share microphone audio, speech transcripts, or text-to-speech content with the app developer or advertisers. If diagnostics are enabled, coarse, anonymous usage events and crash reports are shared with Google via Firebase as described above. System speech and text-to-speech services may process data as described by their providers.

Data Retention and Deletion

Because M. Parropeato does not store microphone audio, speech transcripts, or user accounts for the app developer, there is no developer-hosted account data to delete. You can revoke microphone access at any time in Android or Wear OS app permission settings. You can also uninstall the app to remove its local app data from your device.

Security

M. Parropeato uses Android platform permission controls for microphone access. No method of electronic processing is perfectly secure, but the app is designed to avoid collecting or storing microphone audio for the app developer.

Children

M. Parropeato is not directed to children. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated as M. Parropeato changes. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised last updated date.
