Privacy Policy

1. Who operates the app

The Vlogger Buddy app and this website are operated by BR-Tech s.r.o., Považská Bystrica, Slovakia. Privacy contact: roman.bednar@brtech.sk.

2. What data the app processes

The app works with what you enter or record:

• Texts (scripts) that you write or paste into the app.
• Video and audio recordings that you create.
• Captions and app settings (for example reading tempo or font size).

Everything is stored only on your device, in the app’s folder that you can see in the Files app. BR-Tech has no access to this data, does not transfer it to its own servers or to third parties, and operates no server account or user database for the app.

3. Permissions the app asks for

• Camera: for the preview and for recording video.
• Microphone: for recording audio and your voice while you read.
• Photos: the app only adds the finished video when you tap “Save to Photos”. It does not read your library.
• Local network: only to connect to your second device that acts as a remote control. The connection is encrypted and you must approve each connection on the device you are reading from.

The app uses the camera and microphone only so that you can record. You can change or withdraw a permission at any time in Settings → Vlogger Buddy. Without the camera, audio-only recording still works; without the microphone you cannot record audio or video with sound.

4. Apple Watch

The watch app acts as a remote control for the reader. It sends the iPhone only control commands (for example “record”, “back”), and the iPhone sends the watch only the reader status (script title, recording time). Communication runs directly between your devices through Apple’s system, not through our servers.

5. Subscription and payments

You buy and manage the subscription through the App Store, and Apple processes the payment under its own policies. The app receives from Apple only the information whether your subscription is active. It does not see your name, email or payment details, and neither does BR-Tech. You cancel the subscription in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

6. What the app does not do

• It does not require registration or sign-in.
• It uses no analytics or advertising libraries and does not track what you do in the app.
• It shows no ads.
• It does not sell or hand your data to anyone.
• It does not use your texts or recordings to train artificial intelligence models.

7. Sharing and export

Video, audio and captions leave the app only when you export or share them yourself through the iOS share sheet (for example to Photos, Files, Messages or a social network). From then on, the rules of the app or service you chose apply.

8. Backups and Apple

Your device may back up the app’s data to iCloud or to a computer according to your iOS settings. That backup belongs to you and is managed by Apple, not BR-Tech.

Apple may collect its own data about downloads and use within the App Store and offers developers aggregated, anonymised statistics (for example the number of downloads). We cannot link such statistics to a specific person. Apple’s Privacy Policy applies to that.

9. How long data is kept and how to delete it

Texts and recordings stay on your device until you delete them in the app or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes the app’s data from your device. Nothing is kept on our side, so there is nothing for us to delete.

10. Children

The app does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.

11. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and the right to object. Because BR-Tech does not obtain personal data from the app, we have nothing to provide or delete. If you still have a question, write to roman.bednar@brtech.sk.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic, Hraničná 12, 820 07 Bratislava 27.

12. This website

The app’s pages (brtech.sk/vlogger-buddy) use no cookies or analytics and load nothing from third parties (fonts, scripts or images). The hosting provider may write technical access logs as part of normal operation (IP address, time and page address) for the security and operation of the server. If you email us, we use your address only to reply.

13. Changes to this policy

If the app later gets a feature that sends data off your device (for example text editing through artificial intelligence), we will update this policy before it is released and notify you in the app on first use. The date of the latest changes is shown at the top.
