Rapture Privacy Policy

At Bensolutions LLC, doing business as Noise Meld, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how Rapture collects, uses, and protects your personal information.

Data Collection

Rapture collects audio recordings via device microphone only when you explicitly initiate recording. All recordings are stored in your personal Google Drive and are never sent to our servers.

Google Drive Access

We request Google Drive access to save your recordings and transcriptions to your personal Drive storage. You control this data and can delete it at any time from your Google Drive.

Microphone Access

We request microphone permission to record your voice notes. Recording only occurs when you explicitly activate the app via voice command ("Hey Google, Rapture this") or manual recording button.

AI Transcription Processing

Premium features use Deepgram Nova-3 API to transcribe your recordings. Audio is sent through our secure API Gateway (hosted on Render.com) to Deepgram's servers for transcription processing, then the transcription text is returned to your device and saved to your Google Drive. Deepgram's privacy policy applies to transcription processing: https://deepgram.com/privacy

We also use Google Gemini API to format and clean transcription text. This processing happens through our API Gateway and follows Google's AI/ML privacy policies.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transmit your data to any third parties beyond the services you authorize:

• Google Drive: Your recordings and transcriptions (your personal cloud storage)
• Deepgram: Audio for transcription processing (not stored by Deepgram)
• Google Gemini: Transcription text for formatting (not stored by Google)
• Render.com API Gateway: Trial/subscription tracking data only

Your audio recordings and transcriptions remain in your personal Google Drive under your control.

Trial and Subscription Data

When you sign in with Google to activate your 30-day free trial, we collect:

• Google account ID (to track trial eligibility)
• Email address (to prevent trial abuse)
• Android device ID (to enforce one trial per device)

This data is stored securely on our backend server (Render.com) and is used solely to manage trial access and prevent abuse. We do not use this data for marketing or share it with third parties.

Data Retention

• Local recordings: Stored on your device until you delete them
• Google Drive recordings: Stored in your personal Drive until you delete them
