This Privacy Policy explains how Efficient Compute Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the mobile application Talk: AI Video Editor & Maker (the "App").
We built the App to be privacy-respecting: it has no account sign-up and shows no third-party ads inside the App. Much of the editing and AI processing happens on your device. To understand which marketing campaigns bring people to the App, we use limited advertising and attribution identifiers — but only if you allow it through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, which you can decline or change at any time in your device Settings.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or phone number to use the App (except if you contact us for support).
a. Anonymous identifier. On first launch the App creates an anonymous identifier (an anonymous Firebase user ID and an app-install identifier). This lets us deliver in-app features, attribute licensed music usage, and prevent abuse, without identifying you personally.
b. Subscription and purchase information. When you buy a subscription or AI Video credits, the purchase is processed by Apple. We and our subscription provider (RevenueCat) receive your subscription status, transaction identifiers, and purchase history so we can unlock paid features, add the credits you bought, and restore purchases. We keep your AI Video credit balance — the credits that come with your plan, the ones you buy, and the ones you use — on our servers, linked to your anonymous identifier. We never receive or store your payment card details — those are handled by Apple.
c. Your content. Videos, photos, audio, text, and projects you import into or create with the App ("Your Content"). Most processing is performed on your device. For certain features, limited content is sent to third-party processors as described in Section 4 and Section 5. The editing instructions you enter in the App's AI prompt bar, and the words used to make AI videos, are also retained by us, as described in Section 4.
d. Device and diagnostic information. Device model, operating system version, app version, language/region, general performance data, and crash reports (via Firebase Crashlytics, in production builds). This helps us fix bugs and keep the App stable.
e. Usage and analytics information. Aggregated, non-identifying information about how features are used (for example, music browser interactions and feature usage counts) via Firebase Analytics. We use this to improve the App.
f. Music licensing usage data. When you add a licensed track to a project or export a project containing licensed tracks, we record the anonymous user identifier, your subscription tier, the track identifiers, a project identifier, timestamps, and — where available — the channel or video URL where the production is published. We are contractually required to provide this to our music licensor (Epidemic Sound) for licensing and reporting.
g. Push notification token. If you enable notifications, we receive a push token (via Apple Push Notification service and Firebase Cloud Messaging) to deliver notifications.
h. Network information. Like any internet service, our servers and our third-party processors receive your IP address and standard request metadata when the App makes network requests.
i. Advertising and attribution identifiers. To measure which marketing campaigns lead people to install or subscribe, we and our advertising partners process attribution identifiers. These include a Meta (Facebook) SDK anonymous identifier and your device's vendor identifier (IDFV), and — only if you grant permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt — the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA). We also use Apple's AdServices attribution token to measure Apple Search Ads. If you do not grant tracking permission, attribution relies on Apple's privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork instead and the IDFA is not used.
The App requests the following permissions only when needed for a feature, and you can change them at any time in your device Settings:
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we show no third-party ads inside the App. To measure advertising performance, we share limited identifiers with Meta (directly and through RevenueCat) for ad attribution. Some privacy laws treat this kind of "sharing" for cross-context advertising as subject to opt-out, which you can exercise by declining the App Tracking Transparency prompt or turning off tracking in your device Settings.
Some features use AI. When you use them, the relevant input — such as a text prompt you type, or a transcript or limited media derived from Your Content — is sent to an AI provider (OpenAI, or for AI Video, Qwen Cloud, as described below) to generate the requested result. This data is processed to provide the feature and is not used by us to identify you. On-device speech-to-text and text-to-speech are processed locally where supported.
We also retain the editing instructions you type or dictate into the App's AI prompt bar — for example "make this a 30 second montage" — so that we can understand what people ask the editor to do and improve how well it responds. Only the instruction text is retained: your videos, photos, and audio are not. Because an instruction can itself contain personal details — for instance when you ask the App to place a name or a message on screen as text — please avoid including information you would not want us to keep. We retain these instructions for no longer than 12 months, and you can ask us to delete them (see Section 10).
AI Video makes short videos from your words, photos, and clips. It is a paid feature, and the App asks for your agreement before your first video. When you make one, the App sends our servers what you chose for that video: the words you typed or dictated, and the photos, clips, or video frames you picked. When you ask for a video in the AI prompt bar, the words sent are the description the AI wrote from your request. Nothing else from your photo library is sent. Our servers pass these to Qwen Cloud, the AI service of Alibaba Cloud, which makes the video. Qwen Cloud processes and stores this data in Alibaba Cloud's Singapore region.
Before a video is made, the words you give it are checked by OpenAI's moderation service, and a request that breaks our content rules is refused before any credits are used. OpenAI receives only the words, not your photos or clips. Qwen Cloud also checks requests against its own rules and may decline them.
Qwen Cloud keeps the photos and clips you send for up to 2 days. Finished videos are kept for up to 30 days so the App can download them, including a video that finishes while the App is closed, and are then deleted from our servers. On your device, the videos you make stay in the App until you delete them (in AI Video, or in Settings → AI Videos), and they are not included in your device backups. We also keep a record of each video request — its kind, length, credits used, and outcome, but not its words, photos, or clips — to count credits and prevent abuse. A request also carries your device's push token so the App can be told when the video is ready; the token is removed from the request once it has been used.
As with the prompt bar, we retain the words used to make each AI video, including requests our moderation check refuses, so that we can understand what people ask AI Video to make and keep its content rules accurate. Your photos, clips, and videos are not part of this. We keep these words for no longer than 12 months, and you can ask us to delete them (see Section 10). We do not use your words, photos, clips, or videos to train AI models.
Use photos and clips of other people only with their permission. Some templates ask you to confirm that the person shown is 18 or older and has agreed, or that you own the photo or have permission to use it.
We share information only with service providers that help us operate the App, and only as needed:
We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or us.
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the App and for the purposes described in this Policy, including meeting our licensing, legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. Music licensing usage data is retained as required to fulfil our reporting obligations to our licensor. Crash and analytics data are retained according to our providers' standard retention periods. Your videos, photos, and audio stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them, or a feature you use sends limited content to a processor as described in Section 4. Editing instructions entered in the AI prompt bar are retained for no longer than 12 months, as described in Section 4. For AI Video, Qwen Cloud keeps the photos and clips you send for up to 2 days, finished videos are kept for up to 30 days, and the words used to make them for no longer than 12 months, as described in Section 4.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including app attestation, authenticated and rate-limited backend access, and encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We and our service providers may process information in countries other than where you live, including the United States and, for AI Video, Singapore (see Section 4). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
The App is intended for users aged 13 and older (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. You can:
Because the App uses an anonymous identifier and does not require an account, we may need additional information to locate data associated with you, and in some cases we may be unable to do so.
The App relies on third-party services that have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them, including Apple, Google (Firebase), RevenueCat, Meta (Facebook), OpenAI, Alibaba Cloud (Qwen Cloud), Epidemic Sound, and GIPHY. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
