Privacy Policy

Introduction

At TypeGenius (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes our collection, use, disclosure, and safeguarding practices for the TypeGenius AI Keyboard mobile application.

1. How TypeGenius Works

The application functions as an Input Method Editor with three operational aspects:

Local Processing: Standard typing occurs entirely on-device with no server transmission of keystrokes.

AI Feature Processing: Users who explicitly activate AI capabilities (voice transcription, grammar correction, text enhancement, Genius) send specific text to secure servers for processing.

No Keystroke Logging: We do NOT log, store, or analyse your typing patterns, passwords, or any text unless you activate AI features.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Feedback Submissions: In-app “Help Us Improve” feedback responses stored in database
• Email Address (Optional): Provided voluntarily when submitting feedback for follow-up purposes only
• Support Communications: Email address and communication content collected during support interactions

2.2 Automatically Collected Information
