Offbookly ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Offbookly mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App and related services (the "Services").
By using the Services, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
| Data Type | What We Collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | Name, email address, profile photo (if provided) | Account creation, authentication, communication |
| Authentication Data | Credentials from Apple, Google, or Facebook Sign-In (OAuth tokens, unique user ID) | Secure login without us storing your social media password |
| Your Content | Screenplays, scripts, and text you upload | Provide the core script-parsing and rehearsal services |
| Data Type | What We Collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Generated Audio | TTS audio files created from your scripts | Allow you to replay rehearsal audio across sessions |
| Parsed Script Data | Scenes, characters, and dialogue extracted by AI | Enable the rehearsal experience |
| Speech-to-Text Transcripts | During a rehearsal, the App captures audio from your device's microphone and submits it to your device's operating system speech-recognition service (Apple Speech on iOS, Google Speech Services on Android) to generate a real-time text transcript of what you said. Offbookly receives only the text transcript; the raw microphone audio is not stored by Offbookly or transmitted to Offbookly's servers. | Detect your spoken lines, measure rehearsal accuracy, and drive the rehearsal state machine |
| Usage Data | Features used, session duration, interactions | Improve the App and fix bugs |
| Device Information | Device type, OS version, app version | Ensure compatibility and troubleshoot issues |
We do NOT use your information for: selling your personal data to third parties; targeted advertising or advertising tracking; training, fine-tuning, or evaluating any artificial intelligence, machine learning, speech-synthesis, voice-cloning, or biometric-identification model.
| Provider | Data Shared | Purpose | Data Policy |

We may also share your information in the following circumstances:
We do NOT sell your personal data. We do not share your data with advertisers.
Your data is stored on Google Firebase servers located in the United States (nam5). By using the Services, you consent to the transfer and storage of your data in this location.
We implement commercially reasonable security measures, including:
Despite our efforts, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. You use the Services and upload content at your own risk.
We retain Your Content (scripts, TTS-generated audio, parsed data) and account information for as long as your account is active and the Services are being provided.
When you delete your account:
You may delete individual scripts or audio files at any time through the App. Deleted content will be removed from our active systems within a reasonable timeframe.
Raw microphone audio used for speech recognition is not retained by Offbookly. The resulting text transcripts are held in-memory during a rehearsal session to drive the rehearsal state machine and, where you choose to save session data, may be stored alongside your rehearsal history under your account. Transcripts are deleted along with the associated rehearsal session or upon account deletion, consistent with Section 6.2.
We may retain anonymized, aggregated data that cannot be used to identify you (e.g., total number of scripts processed, average session length) indefinitely for analytics purposes.
Regardless of your location, you have the right to:
If you are a California resident, you additionally have the right to:
We have not sold or shared the personal information of any California consumer in the preceding 12 months, nor have we disclosed it for a business purpose other than as described in Section 4.

The Services are not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete such information and terminate the associated account.

The App requests microphone access so that it can convert your spoken dialogue into text for rehearsal detection (see Sections 2.2 and 4.1). Microphone audio is used only during an active rehearsal session that you have initiated and is not retained by Offbookly. You may revoke microphone permission at any time via your device's system settings; if revoked, speech-recognition-based rehearsal features will be disabled.
On iOS, the App additionally requests speech-recognition permission so that microphone audio can be routed to Apple's Speech framework. This permission is separate from microphone permission and can also be revoked at any time in your device settings.
The Offbookly App does not use browser cookies (as it is a native mobile application). However, we use the following technologies:
| Technology | Purpose | Can Be Disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Analytics | Understand usage patterns and improve the App | Yes, via App settings |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Detect and fix crashes | Yes, via App settings |
We do NOT use advertising identifiers (IDFA, AAID) or any advertising tracking.
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, where our servers and third-party service providers are located.
Where required by law (e.g., transfers from the EEA or UK), we rely on: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or UK Addendum, as applicable; adequacy decisions, where applicable; the data processing terms of our service providers (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple).
