Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2026-02-23

Introduction

BiBi Keyboard is designed with privacy in mind. This page explains what data is processed under different features.

Core Principles

• We do not upload or store your voice recordings or recognized text on our own servers.
• The app mainly acts as a client. If you configure third-party ASR/LLM providers, data is sent directly to those providers.

Anonymous Data Collection (Optional, Off by Default)

The app includes an "Anonymous Data Collection" switch (Settings -> Other Settings). Data is uploaded only after you enable it.

1. Daily anonymous report (when enabled)

Uploaded fields include:

• Anonymous user ID (random UUID)
• App version
• App language
• Report timestamp
• Random minute of day for report scheduling
• Daily aggregates: ASR event count, total audio duration, app start count
• ASR event metadata list (no text content):
  • Event timestamp
  • ASR vendor ID (vendorId)
  • Audio duration (audioMs)
  • Processing duration (procMs)
  • Source (ime / floating / external)
  • Whether AI post-processing was used (aiProcessed)
  • Character count (charCount)

2. Consent status record (when you agree/disagree or toggle)

The app updates an anonymous consent record with:

• Anonymous user ID (random UUID)
• Whether anonymous collection is enabled (enabled)
• Install channel (installer package name)
• First seen timestamp (firstSeen)
• Android SDK version
• Device model (manufacturer + model)
• App version
• App language
• Record timestamp

Data We Do Not Collect

• Raw voice recordings
• Full recognition text content
• Regular typed content
• Personal identity data such as phone number/email/account ID

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

• App settings (including API keys)
• Recognition history (optional)
• Usage statistics (optional)
• Speech presets
• Pending analytics cache (only if anonymous collection is enabled)

Third-Party Services

When cloud features are used, data is sent directly to providers you configure, such as:

• ASR providers (e.g., Volcengine, OpenAI, Gemini, Soniox, DashScope)
• LLM post-processing providers (OpenAI-compatible APIs you configure)

Each provider has its own privacy policy and data handling terms.

Other Optional Cloud Features

• Clipboard sync: only when enabled and configured by you
• WebDAV backup: only when enabled and configured by you

Your Controls

You can always:

• Disable anonymous data collection
• Disable recognition history
• Disable usage statistics
• Uninstall the app to remove local data
