Effective November 1, 2026
Privacy Policy
This policy covers the SmartLedger AI iOS app and voiceaccount.top. It explains what we process, who helps us process it, and how you stay in control.
In short: your ledger is stored on your iPhone. Only when you use voice parsing does a recording leave your device. It is processed in memory on our server, sent to the speech-to-text and AI services named below, and is not saved to disk or to any cloud storage.
1. What we process
- Voice recordings: when you tap the microphone and use voice parsing, the app uploads that recording (.m4a) to our server.
- Transcripts: the text produced from your recording, used to create entries.
- Your category names: sent with the request so the AI can file entries under your own categories.
- Ledger entries: amounts, titles and categories you confirm are stored on your device with Apple's SwiftData. We don't receive your ledger.
- Technical data: our web server records standard access information such as IP address and request time to keep the service secure and working.
We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't collect your name, email, phone number, contacts or location.
2. How we use it
Only to turn what you said into expense entries (amount, title, category) and to keep the service reliable. We don't sell your data, use it for advertising, or build profiles about you.
3. Service providers
- Speech to text: your recording is transcribed by OpenAI's Whisper model (whisper-1), accessed through ChatAnywhere (api.chatanywhere.tech), a third-party API service.
- Turning text into entries: the transcript and your category names are sent to Alibaba Cloud Model Studio (DashScope), using the Qwen model.
- Hosting: our server runs on Tencent Cloud.
These providers process the data to deliver the result you requested, under their own terms and privacy policies.
4. Retention and deletion
- Recordings: handled in memory and passed to the speech-to-text service. We don't write them to disk or store them in any cloud storage, and they are discarded when the request finishes.
- Transcripts and results: returned to the app and not stored on our server.
- Your ledger: stays on your device until you delete it. Go to Settings → Data Management → Clear All Data in the app.
- Access logs: kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.
5. Your choices
- Use manual entry only — nothing is uploaded.
- Turn off microphone access in iOS Settings at any time.
- Clear all data in the app at any time.
6. Children
SmartLedger AI isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect children's personal information.
7. Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
