Privacy Policy

aiBuds, Inc. · Effective October 17, 2026

Who we are

aiBuds, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in California. We make aiBuds — AI translation earbuds and their companion mobile application and subscription service.

What we collect

The aiBuds app has no account or login. We collect: device information needed to pair, verify and support your earbuds (the earbuds’ serial number and Bluetooth address, and a random ID for your app installation); app and diagnostic information such as times, languages and whether a session worked; when you use translation or the AI assistant, the audio and text of what you ask to be translated or answered, as described below; and anything you choose to send us, such as a report about an answer.

How audio is handled

Speech is processed to provide the service you requested — transcription, translation, and synthesized speech — on servers operated in the United States. Audio is used to deliver the feature and, as described below, some of it is kept for a limited time to find and fix problems. aiBuds, Inc. does not sell it and does not use it for advertising.

Helping us improve aiBuds

aiBuds is a new product, and real sessions are how we find and fix problems. The app has a setting, “Help improve aiBuds”, that is on unless you turn it off. The first time you open the Call, Travel, Assistant or Share screen, the setting is shown on that screen before you start, and you can turn it off there. It is always available in the app under About, where you can turn it off at any time.

While it is on, aiBuds, Inc. keeps, together with related app and earbud logs:

We keep these only for a limited time, as long as we need them to find and fix problems, and then delete them. Only authorized aiBuds, Inc. staff can review them.

We never keep the content of Email Summary or Morning Brief, or anything from a connected email or calendar account.

When you turn the setting off, we stop keeping your sessions and delete what we have kept. You can also ask us to delete it at privacy@aibuds.ai.

Separately, if you tap “Send this session to support” or “Report this answer”, we receive and keep what you send, and your note, even if the setting is off, so we can look into the problem. For a call or a Travel session, only your side is sent.

aiBuds, Inc. collects this information to improve the quality of aiBuds. We do not sell it, do not use it for advertising or marketing, and do not share it with anyone else for their own use.

Third-party processing

We use service providers, such as cloud hosting and AI service providers, to run aiBuds. They act on our behalf, may use the information only to provide their service to us, and may not use it for their own purposes.

Connected accounts: calendar and email

If you choose to connect a Microsoft or Google account, the aiBuds app asks for read-only access to your email and calendar, for Email Summary and Morning Brief. If you allow it, Morning Brief can also read today’s events from the calendar on your phone. Today this works with Microsoft accounts (Outlook.com and Microsoft 365); Google accounts will follow. We use this access only to produce the spoken brief or summary you ask for.

Your messages and events are read on your phone, and the brief or summary is created on your phone, using your phone’s built-in AI where it has one. Their contents are not sent to aiBuds, Inc.’s servers and are not kept by aiBuds, Inc. Your account sign-in also stays on your phone. aiBuds, Inc. does not sell this information and does not use it for advertising or to train AI models. You can disconnect an account at any time in the app or in your Microsoft or Google account settings (personal Microsoft accounts: account.live.com/consent/Manage; work or school accounts: myapps.microsoft.com; Google: myaccount.google.com/permissions); the sign-in is then removed from your phone.

aiBuds’ use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How long we keep information

While “Help improve aiBuds” is on, the session content described above (all of Assistant and Share; your side of Call and Travel) is kept for a limited time and then deleted; what you send to support is kept while we look into it. With the setting off, audio and text are used only to deliver the result and are not kept after the session. The speech of the other person on a call or of other people in Travel, and the content of Email Summary and Morning Brief, are never kept. Connected-account sign-ins are kept only on your phone and are removed when you disconnect.

Your choices and rights

You can turn “Help improve aiBuds” off at any time in the app (under About), and disconnect a connected account at any time. You may contact us at privacy@aibuds.ai to ask what information we hold about you, or to ask us to correct or delete it. California residents have these rights under the CCPA. aiBuds, Inc. does not sell personal information and does not share it for advertising.

Children

Our products are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
