Privacy Policy for SAAR - Summarize, Translate & Create

Effective Date: July 14, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to SAAR - Summarize, Translate & Create ("SAAR", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our mobile application and web service. SAAR provides optical character recognition (OCR), translation, summarization, AI-assisted content transformation (custom prompts), text-to-speech (audio) generation, and text-to-video generation. We are committed to protecting your privacy while delivering these features.

Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

Lawful and Proper Use Only

SAAR is a productivity and creativity tool intended for personal, educational and other legitimate uses. You are solely responsible for the content you submit and for how you use any output generated by the app.

Prohibited Uses

You must NOT use SAAR (including its OCR, summarization, translation, custom-prompt, text-to-speech, image and video-generation features) to create, process, upload, or distribute content that:

• Violates any applicable local, national or international law or regulation
• Is fraudulent, deceptive, or intended to mislead, scam or defraud others
• Impersonates any person or entity, or creates deepfakes, forged documents, or synthetic audio/video/imagery intended to deceive
• Is hateful, harassing, defamatory, threatening, or promotes violence, discrimination or self-harm
• Is sexually explicit, obscene, or exploits or endangers minors in any way
• Infringes the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity or other rights of any third party
• Contains another person's private or personal data submitted without a lawful basis or their consent
• Spreads malware, spam, or attempts to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorized access to the service or its infrastructure
• Generates disinformation, or content designed to manipulate elections, markets, or public opinion through deception
• Facilitates any other unlawful, dangerous or clearly improper purpose

Enforcement and Content Safety

• SAAR applies automated content-safety screening to submitted text to help detect and block clearly prohibited material before processing
• Requests that are flagged as unsafe or prohibited may be refused and are not processed further
• Automated screening is not perfect; it does not relieve you of your responsibility to comply with this policy and the law
• We may block access or discontinue service for users who misuse the app

Fair Use and Copyright

User Responsibilities

• Users are responsible for ensuring they have the rights to scan, upload and process any materials
• The app does not encourage or support copyright infringement
• Users must obtain necessary permissions for copyrighted materials

Acceptable Use

Summarization, translation and content-transformation features are intended for legitimate uses such as:

• Personal research
• Educational purposes
• Private study
• Critical review
• Non-commercial use

Data Collection and Processing

Camera and Voice Input

• Camera access is used for document scanning and image capture
• Microphone access (RECORD_AUDIO) is used only for optional voice input (speech-to-text) when you choose to dictate
• Captured images and voice input are processed to fulfil your request and are not permanently stored on your device by our app

Text, Image, Audio and Video Processing (Cloud)

How your data is processed:

• Images are sent to a cloud-based OCR service for text extraction
• Extracted or entered text is processed by AI services for summarization and custom-prompt transformations
• Text is sent to a translation service for language conversion
• Text may be converted to synthesized speech (audio) for the video and read-aloud features
• For video generation, your text (and the resulting audio, subtitles and generated visuals) is assembled into a video file on our server
• All data transmission occurs over secure HTTPS connections
• Your source content is processed transiently and is not retained after your request is completed

Text-to-Speech (Audio) Generation

• When you generate a video or use read-aloud, your text is converted into synthesized speech
• Generated audio is created solely to fulfil your request and is not used to build a voice profile or to identify you
• Temporary audio files created during generation are deleted automatically after processing

Text-to-Video Generation

• The video feature turns your text into a narrated video with optional subtitles, a visual template and optional background music
• The finished video is stored temporarily on our server only so that you can preview and download it
• Generated videos are deleted automatically from our servers a short time after creation (typically within about one hour)
• We do not use your generated videos for any purpose other than delivering them to you

AI-Generated Scene Imagery

• Some video styles may include AI-generated background visuals created from your text
• These images are generated transiently to build your video and are removed together with the video's temporary files

Document and Media Export (DOCX / PDF / Video)

• Document generation (DOCX/PDF) occurs locally on your device
• Videos are downloaded from our service to your device at your request
• Exported files are saved to your device storage under your control
• We do not access exported documents stored on your device

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

To provide the app's functionality we rely on a number of specialised third-party cloud processors. For security and commercial-confidentiality reasons, we identify these processors by CATEGORY rather than by name. Each processor only receives the data needed to perform its specific function, acts on our instructions, and is bound by its own security and data-protection obligations. The categories of recipients are:

1. OCR (Text-Extraction) Provider

• Data shared: Images you scan or upload
• Purpose: Extracting text from images
• Data location: Cloud servers (may include international transfers)

All processors are engaged under agreements that require appropriate security measures and compliance with applicable data-protection laws. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for third-party marketing.

Data Transmission and Security

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, wherever our processors operate. These transfers are necessary for the app's functionality and are protected by:

• HTTPS encryption during transmission

By using this app, you consent to these international data transfers.

Permissions Used

• Camera: Required for capturing documents and images for text extraction

This grants temporary access to only the file you pick and requires NO photo or video permission. SAAR does not request READ_MEDIA_IMAGES or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO and cannot browse your photo library.
• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Requested only on Android 9 (API 28) and below, solely to save exported DOCX/PDF/video files to the Downloads folder. On Android 10+ exports use scoped storage and need no permission.
