Mewvii Privacy Policy

1. Scope and contact

This policy explains how data is processed in the Mewvii Android app.
Publisher: Mewvii
Privacy and support contact: info@mewvii.app
Policy address used by the app: https://mewvii.app/tr/gizlilik

2. Microphone and audio processing

The microphone is used when you start the relevant feature and grant Android microphone permission. Cat sounds are processed by the audio model on your device. Live listening operates while the app is in the foreground; the microphone is stopped when you stop listening, leave the relevant screen or move the app to the background.

Raw audio captured for analysis is not sent to Mewvii servers or stored as a permanent audio recording. It is held temporarily in memory during processing and released afterwards. Mewvii does not collect audio for model training.

Human speech started with the talk button is processed by Android’s on-device speech recognition service in your chosen language on supported devices. If support is unavailable, the app does not automatically switch to cloud recognition; you can use text input. Speech playback uses installed offline voices. Installing or downloading language packs may be subject to the terms of your chosen system service.

3. Optional personal call recording

If you choose to record your own call sound, an approximately five-second recording is saved only in the app’s private storage on your device. You can play, replace or delete it in the app. Mewvii does not upload or share audio saved using this feature.

4. Information stored on your device

Names, breed/appearance selections, sex and ages of cats you add, your active cat selection, language, theme, speech playback preference and daily usage counter are stored on your device.

The Premium analysis journal may store up to 100 entries containing the analysis date and time, the selected cat’s information at the time, sound category, interpretation and acoustic/model measurements. The journal does not contain raw audio files. The oldest entries are removed when the limit is exceeded. Deleting a cat profile does not automatically delete previous journal entries.

Chat messages and text obtained from speech are held in memory for the current session, not in a separate permanent chat archive. You can clear the chat. This temporary content is not retained after the Android app process ends.

5. Purchases

Premium purchases and purchase restoration are handled through Google Play. You do not enter payment card details into Mewvii; Mewvii does not receive or store them. Google Play Billing provides purchase information to the app to verify purchase status. Verified Premium access status is stored on your device for offline use.

Purchases and restoration require an internet connection. Basic on-device audio analysis does not require a Mewvii account or server connection. Google’s Privacy Policy applies to Google Play’s own data processing: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Advertising, analytics and sharing

The Mewvii app has no integrated advertising or usage analytics feature. Mewvii does not sell cat profiles, analysis journals, chat content or audio recordings stored on your device or share them for advertising targeting. The app does not request access to contacts, location, photos or camera.

Android, Google Play and your chosen device services may process information under their own policies. This policy does not replace their independent practices.

7. Retention, deletion and your choices

You can delete cat profiles from My Cats, your personal call recording from its recording screen and the analysis journal from Settings or Journal. You can revoke microphone permission in Android app permissions; microphone features will then be unavailable.

You can delete local app data by clearing app data in Android settings or uninstalling the app. Android app backup is disabled. Deleting local data does not delete your Google Play purchase history, which is subject to Google’s retention rules. Eligible purchases can be restored using the same Google Play account.

8. Security

Persistent local records are kept in Android’s app-private storage. Your device’s screen lock, updates and security settings help protect this data. No storage or communication method guarantees absolute security.

9. External links and contact requests

Opening this privacy page or another web link connects your browser to the relevant website. That website must separately explain its cookies, access logs or contact forms; the app’s offline operation description does not cover them.

If you contact us for support, your email address and message are processed to answer your request. Please avoid sending unnecessary audio recordings or personal information. Send privacy questions and requests to the contact address above.

10. Policy changes

This policy will be updated if the app’s data processing changes. The current text and its last-updated date are published on this page. When a new permission or different data use is needed, the app will also provide the relevant explanation and obtain necessary permission.
