Privacy Policy
隐私政策 · Last updated 17 September 2026
BothWays Live turns spoken English and Mandarin Chinese into a live, two-way conversation. This page explains exactly what happens to your voice while you use it. The short version: your speech is used only to interpret the conversation you are having, at that moment. We do not build a profile, run ads, or sell anything.
What we process, and why
- Voice audio. While a conversation is running, short clips of what the microphone hears are sent to our AI provider so the words can be transcribed, interpreted, and spoken back aloud. Audio is not stored by BothWays Live and is not attached to a user identity.
- Transcripts and translations. These stay in the app's memory on your device for the length of the conversation. Closing the app or tapping Clear conversation removes them.
- Nothing else. No name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, photos, or account is required or collected. The app is free and takes no payment information.
Who handles the audio
Transcription, interpretation, and spoken output run through third-party AI services that process the audio and text you send them and return the result. They act as processors for that single request. We do not add our own permanent copy of your conversation to any database, and we do not combine it with data from other apps.
No ads, no trackers, no cookies
BothWays Live contains no advertising, no third-party analytics or tracking scripts, and no cookies used to identify you across websites. Your conversations are not sold, rented, or shared for marketing.
On your device
The microphone is only used while a conversation is running, and you can stop it at any time. If your device offers on-device speech recognition or text-to-speech, the offline fallback uses those local voices instead of sending audio anywhere.
Exports are yours
When you create a conversation PDF, it is generated on your device. It exists where you save it and is shared only if you choose to send it.
Reliability logging
When something breaks, the app may record a brief technical error message so the service can be fixed. These notes describe the failure, not you, and are not used for advertising.
Your choices
Because nothing about you is retained, the simplest control is in the app: tap Clear conversation and the transcript is gone. You can stop a conversation, revoke microphone access in your device settings, or uninstall the app at any time. For any privacy question or request, write to contact@bothwayslive.com.
Children
BothWays Live is a general communication tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the date above is updated and the new version appears at this address. Continued use of the app means you accept the current version.
