Privacy Policy

Iris is a privacy-first application. Your conversations and data stay on your device by default. This policy explains what data Iris handles and how.

Last updated: March 2026

On-device processing

Iris performs speech-to-text conversion, ASL avatar rendering, and conversation storage entirely on your device. No audio, text, or conversation data is sent to external servers during normal use.

What stays on your device

  • All conversation audio and transcriptions
  • Your conversation history, bookmarks, and exports
  • ASL dictionary data and learning progress
  • Application settings and preferences

What may be sent to the cloud

The following data is only transmitted if you explicitly opt in:

  • Account sync — If you choose to sync across devices, encrypted conversation data may be stored in the cloud.
  • Crash reports — Anonymous, non-identifiable error reports to help us improve Iris. No conversation content is included.

No advertising. No data selling.

Iris does not display advertisements. We do not sell, share, or monetize your data in any way. Our revenue comes from subscription plans, not from your personal information.

Authentication

Iris uses OAuth-only authentication. We never store passwords. Your identity is verified through industry-standard providers (Google, Apple) without Iris ever seeing your credentials.

GDPR compliance

Iris complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a user, you have the right to:

  • Access all data associated with your account
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent for optional data processing

Data deletion

Since your data is stored on your device, you can delete it at any time by clearing the app data or uninstalling Iris. If you have opted in to cloud sync, you can request full deletion of cloud-stored data by emailing support@lonia.ai.
