Information We Collect
Voice Recordings
When you use the voice logging feature, we temporarily collect audio recordings of your spoken entries (e.g., "Fed Emma at 2am, bottle, 4 ounces"). These recordings are:
- Sent securely to OpenAI's Whisper service for speech-to-text transcription
- Processed to extract feeding, sleep, and care information
- Deleted immediately after transcription is complete
- Never stored on our servers
- Only used for the specific purpose of creating your baby log entries
Transcribed Text
The text version of your voice recordings is sent to OpenAI's GPT-4o to structure the information into organized log entries. This text may include:
- Times and descriptions of feedings, sleep, diaper changes
- Amounts (ounces, duration)
- Notes and observations about your baby
- Names or identifiers you mention
This text is processed solely to create structured log entries and is not stored by us or used for any other purpose.
