Kolibri — Privacy Policy

Revision of September 26, 2026

The Kolibri application converts spoken words into ready text and inserts it into the input field where the cursor is placed. Below is everything the application and our server do with the data.

Main points

The server stores neither voice recordings nor texts. The text exists on the server only during the processing of a single dictation. Dictation history is stored only on your phone and only if you have enabled it — by default, it is turned off.

What data and why

DataWhere it is transmittedStorage
Voice recording — only while the dictation button is enabledour server dictation.trust.moscow; for recognition — Yandex SpeechKit (Russia); for languages SpeechKit does not support (Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, etc.) and if streaming fails — OpenRouter → OpenAI (fallbacks — Google, Mistral AI)not stored
Recognized and ready textfor punctuation formatting and cleanup — OpenRouter → Google (Gemini)not stored on the server; on the phone — only if history is enabled (up to 50 records, can be cleared)
Text before the cursor (up to 300 characters) and selected text — at the moment the button is pressedserver → Google (to continue the thought with the correct letter case and rewrite the selected text at your request)not stored
Name of the application in which you are dictatingserver → Google (text style)not stored
Device identifier (ANDROID_ID), model, application version, IP address of the first connectionour serverdevice profile — for operation without registration, limits, update requirements, and protection against abuse
Usage counters by day: number of dictations, seconds of recording, processing cost — without contentour serverstored — for the daily limit and potential payment (see terms)

Accessibility service

The application uses the Android Accessibility API (AccessibilityService) for only one purpose: to detect that you have placed the cursor in a text field, show a microphone button near the keyboard, and, upon your tap, insert the dictated text into this field. The service does not read the screen or other fields, does not work in password fields, does not click anything, and does not perform actions on its own. It is enabled only by you in the Android settings after a separate warning in the application.

What we do not do

We do not collect contacts, location, files, or advertising identifiers. There is no advertising or third-party analytics. Data is not sold or transferred for advertising purposes. Transmission is strictly via secure HTTPS connection.

Data deletion

History on the phone is cleared by the “Clear history” button in the application; disabling history also deletes it. We will delete the device profile and counters upon receiving an email at e.pustoshilov@trust.moscow within 3 business days.
