Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in the case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using web, computer, or mobile apps.
Unless specified otherwise, all Data requested by the Servant Voice apps is mandatory and failure to provide this Data may make it impossible for Servant Voice to provide its services. Users who are uncertain about which Personal Data is mandatory are welcome to contact us at any time.
Depending on the User’s specific device, Servant Voice apps may request certain permissions that allow it to access the User’s device Data as described below.
Camera permission
Used for accessing the camera or capturing images and video from the device.
Contacts permission
Used for accessing contacts and profiles on the User’s device, including the changing of entries.
Microphone permission
Used for accessing and recording microphone audio from the User’s device.
Phone permission
Used for accessing a host of typical features associated with telephony. This enables, for instance, read-only access to the “phone state”, which means it enables access to the phone number of the device, current mobile network information, or the status of any ongoing calls.
Precise location permission (non-continuous)
Used for accessing the User’s precise device location to allow users to share their location with other users.
The geographic location of the User is determined in a manner that isn’t continuous. This means that it is impossible for Servant Voice to derive the exact position of the User on a continuous basis.
Storage permission
Used for accessing shared external storage, including the reading and adding of any items.
