Privacy Policy

What She Said (Woman Translator) · Last updated September 1, 2026

The short version

This app has no accounts and no logins, and it does not collect personal information. Nothing you type is stored against you. There are two narrow exceptions: a result you choose to report, and a phrase that enough different people have asked to make it worth counting — described under What we count. To keep the free daily allowance honest, the app does identify your installation — not you — which is described under Your daily allowance below. If you buy credits, we keep a record of that purchase against your installation, described under Buying credits; we never see or store your payment details.

What you type

When you enter a phrase, the app first tries to answer it from a hand-written dictionary bundled inside the app — that never leaves your device. If the phrase is not in the dictionary, the text is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to our server, which forwards it to Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to generate a reply.

That text is used to produce the reply you see, and — separately from your installation — to count how often a phrase is asked. It is not stored against your installation and not used to train any model. Azure OpenAI processes the request as our data processor under Microsoft's terms; see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Because the text is sent to a service we do not control end to end, please do not type anything you would not want to share — real names, addresses, passwords, or other sensitive details.

Your daily allowance

Generated replies cost us money to produce, so each installation gets a limited number of them per day. Dictionary answers are unlimited and never leave your device.

To count that allowance, the app reads an identifier your operating system provides for this app — the Android ID on Android, the identifier for vendor on iOS, or a random number generated in your browser on the web. It is sent to our server once. The server converts it into an irreversible code, returns a token, and discards the identifier: the original value is never stored in our systems and never appears in our logs.

The token is saved on your device and sent with each request that needs a generated reply. All it records is how many replies that installation has used today.

This identifier is not linked to your name, your email, or any account. It is not used for advertising, not used to build a profile, and never shared with or sold to anyone. Reinstalling the app, or clearing site data in your browser, starts a new count.

Buying credits

When the daily allowance runs out you can buy a pack of credits. The payment itself is handled entirely by Google Play — we never see your card, your billing address, or your Google account, and none of that reaches our servers at any point.

What we do keep is the receipt. Google gives the app a purchase token, the app sends it to our server, and our server asks Google whether it represents a real, completed payment. We store a scrambled version of that token — the original is not kept — alongside the installation code described above, and we add the credits to that installation's balance.

That record exists for one reason: so the same purchase cannot be claimed twice. Without it, a receipt could be replayed for unlimited credits, and every generated reply costs us money. For the same reason it is kept for as long as the app is running, rather than expiring — a forgotten receipt is a claimable one. Your credit balance likewise stays until you spend it, because you paid for it.

Taken together this means we know that some installation bought credits and how many are left. It is not linked to your name, your email, or any account, it is not used for advertising or to build a profile, and it is never sold or shared.

What we count

We keep a tally of which phrases get asked and which answers get liked, so we can write better built-in answers for the questions that come up most.

The tally is kept per phrase, never per person. There is no record of what any particular installation asked: a phrase and a number, with no way to walk back from one to the other. Counting how many different people asked something uses a method that stores no identifiers at all — only enough information to estimate a total.

The words you typed are only kept once at least three different installations have asked the same thing. Below that, all we hold is a scrambled fingerprint of the phrase and a count, which cannot be turned back into text. Something you asked that nobody else did is never readable by us, and if nobody asks it again within 90 days even that fingerprint is deleted.

Phrases answered by the built-in dictionary are matched on your device and are not counted at all, because we never see them.

None of this is linked to your name, your email, or an account. It is not used for advertising or to build a profile of you, and it is never sold or shared.

Reporting a result

Every result carries a Report this result button. If you use it, we do keep a record — the reason you picked, anything you typed into the detail box, the phrase you entered, and the reply that was generated. We need all of that to review the report; there is no way to act on a flag without seeing what was flagged.

Reports are not linked to an account, because there are none. They are used only to review and improve the app's output, and are kept no longer than needed for that.

What our servers log

Our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps short-lived operational logs of requests, which can include your IP address, in order to run the service and diagnose errors. These logs are retained by the provider for a limited period and are not used to build a profile of you. When a request fails, we log the technical error only — not what you typed.

A completed purchase is also written to those logs — the installation code, the order number Google issued, and the number of credits granted — so a payment that went wrong can be traced and put right. The same short retention applies.

What we do not do

Children

The app is written for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Your choices

Nothing identifies you personally, so there is no account or personal profile to export or delete. The installation code that counts your allowance is not tied to your identity and expires from our systems on its own. Phrase counts are not tied to any installation, so there is nothing in them to look up or remove on your behalf — but if a stored phrase should not be there, email us and we will delete it. A purchase record has to outlive the transaction so the receipt cannot be claimed again, and a refund is Google's to make rather than ours; write to us about a purchase that went wrong and we will sort it out. Uninstalling the app removes everything it kept on your device. If you submitted a report and want it deleted, or have any other question about your data, email chloegu214@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.

A word on the content

This is a joke app. Its replies are generated for entertainment and are not advice — relationship, psychological, legal, or otherwise.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Material changes will be noted in the app's store listing release notes.
