Sides Kick Privacy Policy

AI Data Disclosure — Third-Party AI Service

Sides Kick uses OpenAI, Inc. as a third-party AI service to generate text-to-speech audio for your scene partner's lines. Before the app sends any data to OpenAI, it presents a clear disclosure and asks for your consent.

What is sent to OpenAI: The text of your scene partner's script lines (the lines you are NOT performing). This is the only data transmitted.

What is NOT sent: Your name, email, account details, video recordings, or any personal identifying information. Video recordings stay on your device at all times.

Why it is sent: To generate realistic text-to-speech audio so the AI can read your scene partner's lines aloud during rehearsal.

OpenAI's handling of this data is governed by OpenAI's Privacy Policy. We do not share your script text with any other third party for AI processing.

Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Script content — text you upload or paste to rehearse. This is sent to our server solely to generate AI audio for your scene partner lines via OpenAI's text-to-speech API. You provide explicit consent to this before your first rehearsal session.
• Audio generation requests — script line text is transmitted to OpenAI, Inc. to produce text-to-speech audio. OpenAI's privacy policy governs their handling of this data.
• Video recordings — self-tape recordings are stored locally on your device only. We do not upload or store your video recordings on our servers.
• Subscription data — purchase and subscription status is managed by RevenueCat. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
• Usage metrics — page counts for your subscription tier are stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. No usage data is sent to our servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information
• We do not store your video recordings
• We do not use advertising or tracking SDKs
• We do not sell your data to any third parties
• We do not use analytics services that profile individual users

Camera & Microphone

Sides Kick requests access to your camera and microphone solely for the self-tape recording feature. Recordings are saved to your device's local storage and are never transmitted to our servers. You can revoke these permissions at any time in your iOS Settings.

Third-Party Services

The app uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• OpenAI — AI text-to-speech for scene partner lines
• RevenueCat — subscription and in-app purchase management

Data Retention

Script text sent to our server for audio generation is processed in real time and cached temporarily (up to 1 hour) in server memory as audio data to avoid redundant API calls. It is not written to disk or stored in any database.

Children's Privacy

Sides Kick is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
