Sayso is an iPhone app that turns what you say or type into calendar events, reminders, alarms, timers and message drafts. This policy explains what Sayso does with your information. The short version: Sayso has no accounts, no servers and no analytics, and your requests stay on your iPhone.

What stays on your iPhone

• Your voice, your typed requests, and the conversation history shown in the app are processed on your device. Language understanding uses Apple's on-device model (Apple Intelligence). Speech recognition is requested to run on device.
• Your chat history, preferences and planning settings are stored only on your iPhone, inside the app. Deleting the app deletes them. You can also clear the conversation inside the app at any time.
• We do not collect, receive or store any of this on a server, because Sayso has no server.

Permissions Sayso may ask for

Sayso asks for each permission only when a feature needs it. You can change any of them in Settings > Sayso.

• Microphone and Speech Recognition: to hear what you say.
• Calendars: to read, add, change and delete events you ask for. Plans Sayso makes go in their own "Sayso Plan" calendar.
• Reminders: to read, add and delete reminders you ask for.
• Contacts: to find the person you want to message or email, by name.
• Camera and Photos: only when you choose to scan a menu or photo. Images are read on your device.
• Notifications and Alarms: to ring alarms and timers you set.

Sayso never sends a message or email by itself. It opens the Messages or Mail composer with a draft, and you choose whether to send. Every change to your calendar or reminders is shown to you for approval first.

What leaves your iPhone

• One-time voice download: the first time you use Sayso on Wi-Fi, it downloads a text-to-speech voice model (about 82 MB) from Hugging Face so replies sound natural. This is a plain file download. It does not include your data, and Sayso falls back to your iPhone's built-in voice if it is unavailable.
• Directions: if you ask for directions, the place name is passed to Apple Maps, which is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
• Messages and email: when you send a draft you opened in Messages or Mail, that app handles it under its own policy.
