Your content
Your recordings are transcribed by your phone's built-in speech recognition. Where your phone supports it this happens on the device itself; if it doesn't, your phone's own speech service (Apple or Google) handles it. Cloud AI features such as Optimise and Generate are off until you agree to them, and then send only the text (and, for "Optimise with audio", the recording) needed for that request. Your content is never shared with other users and is not used to train AI models.
Keeping and deleting your data
How long each kind of information is kept is listed in the table above.
In the app, open Settings → Privacy and tap “Delete all my data”. This straight away removes your recordings, transcripts, generated documents, your own templates and your usage history. It keeps your account, your projects and folders, and your assistant chats. To delete your account and everything left in it, email us from the address you sign in with and we'll remove it.
You can always ask for deletion by emailing support@hajir.pro. We’ll reply within 30 days.
Children's privacy
Sayforge isn't meant for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has given us their details, contact us and we'll delete them.
Your rights
We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles. You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you by emailing support@hajir.pro. If you’re not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

If what Sayforge collects changes, we’ll update this page and the date. Last updated: 27 October 2026.
