Where is my data stored?
Your recordings are kept on your device, not on our servers. To turn your voice into text, the audio is sent securely to a transcription service - that's the step that makes your moments searchable and easy to revisit. Your text then lives in your private account, encrypted in transit and at rest. We never use your recordings or transcripts to train AI, we don't sell your data, and the TAYA app carries no advertising or analytics trackers.
