Account Information

When using our service, your account is tied solely to your phone number. You must verify your number using the procedure within the Services before you can use the Services. Should your phone number change, it is your responsibility to secure your recordings by backing them up and / or deleting them before changing numbers. We are not responsible for your recordings being accessed by someone else who acquires your old phone number and then installs the Services.

Audio Recordings

We collect audio recordings of phone call conversations that you capture using the services.

Why and how we collect these audio recordings:

• To create a transcript of the service using the Phoneic proprietary ASR (automatic speech recognition), and speaker ID technology. 
• We may select segments of raw or partially processed audio and associated transcribed text from multiple recorded conversations from different Users of the Services to be used as training data to automatically train our proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Only after receiving explicit permission from the Customer we may manually transcribe certain recorded conversations to further enrich our training data.

How we retain audio recordings:

We store a copy of the recording, the associated transcript, speaker ID, and other related metadata until it is deleted by the user who uploaded the recording. If it is deleted by the user no record will be retained by Phoneic.

When you place a call through the Service, your phone number is logged by one of our telephony partners. If and when you request for your account to be terminated by emailing us, you may also request that we remove all logs containing your phone number from our partners’ systems.
