Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

When you interact with your Huomon plush, we may collect and process:

• Voice input (temporarily recorded after button activation)
• Text transcriptions of what you say (via OpenAI Whisper)
• AI-generated replies (via OpenAI GPT-4-turbo)
• Text-to-speech conversions (via Google TTS, ElevenLabs, or equivalent)
• Basic technical data, such as Wi-Fi connection status, usage frequency, or error logs
• Contact details (if you reach out to us via email or phone)

We do not record or store audio locally on the device. All data is transmitted securely to process your request and generate a reply — nothing more.

2. How We Use It

We use your data solely to make your Huomon plush respond in real-time and sound like a personality, not a robot.

Data is used to:

• Transcribe your voice
• Generate a GPT-powered reply
• Convert that reply into voice
• Improve functionality and troubleshoot issues

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or resale. Ever.

3. Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted partners to process your voice and generate intelligent replies:

• OpenAI – for transcription and AI-generated responses
  OpenAI Privacy Policy
• Google Cloud / ElevenLabs – for voice output via TTS

Your data may be processed under their systems only to fulfill the plushie's core functionality.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data:

• All transmissions use secure, encrypted channels (HTTPS)
• Voice data is only collected after physical activation (button press)
• No unnecessary data is collected or stored

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request deletion of any stored support or contact data
• Ask questions about how your data is used
• Opt-out of future communication or updates

6. Children's Privacy

Huomon is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect or process data from anyone under 16 years old.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Effective Date" above.

If the changes are significant, we'll let you know directly.
