Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Techpuram (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Text to Reel mobile application (“App”). By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
Privacy contact: g.arunkumar7694@gmail.com
1. Summary
- We use Google or Apple sign-in to create your account.
- You provide prompts, scripts, and optional photos to generate AI videos.
- Generated videos are stored in our cloud so you can replay them in the App.
- Publishing to Trending is opt-in only — we do not auto-publish your videos.
- Main video files are kept for about 10 days, then removed.
- We use Firebase Analytics for product usage events (not your raw prompts).
- We do not sell your personal information.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Account information
When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive information from that provider, such as your name, email address, and profile photo (if shared). We store your Firebase user ID, email, display name, photo URL, token balance, and subscription or plan details in our database (Firebase Firestore).
2.2 Content you provide for generation
When you create a video, we process information you enter or upload, including:
- Prompts, topics, and scripts
- Style choices (platform, category, goal, tone, avatar/voice settings)
- Model selections
- Reference photos from your gallery or camera (optional)
- Avatar source photos if you use avatar features
Do not include sensitive personal data in prompts or images that you would not want processed by our service providers.
2.3 Generated content and history
When generation completes, we store video files, thumbnails, metadata, and a history entry linked to your account so you can replay content in the App. If you choose to share a reel to Trending, we also store your display name (or email local-part), prompt, and video URL in the Trending feed for other signed-in users.
2.4 Purchases and tokens
If you buy token packs through Google Play, we store purchase records such as product ID, tokens credited, and Google Play verification data so we can credit your balance. Tokens are credits used to generate videos; they are not a fee for permanent cloud hosting.
Promo codes you redeem may also be stored with redemption details.
2.5 Usage and analytics data
We collect product analytics through Firebase Analytics, including events such as sign-in method, screen views, tab selection, generation started/completed/failed, token spend, likes, shares, and review prompts. We link analytics to your Firebase user ID. We do not send raw prompts, scripts, or images to analytics.
2.6 Device and local data
The App may store information locally on your device, including:
- Whether you accepted the Privacy Policy and Terms
- In-progress creation drafts (topic, script, style choices, local image path)
- Cached video files for smoother playback
- Review prompt counters
The App may download fonts from Google Fonts to display typography. Google may receive standard network information (such as IP address) when fonts are fetched.
2.7 Support communications
If you contact us (for example via the in-app support email), we receive the information you send, which may include your email address and account ID.
3. How we use information
We use information to:
- Authenticate you and maintain your account
- Generate scripts, videos, avatars, and related AI outputs
- Manage token balances, purchases, and promo codes
- Show your reel history, saved items, and Trending content
- Operate sharing, likes, and bookmarks in Trending
- Improve reliability, performance, and product features
- Prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations
4. How content is stored and shared
4.1 Cloud storage
Generated videos and related media are stored in Firebase Storage (Google Cloud). Main video files are typically retained for about 10 days, after which they are deleted automatically. History metadata may remain longer with expired status. Thumbnails, audio files, reference images, and user avatars may be retained under separate rules until deleted by cleanup processes or by you (where available).
4.2 Trending feed (opt-in)
Your videos are not automatically published to Trending. You must explicitly choose to share a reel to Trending. When you do, other signed-in users may see your display name, prompt, and video in the feed. You can unpublish from Trending where the App provides that option.
4.3 External sharing
If you use the system share sheet, you choose where to send content (for example messaging or social apps). We do not control how third-party apps handle information you share with them.
5. Third-party services and SDKs
We use third-party services to operate the App. These providers process data under their own privacy policies:

Google Fonts privacy FAQ
AI generation requests are processed on our backend (Firebase Cloud Functions), which sends your prompts, scripts, and optional images to the providers above as needed to produce output.
6. Legal bases (where applicable)
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we process personal data based on: performance of our contract with you (providing the App), legitimate interests (security, analytics, product improvement), and consent (where required, such as optional Trending sharing or photo access).
7. Data retention
- Account and token records: kept while your account is active
- Generated videos (main/feed): about 10 days, then deleted

- Trending entries: removed when linked content expires or is unpublished
- User avatars: until you delete them in the App (where supported)
- Local drafts and preferences: until you clear app data or uninstall
- Analytics: retained according to Google/Firebase settings
8. Your choices and rights
- Sign out: available in the App profile settings
- Delete reel history entries: available in the App (this may not delete all cloud media immediately)
- Unpublish from Trending: available where the App provides sharing controls
- Manage Google/Apple permissions: through your Google or Apple account settings

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
9. Security
We use industry-standard safeguards through Firebase and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use a strong Google or Apple account and keep your device secure.
10. International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries where we and our service providers operate, including the United States and other countries where Google and AI providers maintain infrastructure.
11. Children’s privacy
Text to Reel is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, when required, ask you to review and accept the updated policy in the App before continued use.
