MeowLinguistics ("the App") is a research-based cat language interpretation app, available on iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect, where it lives, and how we protect your information.
MeowLinguistics(「本應用程式」)是一款根據學術研究詮釋貓語的應用,提供 iOS 與 Android 版本。本隱私政策說明我們收集哪些資料、資料存放於何處,以及我們如何保護您的資訊。
MeowLinguistics collects almost no data about you. We do not track you across apps, we do not sell anything to ad networks, and we do not have a backend that stores your translations. Two kinds of data may leave your device: (1) anonymous crash & diagnostic reports, sent to Sentry (an error-monitoring service) so we can fix bugs; and (2) when you use voice input, your microphone audio is sent to your device's system speech recognizer (Apple on iOS, Google on Android) to turn speech into text. The App does not store your voice recordings — only the resulting text stays on your device.
本應用程式幾乎不收集您的資料。我們不跨應用追蹤您,不會把任何資料賣給廣告聯盟,也沒有後台伺服器儲存您的翻譯結果。可能離開您裝置的資料有兩類:(1)匿名的當機與診斷報告,送往 Sentry(錯誤監控服務)以便我們修正問題;(2)當您使用語音輸入時,您的麥克風音訊會送往裝置內建的語音辨識器(iOS 為 Apple、Android 為 Google)以將語音轉成文字。本應用不會儲存您的錄音,只有辨識出的文字會留在您的裝置上。

Voice input is optional — it only runs when you tap the microphone. When you do, the App records short audio and passes it to your device's built-in speech recognizer (Apple's on iOS, Google's on Android) to convert it to text. That recognizer may send the audio over the network to its provider to perform recognition; this is the same system service other apps use for dictation, and it is governed by Apple's / Google's own privacy policies. MeowLinguistics does not upload or keep your recordings — the temporary audio file is deleted after processing, and only the recognized text is kept on your device.
語音輸入是選用的,只有在您點選麥克風時才會啟動。啟動時,本應用會錄下一小段音訊並交給裝置內建的語音辨識器(iOS 為 Apple、Android 為 Google)轉成文字。該辨識器可能會透過網路將音訊送往其供應商進行辨識;這與其他應用使用的系統聽寫服務相同,並受 Apple/Google 各自的隱私政策規範。MeowLinguistics 不會上傳或保留您的錄音,暫存音訊檔在處理後即刪除,只有辨識出的文字會留在您的裝置上。
我們不收集:您的姓名、電子郵件、電話號碼或任何帳號資訊(本應用沒有帳號系統);您的所在位置;您的通訊錄或相簿;保存的錄音(音訊僅用於辨識,辨識後即丟棄);瀏覽紀錄或您裝置上其他已安裝的應用;廣告識別碼(本應用不顯示任何廣告)。
On iOS, the system may ask on first launch whether to allow tracking across apps. MeowLinguistics does not track you across apps regardless of your answer, and does not use an advertising identifier. Android has no such prompt because the App likewise does no cross-app tracking there.
在 iOS,系統可能會在您首次啟動時詢問是否允許跨應用追蹤。不論您選擇允許或不允許,MeowLinguistics 都不會追蹤您,也不使用廣告識別碼。Android 沒有這個提示,因為本應用在 Android 同樣不做任何跨應用追蹤。
本應用使用:Apple App Store / TestFlight 與 Google Play(散佈);Sentry(正式版的匿名當機與診斷回報,以便修錯;不附帶使用者身分或翻譯內容,詳見 Sentry 隱私政策);系統語音辨識器(iOS 為 Apple、Android 為 Google,將語音轉文字,受其各自隱私政策規範)。不使用任何廣告或跨應用分析 SDK(無 AdMob、無 Firebase Analytics、無 Facebook SDK)。
When you tap a citation link in About / Onboarding (e.g., JSTOR for Moelk 1944), the App opens that website in your browser. The website may set its own cookies — that is outside MeowLinguistics's control. See those sites' privacy policies for details.
當您點選 About / Onboarding 中的學術引用連結(例如 JSTOR 上 Moelk 1944 的論文),本應用會在您的瀏覽器中開啟該網站。該網站可能設定自己的 cookie,這超出 MeowLinguistics 的控制範圍。詳情請參閱該網站的隱私政策。
MeowLinguistics is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it.
本應用不針對 13 歲以下兒童。我們不會故意收集兒童的任何資料。如您認為發生此情況,請聯絡我們,我們將立即刪除。
Because we don't collect linkable personal data, there is nothing on our servers to access, rectify, port, or delete. Your translation history is on your device — you control it (see how to clear local data).
因為我們不收集可連結至您身分的個人資料,所以伺服器上沒有資料可供您存取、更正、攜帶或刪除。您的翻譯歷史在您自己的裝置上,您完全自主掌控(清除本機資料的步驟請參考此處)。
If we materially change what we collect (e.g., when Phase 2 adds Premium subscriptions), we will update this page with a new "Last updated" date and surface a notice in-app.
如我們實質改變收集的資料範圍(例如 Phase 2 加入 Premium 訂閱時),我們會更新本頁的「最後更新」日期,並於應用程式內顯示通知。
