telmini Mobile App Privacy Notice

Last updated: October 22, 2026

This notice covers the telmini agent app (formerly AskAIs) for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, published by MiniCode LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“telmini”, “we”, “us”). The Mac version is the same app, built for macOS; where it behaves differently, this notice says so. It is a supplement to, not a replacement for, our Privacy Policy, which continues to apply in full — including the sections on legal bases, sharing, retention, security, international transfers, and your rights. This page describes only what is specific to the mobile app, so that the two documents never state the same rule twice and cannot drift apart. Use of the app is also governed by our Terms of Service.

This notice also covers the telmini agent app for Android. Where it works differently from the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, this is described in “The Android app” below.

This notice also covers the telmini agent app for Windows, which you download from our website. Where it works differently from the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, this is described in “The Windows app” below. The app for Mac is also available as a direct download from our website.

1. Who uses this app, and who controls the data in it

The telmini app is a workplace tool for support agents. You sign in with an account that your employer (or whoever administers your telmini workspace) created for you, and the conversations, contacts, and files you see in the app belong to that workspace.

For the customer and end-user data shown in the app, your employer is the data controller and MiniCode LLC is a processor acting on their instructions. We do not decide what customer data a workspace collects, how long it keeps it, or who on the team may see it. Questions or requests about that data — including access, correction, or deletion requests from an end user — should go to the workspace that operates the app, not to us; if you send such a request to us, we will refer it to them.

For your own agent account (your name, work email, sign-in credentials, device records, and notification preferences), we act as a controller to the extent needed to run the Service and secure it, alongside the workspace that created your account.

The app is not a consumer product and is not a channel for end customers to contact support. It is distributed for use by agents of businesses that already subscribe to telmini, or that run their workspace on another domain (see “Workspaces on other domains”).

2. Signing in and credentials

You sign in with your work email address and password. The app receives a short-lived access token and a refresh token and stores both in the Keychain on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, not in application preferences or any plain file. Access tokens normally expire within one hour; refresh authorization normally expires within 30 days and is renewed each time it is used. Signing out, signing a device out remotely, or deleting your account revokes the tokens on the server and clears them from the Keychain.

The app also caches your display name, work email, and workspace identifier in the Keychain so the settings screen can show who is signed in after a cold start. That cache is cleared when you sign out.

3. Workspaces on other domains

By default, the app connects to the telmini service operated by MiniCode LLC, and wherever this notice describes what we or our servers do, it refers to workspaces on telmini. You can also use Connect Domain to add a different domain — for example, one run by your employer or by another organization using compatible software — and sign in there with an agent account that its operator gave you.

When you use a workspace on a domain you connected, the app sends the data described in this notice for that workspace — your sign-in details, messages, attachments, dictation recordings, translation requests, device information, and push-notification token — directly to that domain. That domain’s operator, not MiniCode LLC, is responsible for this data and decides how it is used, stored, and shared, including which AI service, if any, processes dictation and translation. Its own terms and privacy policy apply, and this notice does not cover how that operator handles your data. Please review that operator’s privacy policy before you connect.

The app sends that workspace’s data only to that domain, not to our servers, so MiniCode LLC does not receive it from the app. What the app keeps for that workspace stays on your device: the domain’s address and the name you give it are stored only on your device, and your sign-in tokens for that workspace are kept in the Keychain, as described above. You can remove a connected domain at any time in Settings › Connected Domains after signing out of its workspaces. Links that open Connect Domain only fill in the form; nothing is connected until you tap Connect.

4. Device records and the installation identifier

The first time the app runs, it generates a random installation identifier and stores it in the Keychain on your device. It is generated by the app for our own device management. It is not Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA) or vendor identifier, we do not share it with anyone else, and it is not used for advertising, cross-app tracking, or profiling.

When you sign in, we record one device row for that device so that you and your workspace administrators can see which devices are signed in and sign any of them out remotely. That row contains:

  • the installation identifier;
  • the device name and model reported by the operating system (the Mac version reports “Mac” for both), the platform (“ios”, which the Mac version also uses), and the app version;
  • the time it was last seen;
  • the Apple Push Notification service device token and its environment, if you allow notifications.

We do not record the IP address you connect from as an agent: it is not stored on your device rows, in your sign-in or password-reset records, or in the audit records of the actions you take in the workspace. An exception is Contact Support: if you use it to chat with us, we receive and keep your IP address, as described in “Contact Support in the app”. To protect sign-in and password reset against abuse, our servers briefly count attempts for each network address; these counters expire on their own no later than an hour after the last attempt and are not linked to your account. Customers are different: the IP addresses of the customers you talk to are still recorded for your workspace and used to estimate their location, as described in “Customer information the app shows you”.

5. Push notifications, including what appears on your lock screen

If you allow notifications, the operating system gives the app a push token that we store on the device row described above and use only to deliver notifications about your workspace’s conversations. You can turn notifications off in iOS Settings, or on Mac in System Settings › Notifications, or turn them off for all of your devices from the app’s notification settings.

Please read this paragraph carefully, because it concerns other people’s information. A notification alert about a new message contains the contact’s display name as the title and, as the body, the text of that message truncated to 160 characters. Messages that are not text (images, files, voice notes, video) are replaced by a short placeholder instead of the file or its address. The notification also carries the conversation identifier so that tapping it opens the right conversation. This means a customer’s message text can be displayed on your lock screen, in notification banners, and in your notification centre, and, like all push notifications on Apple devices, it passes through Apple’s Push Notification service in order to reach your device. If the conversations you handle are sensitive, use the notification preview settings — in iOS Settings, or on Mac in System Settings › Notifications — to hide previews, or turn push notifications off in the app.

We keep a delivery log of each notification attempt — the workspace, the recipient agent, the device, the conversation, the provider, and whether it was sent, skipped, or failed, with the reason. The log does not store the message text or the notification body.

Notifications can be filtered from inside the app: you can limit them to conversations assigned to you, mute conversations that AI is handling, restrict them to chosen inboxes, and set a daily do-not-disturb window in a time zone you choose. Those preferences are stored against your user account, not against a single phone, so they follow you when you change devices.

6. Camera, microphone, photos, and files

The app asks for access to the camera or the microphone only when you first use a feature that needs it, using the system’s standard permission prompt. If you decline, the rest of the app keeps working without that feature. You can turn camera or microphone access for the app on or off at any time in iOS Settings, or on Mac in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone. The app uses them only while you are taking a photo, recording a video, dictating, or recording a voice message.

On Mac. The Mac version uses the microphone only for dictation and team voice messages. It has no option to take a photo or record a video and never asks for camera access; to attach a picture on Mac, use the photo picker or the file picker described below.

Camera (iPhone and iPad). When you choose to take a photo or record a video from the attachment menu, the app opens the system camera, and what you capture is attached to the reply you are writing. On the device, photos are converted to JPEG and videos to MP4 so that customers’ browsers can display them.

What the microphone is used for. The app uses the microphone for three things only: voice messages, the sound of videos you record, and dictation. Voice messages and videos are sent only to the people you send them to. Dictation, and voice messages when your workspace has turned on voice-to-text, are turned into text by our AI service provider, OpenAI (see “AI features and third-party AI (OpenAI)”); the sound of videos is not processed by AI. We do not keep dictation recordings. This is also what the system’s microphone permission request says.

Microphone for dictation. When you tap the microphone button in the reply box, the app records what you say until you tap it again, then sends the recording to our servers, which forward it to OpenAI, a third-party AI service acting as our subprocessor, to convert it into text (see “AI features and third-party AI (OpenAI)” below). The text is placed in the reply box for you to review and edit; nothing is sent to the customer until you send the reply yourself. The recording is used only to produce that text: we do not store the audio, it is not attached to the conversation, and the temporary copy on your device is deleted once it has been uploaded. Dictation is available only if it is enabled for your workspace. For a workspace on a domain you connected, the recording is sent to that domain instead (see “Workspaces on other domains”).

Microphone for team voice messages. When you record a voice message in team chat, the app records until you stop, then uploads the recording and sends it to your teammates as a voice-message attachment, stored with that message like any other attachment (see “Team chat”). The voice message itself is delivered only to the teammates you send it to. If your workspace has turned on voice-to-text, our servers also send the recording to OpenAI to create a text transcript shown under the message; if it is off, the recording is not sent to any AI service.

Microphone for video (iPhone and iPad). When you record a video with the camera, the microphone records the sound that goes with it, as part of that video attachment. The video, with its sound, is sent only to the conversation you attach it to and is not processed by AI.

Photos. To attach a photo you already have, the app uses the system photo picker. The app receives only the specific items you select; it is never given access to your photo library as a whole, and it does not browse, index, or read anything you have not picked. Images in HEIC format, which most customer browsers cannot display, are converted to JPEG on the device before uploading.

Files. To attach a document or another file, the app opens the system file picker. The app can read only the files you pick, and only to upload them. Files of a type the Service does not accept, or larger than the limit for their type, are turned down before anything is uploaded. On Mac, you can also save a file attachment to your computer with Save As…, which opens the standard save panel; the app can write only to the location you choose there.

What happens to attachments. You can attach up to ten items to one reply. Each one is uploaded directly to the Service’s file storage over a pre-signed link when you add it, and becomes part of your workspace’s conversation record when you send the reply. From then on it is stored with that message and retained or deleted according to your workspace’s settings and instructions, like any other Customer Data described in the Privacy Policy.

Apart from the camera, microphone, photo picker, file picker, and save panel described in this section, the app does not access your contacts, your calendar, your location, health or fitness data, or any other sensor or personal data source on your device. The app never reads your device’s location (it does not use GPS or Location Services); the only location information involved is the approximate location that our servers estimate from your IP address when you use Contact Support, described in “Contact Support in the app”.

7. Team chat

Team chat lets the members of your workspace talk to each other in the app. It has a team channel, which every member of your workspace can read, and direct messages between two members, which only those two members can read. Messages can contain text, voice messages, photos, videos, and files. Customers never see team chat.

Who can see it. Team chat belongs to your workspace, which is the controller of its content, like the conversations described in “Who uses this app, and who controls the data in it”. Only signed-in members of your workspace can read it, and only in the channel or the direct messages they take part in. People outside your workspace, including other telmini customers, cannot see it.

How it is stored. Team chat messages are stored on our servers so that they can be delivered to your teammates and shown on all your devices. The text of each message, and the names and links of its attachments, are encrypted on our servers with a key unique to your workspace (server-side encryption at rest). This is not end-to-end encryption: our servers decrypt messages in order to deliver them to the members who may read them. Voice messages and other attachments are uploaded to the Service’s file storage, like the attachments described in “Camera, microphone, photos, and files”. Team chat is kept or deleted according to your workspace’s settings and instructions, like other Customer Data described in the Privacy Policy.

AI and team chat. Team chat messages and attachments are not sent to any AI service, except when you translate a message or have turned on automatic translation, when you use Notebook’s “Write with AI” on a team chat, and, when enabled by your workspace, voice-to-text, which sends voice messages to OpenAI to create text transcripts. These cases are described in “AI features and third-party AI (OpenAI)”.

8. Tools and Notebook

The Tools tab gathers the workspace tools available to you, such as Notebook, the AI Settings Assistant, and AI learning. Which tools you see depends on your role and on what your workspace has turned on. The AI Settings Assistant and AI learning are AI features and are described in “AI features and third-party AI (OpenAI)”.

Notebook. You can write notes and checklists. A note is either personal, which only you can see, or a team note, which the members of your workspace can see and, if your workspace allows it, edit. The app keeps earlier versions of a note so that you can restore them. Notes are part of your workspace’s data.

How notes are stored. Notes are stored on our servers so that they are available on all your devices. Their titles, text, checklist items, and earlier versions are encrypted on our servers with a key unique to your workspace (server-side encryption at rest, not end-to-end encryption). They are kept or deleted according to your workspace’s settings and instructions, like other Customer Data described in the Privacy Policy.

“Write with AI”. Notes are not sent to any AI service unless you use “Write with AI”. When you do, only the content you choose for that draft (a customer conversation, a team chat, a note, or a description) and the instructions you type are sent to OpenAI to draft the note. The draft is not saved until you save it.

9. AI features and third-party AI (OpenAI)

This section describes workspaces on telmini. If you use a workspace on a domain you connected, AI features go to that domain instead, and its operator decides which AI service, if any, is used (see “Workspaces on other domains”).

How AI fits into a workspace. The telmini app is used inside a company workspace. The business that runs the workspace sets it up, including which AI features are available, as it does with its other work systems, and it is responsible for informing its staff about the tools it uses. Staff use the app to do their work for that business: handling customer messages, dictation, voice messages, team chat, and notes. Staff are informed through this notice and our Privacy Policy, which are linked on the sign-in screen (“By signing in, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.”), and through the system permission requests for the microphone and camera, which they choose whether to allow. The app has no separate AI switches of its own; your workspace’s owner or administrators can turn AI features off for everyone.

Every AI feature in the app uses OpenAI only. OpenAI is a third-party AI service that acts as our subprocessor; we do not send this content to any other AI provider. Content is sent to OpenAI, through our servers, only when a feature is used. For each feature, this is what is sent, how it is collected, what it is used for, how long we keep it, and who receives it:

  • Dictation. What is sent: the recording of what you say. How it is collected: the app records only while the microphone button in the reply box is on, then uploads the recording to our servers, which forward it to OpenAI. Used for: turning your speech into text, which is placed in the reply box for you to review before you send anything. Kept: we do not store the recording; the temporary copy on your device is deleted once it has been uploaded. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • Translate (messages and reply drafts). What is sent: the text of the message you chose — usually something a customer wrote — or the text in your reply box, the language to translate it into, and matching terms from your workspace’s glossary. How it is collected: sent when you tap Translate on a message or on your draft. Used for: returning the translation to you. Kept: the translation of a message is saved with that message in your workspace so that it does not have to be translated again; drafts and their translations are not stored on our servers. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • Team chat translation and automatic translation. What is sent: the text of the teammate’s message you chose, or — if you turn on automatic translation in team chat — the text of new messages from your teammates, and the language to translate it into. How it is collected: sent when you tap Translate on a team chat message, or automatically for new messages while automatic translation is on. Used for: showing you the message in your language. Kept: the translation is saved with that message in your workspace. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • AI Settings Assistant. What is sent: what you type to the assistant, the earlier messages of that assistant conversation, your role in the workspace, and the workspace information the assistant looks up to answer you or to prepare a change: workspace settings, FAQs, keyword rules, canned replies, the list of knowledge-base documents, and conversation statistics. How it is collected: sent each time you send a message to the assistant; the assistant then reads only what it needs from your workspace on our servers. Used for: understanding your request, answering it, and preparing changes. Nothing in your workspace is changed until you confirm. Kept: the assistant conversation and the changes you confirmed are kept with your workspace’s data. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • Notebook “Write with AI”. What is sent: the customer conversation you chose — including its internal notes — or the team chat (with your teammates’ names), note, or description you chose, and the instructions you type. How it is collected: sent when you ask AI to write a note. Used for: drafting the note for you to review. Kept: nothing is saved until you save the draft; a saved note is kept in your workspace. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • Voice message transcripts (when enabled by your workspace). What is sent: the recording of a voice message or audio file sent in your workspace, such as a team chat voice message that you or a teammate record, an audio file you send to a customer, or a voice message a customer sends. How it is collected: after the message is sent, our servers send the recording to OpenAI, only if your workspace has turned on voice-to-text (also called speech-to-text). If it is off, voice messages are delivered without a transcript and the recording is not sent to any AI service. Videos are never sent for transcription. Used for: creating a text transcript shown under the message. Kept: the recording and the transcript are stored with the message as part of your workspace’s data. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • Resume AI handling (handing a conversation back to AI). What is sent: the recent messages of the conversation — what the customer and your team wrote, which can include names and contact details — images the customer sent in it, and contact details your workspace already holds: the customer’s name, a partly masked email address, their device, and their approximate location, as well as the app or browser they use, their account tier, and their earlier conversations with your team. How it is collected: sent when you tap Resume AI handling, and afterwards whenever the AI replies in that conversation. Used for: letting the AI set up by your workspace reply to the customer. Kept: the AI’s replies are stored in the conversation like any other message. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • AI help in Contact Support. What is sent: the messages, images, and files you send in Contact Support, together with your name, your work email address (partly masked), your workspace, app and device details, your approximate location (estimated from your IP address), and your earlier support conversations. How it is collected: sent when you write to our support team in Contact Support. Used for: letting AI suggest or write replies to you from our support team. Kept: we keep the support conversation as our support record for as long as we need it to help you; you can ask us to delete it at any time. Sent to: OpenAI.
  • AI learning. What is sent: the resolved customer conversations that you or a teammate choose to send to AI learning, including the AI’s and your team’s replies in them. How it is collected: sent when someone sends conversations to AI learning, and only if your workspace has turned AI learning on. Used for: drafting question-and-answer cases, which a member of your workspace reviews before the workspace’s AI uses them. Kept: the cases are kept with your workspace’s data. Sent to: OpenAI.

Messages, drafts, and conversations sent for these features can contain your customers’ names, order details, or other information they have shared, and that information is sent to OpenAI as part of the content.

When content is sent. Dictation, Translate, the AI Settings Assistant, “Write with AI”, Resume AI handling, and AI help in Contact Support send content only when you use them, and automatic translation in team chat only while you have it turned on. Voice message transcripts, AI learning, workspace AI auto-replies, and knowledge-base indexing run only if your workspace has turned them on. Your workspace can turn AI features off for everyone at any time; when a feature is off, nothing is sent for it.

What does not use AI. Team chat messages, the videos you record and their sound, the photos and files you send to customers or teammates, and your notes are not sent to any AI service, unless you use one of the features above on them, for example translating a team chat message or using “Write with AI”. Voice messages are sent to AI only to create transcripts, when enabled by your workspace.

We and OpenAI use this content only to provide the feature you used — to transcribe, translate, draft, answer, or reply — and for the abuse monitoring described below. We do not use it for advertising or to train AI models, and we do not sell it. Content kept in your workspace, as described for each feature above, is retained or deleted according to your workspace’s settings and instructions, like other Customer Data described in the Privacy Policy.

We engage OpenAI under written terms, including a data processing addendum, that require it to provide the same or equal protection of personal data as described in this notice and in our Privacy Policy. Under those terms and OpenAI’s API data usage policy, content we send is not used to train OpenAI’s models, and OpenAI may keep it for up to 30 days to monitor for abuse before deleting it.

The third-party AI service provider we currently use for these features is:

  • OpenAI: AI replies to customers (including after a conversation is handed back to AI, and AI help in Contact Support), translation (including team chat translation and automatic translation), voice dictation, voice message transcripts, the AI Settings Assistant, Notebook’s “Write with AI”, learning from past conversations, knowledge-base indexing and search, the other AI tools in the web dashboard. See OpenAI’s API data usage policy.

Workspace AI auto-replies. Automatic AI replies to customers are not sent from the app: your workspace turns them on in the web dashboard and they run on our servers, as described under “Third-party AI services” in the Privacy Policy. What is sent: the customer’s messages and the recent conversation, images the customer sent in it, relevant excerpts from the workspace’s knowledge base, and contact details the workspace already holds, such as the customer’s name, device, and approximate location (never their IP address). How it is collected: from the conversation as the customer writes. Used for: drafting a reply to the customer. Kept: the replies are stored in the conversation like any other message. Sent to: OpenAI. Handing a conversation back to AI from the app, described above, lets those replies continue it. To find relevant excerpts, the documents your workspace adds to its knowledge base are sent to OpenAI to be indexed when they are added (knowledge-base indexing).

10. Customer information the app shows you

Signed in as an agent, you can read the conversations and message history of your workspace. Opening a visitor’s profile shows you what the workspace already holds about that contact — the same details the web dashboard shows to agents:

  • name, email address and whether it was verified, and avatar;
  • the IP address they most recently connected from;
  • how they reached the workspace: platform, operating system, browser, device model, and app version;
  • approximate location and time settings derived from their connection: country, city, region, and time zone;
  • when they were first and last seen, and whether they are online now;
  • any custom attributes the workspace chooses to store about them, such as plan or membership fields;
  • their earlier conversations with the same workspace.

Only signed-in agents of your workspace who are allowed to read its conversations can see these details, under the same access rules as the web dashboard, and they are shown to you so that you can help the customer — for example, to understand where and on what device a problem happens. They are processed on behalf of your workspace, which is the controller of this data. The app receives them through a single allow-list on our servers, so fields added to the contact record in future are not sent to the app unless someone adds them there deliberately. A phone or laptop is easy to lose, so keep yours locked and handle this information as your workspace instructs.

11. Contact Support in the app

Starting with version 1.3, Contact Support in the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac opens a chat with our own support team. When you use Contact Support in the app, we receive your IP address and use it to estimate an approximate location (country, region, and city). We store your IP address and that location with that support conversation, together with your name and work email address if you are signed in, to help us respond to you. This information is used for customer support only, not for tracking or advertising.

This approximate location is “coarse location” data: it is estimated only to city level from your IP address, never from your device’s GPS or Location Services, and it is linked to your support conversation and, if you are signed in, to your name and work email address. We collect it only to provide customer support (app functionality), we do not use it for tracking, advertising, or analytics, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. We keep it with that support conversation for as long as we keep the conversation as our support record, and you can ask us to delete it at any time by emailing us (see “Contact”).

Report a Problem. Starting with the next version of the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Settings › Privacy › Report a Problem lets you, while signed in, send us a description of a problem together with up to three screenshots you choose, the app version and build, your device model, operating-system version, and app language, and — if you leave that option on — a short list of recent error log lines from which the app deletes message content, email addresses, tokens, and IP addresses before anything leaves your device. The report is delivered to our support team as a conversation in Contact Support, linked to your name, work email address, and workspace. We use it only to answer you and fix the problem, we keep it with that support conversation like our other support records, and you can ask us to delete it at any time in the support chat or by emailing us (see “Contact”).

12. Crash and error reports

Starting with version 1.3, the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac sends crash and error reports to Sentry, a service provided by Functional Software, Inc. in the United States, which acts as our processor. We use these reports only to find and fix problems in the app.

A report is sent when the app crashes, when it stops responding for two seconds or more, or when certain errors occur — for example, when the app cannot read a response from our servers or cannot register for push notifications. A report contains technical details: the type of error and where in the app it occurred, the app version and build, the device model, the operating-system version, available memory and storage, and a short, cleaned record of what the app did just before, such as screen changes and the status of recent requests to the server.

Personal data is removed on your device before a report is sent. Reports do not include message content, reply drafts, captions, or attachments; email addresses or phone numbers; passwords, sign-in tokens, cookies, or encryption keys; or IP addresses. Web addresses are shortened so that search terms and other parameters are not sent. Reports are not linked to your account, your workspace, or the device records described above: the only identifier in them is a random one that Sentry’s software creates for the installation. The app does not send screenshots, does not record the screen, and does not use Sentry to measure performance or usage.

Error reports are on by default. You can turn them off at any time in the app under Settings › Privacy › Send Error Reports; the app then stops sending them immediately. The home-screen widgets and the notification extension do not send error reports.

13. Tracking, analytics, and advertising

Apart from Sentry, which the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac uses only for the crash and error reports described above, the app contains no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting software development kits. It does not use Apple’s advertising identifier, does not present an App Tracking Transparency prompt, and collects no data for tracking as Apple defines it. Crash and error reports are not used for tracking or advertising. We do not sell personal information, and no data from the app is shared with data brokers or advertising networks.

14. Your online status

While the app holds a live connection, you are shown as online to your teammates, and your “last active” time is updated at most once every five minutes. Beyond showing colleagues who is available, this is what allows us to skip a push notification when you are already active at the web dashboard, so that the same message does not interrupt you twice. Online status is held in a short-lived cache that expires by itself within about thirty seconds of the app disconnecting.

15. Deleting your account from the app

You can delete your own agent account from the app’s settings. Because this cannot be undone, it asks you to confirm with your password or with a code sent to your email address. A workspace owner can also delete their account in the app: if the workspace has other members, the owner picks a new owner in the app and ownership is handed over as part of the deletion; if the owner is the only member, the workspace and all of its data are deleted together with the account. Platform administrator accounts cannot be deleted this way.

When you confirm, we revoke every session and delete every device record for your account, delete your notification preferences, remove your name, email address, avatar, password, and any linked Google identity from your user record, replacing them with an anonymous placeholder that cannot be traced back to your original details, and mark the account as deleted so that it can never be signed in to again. Conversations still open and assigned to you are unassigned so that customers are not left waiting.

Messages you sent to customers, and the audit records of actions taken in the workspace, are kept. They are the workspace’s business records rather than your personal profile, and they are attached to conversations that belong to your employer. If you want those records changed or removed, that decision belongs to the workspace that operates the app; contact them, and see “Controller and processor roles” in the Privacy Policy.

If you can’t use the app, you can also ask us to delete your account by email. Both ways, and what is deleted and what is kept, are described on Delete your telmini account.

16. Buying a plan or AI credits in the app

In the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, the owner of a workspace can buy a paid plan, which is a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or a pack of AI credits, using Apple’s In-App Purchase. Other members of the workspace cannot buy anything in the app, and the Android app offers no purchases.

Apple processes the payment. We never receive your payment card or bank details, and we do not receive the email address of your Apple Account.

So that the workspace gets what was paid for, the app sends us the purchase record that Apple signs, and Apple sends our server a notice when a subscription renews, changes, lapses, or is refunded. From these we keep which product was bought; Apple’s transaction identifiers; the purchase, renewal, and expiry dates; whether automatic renewal is on; whether the purchase was made in Apple’s test environment; any refund or revocation; and which member of the workspace made the purchase. So that a purchase is credited to the right workspace, the app attaches to it a random identifier that we generate for the workspace; it is not derived from your identity or your device.

We use this information only to activate, renew, change, and end the plan or to add the credits that were paid for, to handle refunds, to stop the same purchase from being used twice, and to keep financial records. We keep it for as long as the workspace exists, and after that for as long as we must for accounting and tax purposes.

Everyone in the workspace can see its current plan in the app. When the plan is paid through the App Store, members also see that it is billed to the Apple Account of the member who bought it, shown by that member’s name.

17. The Android app

The telmini agent app for Android (package com.askais.support), published by MiniCode LLC, is still named AskAIs, telmini’s previous name, on Google Play and on your device until its next update. It is a separate app from the one for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that connects to the same service. Everything in this notice applies to it — including dictation and translation, customer information, workspaces on other domains, and account deletion — except for the differences described in this section.

Signing in. Your sign-in tokens are stored in the app’s private storage, encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore, rather than in a Keychain. The app is excluded from Android backups. As on the other platforms, signing out or deleting your account revokes them on our servers.

Device record. When you sign in, the app sends the device manufacturer and model reported by Android (for example, “Google Pixel 8”), the platform (“android”), the app version, and an installation identifier that the app generates for our own device management. The app does not read your phone number, IMEI, Android ID, or advertising ID. Your device row, described in “Device records and the installation identifier”, holds these details and never a push token.

Notifications. The Android app does not use Firebase Cloud Messaging or any other push service, and it does not register a push token. While you are signed in and Background notifications is on (Settings › Notifications › On this device; it is on by default), the app keeps an encrypted connection to your workspace’s server and shows new-message alerts itself, and Android shows an ongoing “AskAIs is staying connected” notification. An alert shows the contact’s display name — followed by the workspace name if you are signed in to more than one workspace — and up to the first 120 characters of the message; images, files, voice messages, and videos are replaced by a short placeholder. Because alerts are created on your device, their content does not pass through Google’s or Apple’s push services, but it can still appear on your lock screen and in the notification shade. Use Android’s notification settings to hide sensitive content, or turn Background notifications off.

Permissions. On Android 13 and later, the app asks for permission to show notifications. It uses the microphone only while you are dictating after tapping the microphone button. The app has no camera or photo-library permission: Take Photo and Record Video open the system camera app, which captures the photo or video (including a video’s sound) and returns only that result to the app, and photos and files are chosen with the system pickers, which give the app only the items you select. You can change the app’s permissions at any time in Android’s settings.

Dictation. As on the other platforms, the recording is sent to our servers only to be turned into text and is not stored; the app deletes its temporary copy on your device as soon as you stop recording. If a recording cannot be turned into text, the app offers “Send it as a voice message instead”. If you choose it, that recording is sent to the customer as a voice-message attachment and is stored with the conversation like any other attachment. Transcripts of audio. The Android app has no team chat. When a voice message or audio file sent from this app reaches our servers and speech-to-text is turned on for your workspace, our servers send the recording to OpenAI to create a written transcript, which is stored with the message — the same as for audio sent from the web dashboard.

Analytics, advertising, and error reports. The Android app does not send crash or error reports to Sentry (see “Crash and error reports”, which applies only to the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac). It contains no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting software development kits, and it does not use the Android advertising ID.

18. The Windows app

The telmini agent app for Windows, published by MiniCode LLC and downloaded from our website, is still installed under telmini’s previous name, AskAIs, until its next version. It is a separate app from the one for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that connects to the same service. Everything in this notice applies to it — including dictation and translation, customer information, workspaces on other domains, and account deletion — except for the differences described in this section. The Windows app offers no purchases, and it does not update itself: to get a new version, you download the latest installer from our website.

Signing in. Your sign-in tokens are stored in a file in the app’s data folder in your Windows user profile, encrypted with Windows Data Protection (DPAPI) so that they are tied to your Windows user account, rather than in a Keychain. Signing out removes them from your PC, and, as on the other platforms, signing out or deleting your account revokes them on our servers.

Device record. When you sign in, the app sends the computer name set in Windows, the Windows edition as Windows reports it, the app version, and an installation identifier that the app generates for our own device management, and it reports that the device runs Windows. A computer name can include a person’s name; you can see or change it in Windows Settings › System › About. The app does not send us your Windows advertising ID or any hardware serial number. Your device row, described in “Device records and the installation identifier”, holds these details and never a push token.

Notifications. The Windows app does not use the Windows Push Notification Service or any other push service, and it does not register a push token. While you are signed in and the app is running — with its window open, or closed to the system tray — it keeps an encrypted connection to your workspace’s server and shows new-message alerts itself as Windows notifications. An alert shows the contact’s display name — followed by the workspace name if you are signed in to more than one workspace — and up to the first 120 characters of the message; images, files, voice messages, and videos are replaced by a short placeholder. Because alerts are created on your PC, their content does not pass through Microsoft’s, Google’s, or Apple’s push services, but it can appear in notification banners, in the Windows notification centre, and on your lock screen, depending on your Windows settings. After you quit the app, no alerts arrive until you open it again. Use Windows’ notification settings to hide notification content or to turn AskAIs notifications off.

System tray and startup. While you are signed in, closing the window keeps the app running in the Windows system tray so that alerts keep arriving. You can turn this off in the app under Settings › Desktop › Keep running in the system tray (it is on by default), and Quit AskAIs in the tray icon’s menu closes the app completely. Launch at startup is off by default. If you turn it on, the app starts in the tray when you sign in to Windows; you can turn it off again in the app, in Windows Settings › Apps › Startup, or in Task Manager.

Permissions and files. The app uses the microphone only while you are dictating after clicking the microphone button. Windows controls microphone access in its privacy settings; if access is off, dictation does not work and the rest of the app keeps working. The Windows app has no camera feature. To attach a file, you choose it in the standard Windows file dialog, drag it into the reply box, or paste it from the clipboard; the app reads only the items you choose, and only to upload them.

Dictation. As on the other platforms, the recording is sent to our servers only to be turned into text and is not stored; the app deletes its temporary copy on your PC as soon as you stop recording. If a recording cannot be turned into text, the app offers “Send it as a voice message instead”. If you choose it, that recording is sent to the customer as a voice-message attachment and is stored with the conversation like any other attachment. Transcripts of audio. The Windows app has no team chat. When a voice message or audio file sent from this app reaches our servers and speech-to-text is turned on for your workspace, our servers send the recording to OpenAI to create a written transcript, which is stored with the message — the same as for audio sent from the web dashboard.

What stays on your PC. Besides the encrypted sign-in file, the app keeps your app settings, the domains you connected, the window’s size and position, and unsent reply drafts (for up to 50 conversations per account) in its data folder (the AskAIs folder in AppData\Roaming in your Windows user profile), so they are there when you come back. Uninstalling the app removes the app itself, its startup entry, and its askais:// link registration, but keeps this folder, so that you don’t have to sign in again if you reinstall. To remove your sign-in tokens from your PC, sign out in the app before you uninstall it; to remove everything, also delete that folder. Opening an askais:// link only fills in the Connect Domain form, and nothing is connected until you click Connect.

Analytics, advertising, and error reports. The Windows app does not send crash or error reports to Sentry (see “Crash and error reports”, which applies only to the app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac). It contains no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting software development kits, and it does not use the Windows advertising ID. Error reports that Windows itself may send under your Windows diagnostic data settings are handled by Microsoft under its own privacy statement.

19. Children

The telmini app is a workplace application for the support staff of businesses. It is not directed to children, and accounts are created by workspace administrators, not by self-registration in the app.
