Privacy Policy

Effective October 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Hypeman: Car Startup Sounds (“Hypeman”, “we”, “us”), offered by Nicolás Acosta, collects when you use the Hypeman iPhone app, how we use it, and the choices you have. We built Hypeman to collect as little as possible: there are no ads, we don’t track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell your data.

Short version: you don’t create an account with an email or password. Your recordings and uploaded audio never leave your iPhone. When you generate an AI voice intro, the text you type (which may include your first name) is sent to our servers to create the audio. Purchases are handled by Apple, and we use anonymous analytics to understand how the app is used.

Information we collect

Anonymous account identifier

When you first open the app, we automatically create an anonymous account so the app can work with our servers. It is identified by a random ID — not by your name, email or phone number. We use it to keep your AI intros associated with you, to apply the monthly AI intro limit, and to know whether you have an active subscription.

The text of your AI voice intros, and the name you enter

When you generate an intro with an AI voice — including the personalized intro created during setup — the text of that intro is sent to our servers. During setup this text includes the first name you enter (for example, “Welcome, Alex…”). We store the text and the generated audio file, linked to your anonymous account, so we can deliver the intro to you and enforce usage limits. The text is also sent to our voice provider to create the audio (see “Service providers” below).

Purchase information

Subscriptions are purchased and paid through Apple. We never see or store your payment card or billing details. We do receive information about your subscription — such as which plan you chose, its status, renewal and expiration dates, and transaction identifiers — through our subscription provider, linked to your anonymous account, so we can unlock Pro features. We also use this information in aggregate to understand trials, conversions and cancellations.

Anonymous usage analytics

We collect anonymous events about how the app is used — for example, which onboarding step was reached, whether a paywall was viewed, or that an intro played from a Shortcuts automation — along with technical details such as device model, iOS version and app version. These events are not linked to your identity: our analytics provider anonymizes the identifier before we receive it, and we never send your name, the text of your intros, or the names of your files.

Information that stays on your iPhone

Audio you record with the microphone and audio files you upload, including the trimmed clips you save.
Which sounds you assign to “connect” and “leave”, and your app preferences.
Library sounds, which are built into the app.

The microphone is used only while you are actively recording in the app, after you grant permission.

Information we don’t collect

We don’t collect your location, contacts, photos, email address, phone number, payment details or advertising identifier, and we don’t use your data to track you or to show you ads.

How we use information

To provide the app’s features, such as generating and delivering AI voice intros.
To manage subscriptions and apply usage limits.
To understand, in aggregate, how the app is used so we can improve it.
To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
To respond to you when you contact support.

Service providers

We share information only with providers that help us run Hypeman, and only for that purpose:

Supabase — hosting, database and file storage for anonymous accounts, AI intro text and generated audio (servers in the United States).
ElevenLabs — turns the text of your AI intros into voice audio.
RevenueCat — manages subscription status on behalf of Apple’s in-app purchases.
TelemetryDeck — privacy-focused, anonymous usage analytics.
Apple — App Store distribution, payments and Shortcuts.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and security of our users and of Hypeman. We do not sell or rent personal information.

Data retention and deletion

We keep the text and audio of your AI intros, and your subscription status, for as long as your anonymous account exists, so your intros keep working. Anonymous analytics are kept in aggregate form.

You can delete your data at any time from the app: open My Hype and tap Delete my data. This permanently deletes your AI intros (text and audio), your usage and purchase history, and your anonymous account from our servers and from RevenueCat, along with the intros and audio stored on your iPhone. It does not cancel an active subscription — manage that in your iPhone’s Settings. If you need help, email hypemanhq@gmail.com.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, in California or the European Union), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to certain uses. You can exercise these rights by contacting us. We won’t discriminate against you for doing so.

Children

Hypeman is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the effective date above, and for significant changes we’ll let you know in the app or on this website.
