Welcome to Sidi. Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before using the Sidi mobile application ("Sidi," "the App," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using Sidi, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Sidi is a Yoruba voice assistant designed to make everyday tasks — calling, messaging, and more — easier through natural voice commands, with a special focus on serving elderly users, visually impaired users, and Yoruba-speaking families.
2.1 Storage and Improvement of Sidi When you speak to Sidi, your audio commands may be stored and used to fine-tune and improve Sidi's ability to understand Yoruba speech. This helps Sidi get better at recognizing accents, phrasing, and everyday language over time, for you and for all Sidi users.
2.2 What We Never Do With Your Information Your personal information is never sold, shared, or used for any third-party purpose — with one narrow exception described below. We do not share your contacts, messages, call history, or personal details with advertisers, data brokers, or any outside company.
2.3 The One Exception: Transcription The only time your audio ever leaves your phone is for transcription — converting your spoken words into text so Sidi can understand your request. Before this audio is sent:

Sidi is a command recognizer. It listens only when activated and only carries out the specific actions listed in its capabilities (such as calling contacts, sending messages, opening apps, or turning on the flashlight). Sidi will not perform actions outside of these listed capabilities, and it does not act on its own without your voice command.
Sidi does not listen in the background or record you without your knowledge. Your privacy is respected at all times — Sidi only processes audio when you activate it to give a command, and nothing is recorded or sent anywhere outside of that moment.
To use Sidi, you may need to sign in with a Google account. We use this only to create and recover your Sidi account and to enable core features like calling and messaging. We do not sell or share your account information with third parties.
You agree to use Sidi lawfully and respectfully. You will not use Sidi to harass, defraud, or harm others, or to attempt to interfere with the App's normal operation.
Sidi is provided "as is." While we work hard to keep the App reliable, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, and features may be added, changed, or removed over time.
Sidi is not a substitute for emergency services. In an emergency, please contact local emergency services directly.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you within the App. Continued use of Sidi after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
If you have questions about these Terms or how your data is handled, please contact us at [Insert Contact Email].
By checking "I've read and agree to Terms and Conditions" during sign-in, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.
