Chameleon Translate — WA iOS Privacy Policy
Updated: October 12, 2026
Operator: hanjun shen (individual developer)
Contact: contact@hanjun.pro
Read this policy before signing in or registering. Checking “I have read and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy” means you agree to the processing described here, including sending necessary text, call audio or voice samples to Volcano Engine, MiniMax and the services listed in section 4 to provide translation, live interpretation and voice features. Relevant content is submitted only when you use or enable the corresponding feature.
1. Scope
This policy covers the Chameleon Translate WA iOS client. The initial release is planned for the United States App Store. The interface is primarily Chinese and commercial-account sign-in currently requires a mainland China (+86) mobile number that can receive verification messages. Keep the app in the foreground to receive new messages and calls. Delivery after suspension or closure is not guaranteed. WhatsApp is a separate third-party service governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
2. Data on your iPhone
Linked-device sessions and keys, messages, downloaded media, call history and translation transcripts are stored in the app's private directory, separated by verified Chameleon account. This directory is excluded from system backups and uses system file protection; we do not claim additional application-level encryption of the entire database. Voice-message recognition runs locally with Whisper, with no cloud recognition fallback. Preferences, drafts and pending operations are also stored locally; login tokens and some pending content use the system Keychain.
3. Account, billing and service requests
Chameleon's commercial service processes your phone number, account identifiers, authentication and security events, credit balance, orders, usage and request identifiers. Text selected for translation is sent to that service and forwarded to ByteDance Volcano Engine. Encrypted translation results may be cached temporarily to recover duplicate requests, subject to server-configured expiry and cleanup. Account, financial, security and support records are retained as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations. Website credit purchases have separate checkout terms. The initial iOS version has no Apple in-app purchase entry point.
4. AI recipients and content
After you explicitly allow AI processing and use the relevant feature:
• ByteDance Volcano Engine receives text for message translation and both participants' audio while live call translation is enabled. Text is forwarded by Chameleon's commercial service; live audio uses the authorized speech-service connection.
• MiniMax receives text for synthesized speech and, when you create a custom voice, your recording, voice identifiers and required service authorization information. Voice samples are uploaded from your device; custom voice creation is not an offline process.
Ordinary WhatsApp messages and calls connect directly from your phone to WhatsApp, separately from AI translation processing. The operator and these services may process data outside the United States, including China. Provider processing is also governed by applicable service terms, privacy policies and contracts with the operator. We require providers to protect entrusted data and do not authorize unrelated uses. This policy does not promise that every provider has zero retention or never uses data for training; applicable product contracts determine those restrictions.
5. Choices and consent
Sign-in and registration use one Terms and Privacy Policy checkbox, unchecked by default. You must check it before requesting or resending a verification code. Checking it includes agreement to the AI processing in section 4; after sign-in and account verification, the relevant features are available without a separate AI checkbox or post-login consent dialog. Without agreement, you cannot continue sign-in or registration. System permissions, service availability and credit requirements still apply. You may withdraw in Settings → AI data consent. Withdrawal stops new AI requests and live translation; requests already sent may finish. It does not automatically erase previously submitted data. Voice creation also requires confirmation that the recording is yours or that the speaker explicitly authorized creation and use of that voice. Inform call participants and obtain any permission required by applicable law before enabling translation.
6. Permissions and protection
The microphone supports recordings, calls and voice samples; the camera supports video calls; photo selection supports sending media you choose. Notification permission supports alerts when permitted by the system. Manage permissions in iOS Settings. Declining an unrelated permission does not block other available features. Network services use encrypted transport, and the app uses private device storage and Keychain. This client contains no advertising or cross-app advertising tracking integration.
7. Access, correction, deletion and complaints
You can unlink the selected device in WhatsApp association management; this does not automatically delete your commercial account. Contact contact@hanjun.pro to request access, correction or deletion of your account, uploaded samples, custom voices or other server-side personal data. Include the request type and account phone number. Do not send verification codes, passwords or session keys. We may verify your identity and handle requests under applicable law. Records retained for financial, dispute or legal purposes have restricted uses. Deleting a shared commercial account can affect other Chameleon clients and unused credits; those effects will be explained before processing. Settings → Account management → Delete account explains the scope and provides two confirmations. It unlinks the selected WhatsApp slot, clears that slot's local chats/media, verifies unlinking, and signs out of Chameleon. Other WhatsApp slots are not unlinked. The shared commercial account, credits and other clients remain; no account deletion request is submitted. Uninstalling removes the app's private local directory; it does not automatically delete server accounts, provider data or all system Keychain records.
8. Contact and updates
Contact contact@hanjun.pro for privacy or support requests. Material changes to recipients or processing purposes will be disclosed, with renewed consent where required.

变色龙同传 WA iOS 隐私政策
更新日期：2026-10-12
运营者：hanjun shen（个人开发者）
联系邮箱：contact@hanjun.pro
请在登录注册前阅读本政策。勾选“我已阅读并同意《用户注册协议》《隐私政策》”，表示你同意本政策所述的数据处理，包括为提供翻译、同传及音色功能，将必要文字、通话语音或录音样本提交给第 4 节列明的火山引擎、MiniMax 等服务。相关内容仅在使用或启用对应功能时提交。
1. 服务范围
本政策适用于变色龙同传 WA iOS 客户端。当前首发计划为美国 App Store，界面主要为中文，商业账户登录目前需要可接收验证码的中国大陆 +86 手机号。请保持应用在前台接收新消息及来电；系统挂起或关闭应用后，不保证收到新消息或来电。WhatsApp 是第三方服务，适用其独立条款和隐私政策。
2. 手机本地的数据
WhatsApp 关联设备会话、会话密钥、聊天消息、下载媒体、通话记录和同传字幕保存在 iPhone 的应用私有目录，按已验证的变色龙商业账户隔离。该目录排除系统备份，并使用系统文件保护；我们不声称全库另有应用层加密。消息语音识别使用本机 Whisper，没有云端识别回退。草稿、偏好和待提交操作等也会保存在设备；登录令牌和部分待处理内容使用系统钥匙串。
3. 账户、计费和服务请求
变色龙商业服务处理手机号、账户标识、登录及安全事件、积分余额、订单、用量和服务请求标识。为提供和结算文字翻译，待翻译文字会提交至商业服务并转发给字节跳动火山引擎；商业服务会短期保存加密翻译结果以支持重复请求恢复，保存期限由服务端配置控制，并清理到期结果。账户、账务、安全和支持记录按提供服务、解决争议及履行法律义务所需期间保留。网站充值由网站另行说明交易金额与支付方式，iOS 首版没有 Apple 内购入口。
4. AI 服务接收方及内容
仅在你明确允许 AI 数据处理并启用相应功能后，以下内容会用于云端处理：
• 字节跳动火山引擎：消息翻译文字；开启实时同传后的双方语音。文字由变色龙商业服务转发，同传按授权的语音服务链路传输。
• MiniMax：合成语音所需的文字；创建专属音色时的录音样本、音色标识及所需账户授权信息。录音会从设备上传给音色服务，创建音色并非本机离线处理。
WhatsApp 消息及普通通话通过手机直接连接 WhatsApp；这条通信链路与 AI 翻译处理分开。运营者与上述服务可能在中国等美国以外地区处理相关数据。第三方处理还适用其服务条款、隐私政策及与运营者的适用合同。我们要求服务提供方保护受托数据，不授权其将内容用于与所请求服务无关的用途。本政策不承诺所有供应商零留存或零训练；相关限制须以适用产品合同为准。
5. 授权和控制
登录注册页仅提供一个默认未勾选的协议与隐私政策同意选项。勾选后才能获取或重新获取验证码；勾选表示同意本政策（包括第 4 节 AI 数据处理），登录并验证账户后可使用相关功能，无需另行勾选 AI 选项或接受登录后的弹框。不勾选不能继续登录注册。功能仍受系统权限、服务可用性及积分等正常使用条件限制。你可以在“设置 → AI 数据授权”随时撤回；撤回停止新的 AI 请求和当前同传，已经发送的请求可能完成。撤回不会自动删除以前上传的数据。创建音色还要求你确认录音属于本人或已获得录音者明确授权。启用同传前，请告知通话参与者，并取得适用法律要求的许可。
6. 系统权限与数据保护
麦克风用于录音、通话和音色样本；相机用于视频通话；相册选择用于发送你选择的照片和视频；通知权限用于系统允许范围内的提醒。你可以在 iOS 设置管理这些权限。拒绝无关权限不会阻止其他可用功能。网络服务使用加密传输，设备使用系统私有存储及钥匙串。我们不在本客户端集成广告或跨应用广告跟踪。
7. 查询、更正、删除与投诉
你可以通过 WhatsApp 关联管理解除所选设备授权；这不会自动删除变色龙商业账户。要查询、更正或请求删除账户、已上传样本、专属音色或其他服务端个人数据，请联系 contact@hanjun.pro，说明请求种类和账户手机号。不要发送验证码、密码或会话密钥。我们可能核验身份，并按适用法律处理请求；为账务、争议或法律义务需要保留的记录会限制用途。删除共享商业账户可能影响其他变色龙客户端和剩余积分，处理前会说明影响。当前 iOS 版本的“设置 → 账户管理 → 删除账户”会先说明范围并进行两次确认，执行解除当前所选 WhatsApp 关联、核实结果后退出变色龙登录。解除会清理该槽位本机聊天和媒体；其他槽位不解除。变色龙服务端账户、积分和其他客户端仍保留，不会提交账户删除申请。你可通过卸载 App 移除应用私有目录内的本机数据；这不会自动删除服务端账户、供应商数据或全部系统钥匙串记录。
8. 联系及更新
联系 contact@hanjun.pro 处理隐私或支持请求。数据接收方或处理用途发生实质变化时，将更新说明并在需要时重新征得授权。
