Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO) Access Policy
The application requests microphone access (android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) solely to capture voice recordings for multilingual speech-to-text dictation notes (supporting English, Hindi, and Gujarati).
Privacy Guarantee:
Voice dictations are processed locally on your physical hardware using native C++ transcription models. No spoken audio fragments, transcription logs, or text outputs are recorded or shared by Care Stream.
keyboard
Input Method Editor (IME) Policy
The application functions as a system-wide custom keyboard Input Method Editor (IME) via VoiceKeyboardService to inject transcribed dictations and text edits directly into target inputs.
IME Privacy Guarantee:
The IME service processes keystrokes and dictate inputs strictly locally. It does not monitor, log, save, or upload typed texts, clipboard history contents, passwords, or personal credentials.

Support Development & Diagnostic Logging Policy
Users may optionally enable diagnostic logging under the "Support Development" settings menu to assist in troubleshooting app behavior and crash reports.
Privacy Guarantee:
All diagnostic log entries and crash traces are stored strictly on your device's internal storage sandbox. Care Stream does not automatically collect, upload, or transmit diagnostic logs to any remote server. Diagnostic files are only exported if you choose to manually save them to your device's Downloads directory or share them with support.

Internet Permission Fallback Disclosures
While the application requests the android.permission.INTERNET permission in its manifest, this is strictly utilized as a compatibility configuration for fallback system-level speech engines (such as default OS speech recognizers) if local dictionary models are unavailable. Care Stream does not collect, record, transmit, or stream your raw voice audio, spoken dictations, or transcribed text outputs over the internet.
