In short
- Translation happens on your phone.
- Your voice, voice notes and typing are never saved or uploaded.
- No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
- The only download is the Twi model, when you tap Download Twi.
What the app does with your data
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Your voice (keyboard mic, “Speak Twi”) | Recorded into the phone’s memory only while you are speaking, translated on the phone, then discarded. Never saved to a file, never uploaded. |
| Voice notes you share to JusRunAm | Read into memory, translated on the phone, and discarded when you close the sheet. The file and its link are not kept. Often this is someone else’s voice, so it is never used for anything else. |
| The English translation and your corrections | Shown to you and inserted where you choose. Not stored, not uploaded. The keyboard does not keep a history. |
| What you type with the keyboard (punctuation, space, fixes) | Passed to the app you are typing in, as any keyboard does. Not stored, not logged, not uploaded. |
| Password fields | The mic is off. |
Network
The app connects to the internet for one thing: downloading the translation model (about 135 MB) from Hugging Face, after you tap Download Twi. Like any download, that request reaches Hugging Face’s servers, which see your IP address; it carries nothing else about you. Translation itself works offline.
No accounts, no ads, no tracking
JusRunAm has no sign-in, shows no ads, and contains no analytics or advertising SDKs. The app sends no usage data. Crash and performance reports reach the developer only through Google Play’s standard Android vitals, under Google’s own privacy policy, if you have allowed your phone to share them.
Because JusRunAm collects no personal data, there is nothing to sell, share with third parties or delete on request. Uninstalling the app removes the downloaded model and everything else it put on your phone.
Android’s keyboard warning
When you turn on any third-party keyboard, Android warns that it “may be able to collect all the text you type”. JusRunAm collects nothing. It listens only after you tap the mic, and it translates on the phone.
Permissions
- Microphone: only for “Speak Twi” and the keyboard mic, asked when you first use it.
- Internet: only for the model download.
Children
JusRunAm is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.
Later versions
Learning from corrections (federated training) and donating voice clips will arrive in later versions. Each will be off unless you turn it on, with its own consent screen, and this page will say exactly what is kept, for how long and where it goes, under Ghana’s Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), before that version ships.
Model and data credits
Translation uses the Nebula model nebula-st-twi-en (AdwumaTech AI, CC BY 4.0). It is built from openai/whisper-small (MIT), the Financial Inclusion Speech Dataset (Asamoah Owusu et al., 2022; CC BY 4.0) and MGhana-ST translations (Acquaye et al., 2025; CC BY 4.0).
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date, and changes that affect what is collected will be shown in the app before they take effect.
