11. OpticAg Scribe Mobile App

The OpticAg Scribe iOS app ("Scribe") is a companion to the OpticAg platform that lets authenticated users dictate field notes. This section describes data practices specific to the app.

11.1 What the App Collects on Your Device

• Audio recordings of notes you dictate, captured via the device microphone after you grant permission. Recordings are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to OpticAg or any third party. You can delete recordings from the app at any time.
• Transcriptsof your dictation, generated on-device by Apple's Speech framework (SFSpeechRecognizer).
• Entity suggestions(matching your dictation to your own farm, field, or asset names) generated on-device by Apple's FoundationModels framework (Apple Intelligence) on supported devices. This feature is skipped on devices that do not support it.

11.2 What Leaves Your Device

• The text transcript of your note, along with any farm/field/asset associations you confirm, is synced to your private OpticAg account in our backend database. Access is restricted to you via row-level security tied to your authenticated session.
• No audio is sent off the device.

11.3 Third-Party AI Services

The Scribe app does not send your voice recordings, transcripts, or any other personal data to any third-party AI service. It does not integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, or any other external AI provider. All speech recognition and AI inference performed by the app run on-device using Apple frameworks.

11.4 Permissions

The app requests Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions via standard iOS prompts before recording or transcribing. The features that depend on these permissions will not function unless you grant them.

11.5 Sub-processors

Note text and associated metadata you create are stored in our backend, which is operated using the following sub-processors under data processing agreements that require protections equivalent to those described in this policy:

• Supabase— database, authentication, and storage for your OpticAg account and note data.
• Vercel— hosting and delivery of the OpticAg web platform and marketing website.

11.6 No In-App Purchases

The Scribe app contains no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or paid feature unlocks. Access requires an existing OpticAg account, which is provisioned through your farm operation's OpticAg agreement.
