2.2 Information Processed by Third-Party Services

To provide AI coaching and voice features, certain data is processed by third-party services:

• Voice Input: When you use voice features, audio is sent to Google Cloud Speech-to-Text for transcription. Audio is processed in real-time and is not stored by Google.
