Last Updated: April 1, 2026

GigaDuck OÜ Tallinn, Estonia

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the GigaDuck application (“App”) provided by GigaDuck OÜ (“we,” “us,” “our”), a company incorporated under Estonian law.

By downloading, installing, or using GigaDuck, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms supplement Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). Where these Terms conflict with Apple’s EULA, Apple’s EULA prevails to the extent required by Apple’s policies.

2. Service Description

GigaDuck is an AI-powered voice transcription, translation, and personal memory service. You record audio, and the App sends it to third-party AI providers for processing. The AI transcribes your speech and formats the resulting text based on the context of your active application. The formatted text is returned to you and copied to your clipboard. When triggered from your home or lock screen, the App enters Memory mode — extracting and storing personal facts from your speech for later retrieval.

What GigaDuck does:

Transcribes speech to text using AI speech recognition models
Formats text to match the context of your active application (email, chat, notes, etc.)
Translates speech into a target language when translation mode is enabled
Stores personal facts you dictate for later retrieval using the Memory feature
Answers questions about your stored memories using AI

What GigaDuck does not do:

Store your audio recordings (processed in memory and immediately discarded)
Store your transcribed text from Transcription or Translation mode (returned to you and not retained). Note: Memory mode extracts and stores personal facts from your speech — see our Privacy Policy for details.
Create a user account (you are identified by an anonymous device-generated ID)

3. AI-Powered Service — Transparency Disclosure

GigaDuck uses artificial intelligence throughout its core functionality. In compliance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), we disclose the following:

AI systems used:

Speech-to-text transcription powered by third-party AI models (currently Mistral AI)
Text formatting, grammar correction, and translation powered by third-party large language models (currently via Groq)
Personal fact extraction and question answering powered by third-party large language models (currently via Groq, used in Memory feature)
Semantic embedding generation powered by Google’s Gemini API (used in Memory feature for meaning-based search)

Limitations of AI:

Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, accent, and language
AI formatting may occasionally produce unexpected results, misinterpret context, or introduce errors
Translation quality varies by language pair and subject matter
Memory extraction may occasionally misidentify facts, assign incorrect dates, or miss information from your speech
Stored memories reflect the AI’s interpretation of your speech and should be reviewed for accuracy
AI output should be reviewed before use, especially for professional, legal, medical, or financial communications

You are responsible for reviewing and verifying AI-generated output before using it. GigaDuck OÜ does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any transcription, formatting, or translation produced by the App.

If you publish GigaDuck output for the purpose of informing the public on matters of public interest, you may have a legal obligation under EU AI Act Article 50(4) to disclose that the text was AI-generated or AI-manipulated.

4. Eligibility

In Memory mode, personal facts extracted from your speech are stored on our servers so you can retrieve them later. You can view, delete individual memories, or delete all your data at any time.

8. Privacy

In Transcription and Translation modes, no user content is stored
When using the Memory feature, extracted personal facts are stored in our EU database until you delete them
No account or personal information is required
Your data is identified only by an anonymous device-generated transaction ID
Our database is hosted in the EU (Ireland)

9. Third-Party Services

GigaDuck relies on third-party services to function:

Mistral AI — Primary speech-to-text transcription (Paris, France)

Google (Gemini API) — Semantic embedding generation for Memory search (Mountain View, USA)

These services have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party providers, although we select providers that meet our privacy and security standards and have appropriate data processing agreements in place.

Service availability depends on these third-party providers. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

10. Service Availability and Modifications

Availability

GigaDuck is provided “as available.” We aim for reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The App requires an internet connection to function.

Modifications

We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the App at any time. Material changes to functionality will be communicated through App Store release notes or in-app notifications.

Discontinuation

If we discontinue the service entirely, we will provide reasonable notice (minimum 30 days) and cease billing for any active subscriptions.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

GigaDuck is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
GigaDuck OÜ shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App
GigaDuck OÜ’s total liability shall not exceed the amount you have paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim
We are not liable for errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in AI-generated transcriptions, formatting, or translations
We are not liable for any consequences arising from your reliance on AI-generated output without independent verification

These limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by Estonian law and the law of your jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GigaDuck OÜ from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without regard to conflict of law principles.

EU Consumers

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you additionally benefit from mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights.

You may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Jurisdiction

Any disputes that cannot be resolved amicably shall be settled by the courts of Tallinn, Estonia, unless mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by:

Updating the “Last Updated” date
Posting notice in the App or through App Store release notes

Continued use of GigaDuck after changes constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you should stop using the App and cancel any active subscription.

15. Termination

By You

You may stop using GigaDuck at any time by deleting the App. If you have an active subscription, cancel it through your Apple ID account settings before deleting.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, abuse the service, or if we are required to do so by law. Where possible, we will provide notice before termination.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases. We do not store your audio recordings. If you have used the Memory feature, your stored memories remain on our servers until you delete them. You may delete all memories in-app before uninstalling, or request full data erasure (including memories, analytics, and your anonymous identifier) by contacting privacy@gigaduck.ai or using the “Delete My Data” option in Settings.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
