Telegram Premium: Durov denies "We do not share data with Google"

Yesterday we talked about a possible data breach by Premium Telegram, the paid service just released globally. Specifically, we were referring to functionality voice-to-text which allows you to transpose a sent audio into written text. According to some users, this instant translation would happen with a privacy violation: the translation takes place in fact thanks to Google which, as is well known, collects the data. But is it really so?

Does Telegram Premium share voice data with Google? It is thought so, but Pavel Durov denies the rumors. Only quality services thanks to Big G

The founder of Telegram has expressed himself in this regard, disavowing all the criticisms of the last hours. The founder of the Russian messenger has already commented on the situation: according to him, users should not worry about the leak of confidential information. Telegram does not share with Google i data collected personal data of users, such as names, telephone numbers, IP addresses. Furthermore, it never sends any data to third parties automatically, without explicit request from users.

The decision to use Google's paid technology allows to maximize the quality of the transcription, but does not compromise data security, because, according to the agreement between Telegram and Google, Google cannot do anything with this anonymous audio data, except to generate text versions based on them and return them (in particular, the company cannot use them for any of its other services or for advertising).

durov writes on his blog:

Telegram does not share users' personal data, such as names, telephone numbers, IP addresses, with Google. Furthermore, Telegram never sends data to third parties automatically, without an explicit request from users

Durov also added that i terms of operation of the "controversial" feature are made explicit in the user agreement: whether or not Telegram Premium subscribers can trust Google's guarantees when sending voicemails for decryption, they have to decide for themselves.
