Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how TranscribeX handles your data and protects your information.
1. Data Processing
- All transcription and translation tasks can be performed locally on your Mac, ensuring that your audio, video, and text files remain private.
- Data is not automatically sent to our servers or third parties without your explicit consent.
- If you choose to connect to external services (e.g., OpenAI, DeepL) for AI features, your data will be sent to those services only for processing and is subject to their privacy policies.
2. Collection of Personal Information
- We do not collect personal information from your files or transcripts when processing locally.
- When using optional Pro features, such as AI chat or summarization, we may process account information and payment details to manage subscriptions.
3. Use of Information
- Your data is used solely to provide the app’s services and enhance user experience.
- Optional usage of cloud-based AI services is only for transcription, translation, or summarization processing as explicitly requested by you.
4. Audio Capture & Screen Recording Permission
- TranscribeX may request screen recording permission only to enable system audio capture from other macOS applications (for example, to record sound from Zoom, YouTube, or other apps for transcription).
- This permission is required by macOS to access system audio; TranscribeX does not record, view, or store any visual screen content.
- Captured audio is used solely for transcription and translation purposes within the app.
- All recordings and transcripts are processed locally on your Mac and are never uploaded or shared unless you explicitly export or share them.
5. Data Sharing
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties.
- Data shared with third-party AI services is only used for processing and not stored permanently by us.
6. Security
- TranscribeX uses local processing wherever possible to minimize the risk of data leaks.
- We follow industry-standard security practices to protect any account information or optional cloud data.
7. Cookies and Analytics
- The App does not use tracking cookies or collect analytics data by default.
- If you opt in for optional telemetry or feedback, any data collected will be anonymous and used only to improve the app.
8. Data Storage & Retention
- All audio recordings, transcripts, and related files are stored locally on your device in the app’s sandbox.
- You may delete any stored recordings or transcripts at any time.
- TranscribeX does not retain copies of your data on external servers.
9. User Rights
- You may request the deletion of any personal data associated with your account by contacting us.
- You have the right to access, correct, or restrict processing of your personal information.
10. Changes to This Policy
- We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted in the App or on our website, and continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of any updates.
