Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 18, 2026

What we collect

We collect the minimum necessary to operate the service:

• IP address — used only to enforce the free daily usage limit. Not stored beyond 24 hours per usage record.
• Email address (optional) — if provided at checkout, we store it alongside your license key so you can recover it later.
• Stripe payment data — payment details are handled entirely by Stripe. We never see your card number.
• Session events — we may record anonymised UI interaction events (via rrweb) for product improvement. No personally identifiable information is extracted.

Audio files

Audio files you upload are processed in memory and written to a temporary file on disk only for the duration of the API call. The temporary file is deleted immediately after transcription completes. We do not store, log, or analyse the content of your audio.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's localStorage to remember your license key so you don't have to re-enter it. We do not use tracking cookies.

Third-party services

• xAI — audio and text are transmitted to xAI's API for processing. See xAI's privacy policy.
• Stripe — payment processing. See Stripe's privacy policy.

Data retention

License key records are retained for billing and support purposes. Free usage records (IP + date + count) are retained for 30 days and then purged. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us.
