Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 6, 2025

Overview

Dictator ("the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our offline dictation application for macOS.

The simple version: Dictator is a completely offline app. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

Data Collection

Dictator does not collect any personal information. The app operates entirely offline and does not require:

  • User accounts or registration
  • Email addresses
  • Names or other personal identifiers
  • Location data
  • Device identifiers
  • Any form of personal information

Audio Processing

All audio processing occurs locally on your device:

  • Audio is processed entirely on your Mac
  • No audio data is transmitted to any servers
  • No cloud processing is used
  • Audio recordings are not stored after processing

Data Storage

Dictator stores minimal data on your device:

  • The app stores only the 100 most recent transcriptions
  • Transcriptions are stored locally on your device
  • No audio recordings are retained
  • All data remains on your device and under your control
  • You can delete transcriptions at any time through the app

Third-Party Services

Dictator does not use any third-party services:

  • No analytics or tracking services
  • No crash reporting services
  • No advertising networks
  • No social media integrations
  • No external APIs or web services

Data Sharing

We do not share any data because we don't collect any data. Your transcriptions and any other information remain entirely on your device.

Internet Connection

Dictator works completely offline. The app does not require an internet connection to function and never attempts to connect to any servers.

Children's Privacy

Dictator does not collect information from anyone, including children. The app can be safely used by individuals of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Since the app doesn't collect data or connect to the internet, we recommend checking this page periodically if you have concerns.
