1. Our Commitment to Privacy

privisay is designed with privacy as its foundation. Unlike cloud-based speech-to-text services, privisay processes all audio locally on your Mac. Your voice data never leaves your device.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

privisay does not collect, transmit, or store:

Audio recordings or voice data
Transcribed text content
Usage analytics or telemetry
Personal information
Device identifiers

The application makes zero network requests during normal operation. After the initial download, privisay works entirely offline.

3. Local Processing

All speech recognition is performed on-device using WhisperKit, which runs OpenAI's Whisper model locally on your Mac's Apple Neural Engine. Audio is captured in-memory, processed immediately, and discarded after transcription. No audio files are written to disk.

4. Third-Party Services

privisay uses the following third-party services:

WhisperKit (by Argmax) - Provides the on-device transcription engine. WhisperKit runs entirely locally and does not transmit any data.
HuggingFace - Hosts the Whisper AI model files. A one-time download (39-466MB depending on model size) occurs during initial setup. After this, no network connection is required.

Neither WhisperKit nor HuggingFace receives your audio or transcriptions.

5. Website Data

When you visit our website (privisay.com), we may collect standard web analytics data such as page views and referral sources. This data is anonymized and used solely to improve our website. The website does not access or interact with the privisay application on your Mac.

6. Purchase Data

When you purchase privisay, your payment is processed by our payment provider. We receive only the information necessary to fulfill your order (email address for license delivery). We do not store credit card information.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
