Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
TL;DR: Your audio never leaves your computer. We only collect what's necessary to provide licenses and improve the app. No tracking, no data selling.
Introduction
At Whisper Dictator ("we", "our", or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our desktop application.
Whisper Dictator is designed with privacy as a core principle. The application processes all audio locally on your device using the Whisper AI model - no audio data is ever transmitted to our servers or any third party.
Information We Collect
Audio Data

When you purchase a license, we collect:
- Email address (for license delivery and support)
