Privacy Policy

Transcribe Plus ("we," "our," or "us") is a voice transcription app. The app asks for your permission before sending your audio or text to our servers and to OpenAI for processing. This policy explains what is collected, how it is used, and which third parties receive it.

Your library (transcripts, summaries, folders, titles, tags) is stored on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, that content syncs across your Apple devices via Apple—we do not host your library as a cloud backup you can log into on the web.

When you use transcription or AI features, you choose to send content to our service (hosted infrastructure we operate). Our service forwards audio and text to OpenAI for transcription and for features such as summaries, action items, translation, and regenerating insights from edited transcripts. Processing happens over encrypted connections. We do not use your content to train public AI models. Audio is not kept after transcription completes; see retention below.

• Audio — When you transcribe, audio is sent to our servers for processing and is deleted immediately after. We do not keep it.
• Transcripts and metadata — All transcripts, summaries, action items, titles, tags, and folders are stored only on your device. With iCloud enabled, they sync across your own devices via Apple. We do not have access to any of this data.
• Purchases — If you buy transcription minutes, we receive transaction data from Apple. We may collect anonymized usage statistics (e.g., error rates) to improve the app.

• To transcribe your audio and return transcripts, summaries, and action items
• To provide and improve the app (e.g., fixing bugs, adding features)
• To process purchases and manage transcription minute balances
• To comply with legal obligations when required

We use OpenAI's Whisper and GPT models for transcription and summarization. Audio and text are sent to OpenAI under their data processing terms. We do not use your content to train AI models. For more on OpenAI's practices, see their privacy policy.

Large uploads. For bigger audio files, the app may upload to secure, temporary cloud storage operated by Vercel (a standard hosting provider) so the transfer completes reliably—similar to a short holding area before our servers pick up the file. Only our service can access it using a time-limited token; it is not your long-term storage. Smaller files are sent straight to our backend and skip this step.

We do not keep audio files after transcription is complete. Transcripts and metadata live on your device (and in your iCloud if enabled). You can export all your data or delete it at any time from Settings → Data & Privacy in the app.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your data. Use the Data & Privacy section in the app to export or delete. For other requests, contact us at privacy@transcribeplus.app.

The app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you learn a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version here and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
