Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 7, 2026
At WhisperOne, we believe that your thoughts and your voice belong only to you. Our privacy philosophy is simple: What happens on your device, stays on your device.
1. Local-First AI Processing
All voice-to-text processing is performed locally on your hardware using our Rust-engineered neural engine. We do not use cloud-based APIs for transcription.
We do not record, store, or transmit your audio files or transcribed text to any external servers. Your voice data exists only as a transient signal during the transcription process.
We do not use your voice or text to train our AI models. Our models are pre-trained and fixed; they do not "learn" from your private data.
2. Data Collection and Usage
We do not collect anonymous error reports, usage statistics, or behavioral data automatically. We have no way of knowing how often you use the application or which apps you dictate into.
If you encounter an issue, you may choose to manually generate an error report. These technical logs are strictly anonymized. All Personally Identifiable Information (PII), including your system usernames, local file paths, and private directories, are automatically stripped from the logs before they are generated.
Payments are handled securely by Paddle. WhisperOne does not store or have access to your credit card or billing information. Paddle provides us with the necessary transaction details to provide support and manage your license.
3. Licensing and Activation
To activate and validate your WhisperOne license, we process a limited set of technical data necessary for licensing system operation and fraud prevention.
This data includes: your license key, a unique device identifier (hardware hash), platform/OS type, application version, and activation timestamps. Technical network data, such as your IP address, is used temporarily for anti-abuse and rate limiting purposes during the activation request.
We use this data exclusively for license validation, device limit enforcement, and technical support. The licensing system is entirely separate from the transcription engine; we do not store or transmit audio recordings or transcripts to our licensing servers.
4. Data Retention
We retain licensing data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and ensure security:
- →License Records: Retained while your license remains active in our system.
- →Technical Logs: Anti-abuse and server logs are automatically deleted or anonymized within 7 to 30 days.
- →Database Backups: Rotated and purged every 30 to 90 days.
5. Compliance & Contact
WhisperOne is built to be inherently compliant with GDPR (EU) and CCPA (USA) because we do not process personal data on our servers. Your data sovereignty is built into the architecture.
