1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Voicr ("we", "our", or "us"), operated by Aleksandr Shelestov PR JustOneDev, collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Voicr macOS application ("the App").

We have designed Voicr with privacy as a core principle. The App requires no account, stores your recordings and notes locally on your device, and collects the minimum data necessary to operate the service.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at [email protected].

2. Who We Are (Data Controller)

For the purposes of the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data controller is:

3. What Data We Collect and Why

3.2 Data Sent to Our API

3.3 Data Processed by OpenAI

To power transcription and AI polishing, your audio and text are sent to OpenAI for processing using models including Whisper (transcription) and GPT-4o mini (polishing).

OpenAI may retain API inputs and outputs for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring purposes, after which they are deleted. OpenAI does not use API data to train its models by default.

You can review OpenAI's data handling practices here:

3.4 Data Handled by Apple

The App is distributed via the Mac App Store. If you purchase a subscription, payment is processed entirely by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment details.

Apple's privacy practices are governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

4. Data We Do Not Collect

We want to be explicit about what we do not do:

  • We do not require you to create an account
  • We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
  • We do not store your audio recordings
  • We do not store your transcribed or polished text on our servers
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or third parties for marketing
  • We do not use your data to train AI models
  • We do not track your behaviour across apps or websites

5. Data Transfers Outside the EEA / UK

Your audio and text are processed by OpenAI, whose infrastructure is based in the United States. This constitutes a transfer of personal data outside the EEA and UK.

This transfer is governed by OpenAI's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in accordance with GDPR Article 46. For more information, see OpenAI's Data Processing Addendum.

6. Data Retention

  • All data transmitted to OpenAI is encrypted in transit
  • Local data on your Mac is protected by macOS's built-in security model
  • We do not maintain databases containing your audio or transcription content

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights regarding any personal data we hold:

RightWhat it means
AccessRequest a copy of the data we hold about you
RectificationAsk us to correct inaccurate data
ErasureAsk us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
RestrictionAsk us to limit how we use your data
PortabilityReceive your data in a machine-readable format
ObjectionObject to processing based on legitimate interests
Withdraw consentWhere processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time

Because Voicr stores almost all data locally on your device, most of these rights can be exercised directly within the App by deleting your history, notes, and preferences.

For data held on our servers (device identifier, OS version), please contact us at [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In the EU, you can find your authority at edpb.europa.eu. In the UK, the relevant authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

9. Children's Privacy

Voicr is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain EEA countries). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data through the App, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take prompt action.

10. Mac App Store

The App is distributed through the Apple Mac App Store. Apple may collect certain diagnostic and usage data in accordance with your device settings and their own privacy policy. We do not control or have access to this data. Please review Apple's Privacy Policy for details.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. For significant changes, we will notify you via an in-app notice or the App Store update notes.

Your continued use of Voicr after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
