Voicr has no account system and no application backend. We do not receive your audio, transcripts, notes, history, snippets, rules, corrections, or prompts. Only if you choose a cloud AI provider does the relevant text go directly from your Mac to that provider, using your own API key or credentials. Audio is never sent.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Voicr, operated by Aleksandr Shelestov PR JustOneDev ("we", "our", or "us"), handles information when you use the Voicr macOS application (the "App"), visit voicr.pro (the "Website"), or contact us for support.
This policy applies to Voicr Desktop 3.0 and later versions that use the same local-first architecture.
2. Who We Are
We are the data controller for the limited Website and support information described below. We are not able to access content that remains only in the App on your Mac.
3. What Stays on Your Mac
Speech is transcribed on your Mac using a locally installed Whisper model or Apple's on-device Speech engine. Your microphone audio is not uploaded to us or to a cloud AI provider.
Recordings, transcripts, notes, history, snippets, writing rules, corrections, preferences, and search data are stored locally on your Mac. We do not receive a copy and cannot view, recover, or delete this content for you.
If you configure an AI engine, its API key or credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain. They are not sent to Voicr or JustOneDev.
4. When Text Can Leave Your Mac
AI rewriting is optional. Apple Intelligence and Ollama process text locally. You can also use Voicr without any AI engine, in which case the App inserts the raw on-device transcript.
If you deliberately configure and select a cloud AI provider, the App sends the text needed for the requested rewrite, together with your instruction, directly to that provider. The request uses the API key, credentials, endpoint, and settings you supply. It is not routed through a Voicr server, and we do not receive a copy.
The cloud provider's terms, privacy policy, retention practices, security, location, and charges apply to that processing. Review them before sending personal, confidential, or regulated information. You can stop future cloud processing by switching to a local engine, removing the provider, or using Voicr without AI.
5. Other App Network Connections
The App does not send your content to us. It makes only these product-related connections on its own:
- A daily request for a static version file to check whether an update is available.
- A speech-model download when you explicitly choose to download that model.
Those services may receive ordinary technical request data, such as an IP address, user agent, requested file, and timestamp, as required to deliver and secure the file. These requests do not contain your audio, transcript, notes, or other App content.
6. Website and Support Data
The Website has no registration, account, payment, or authentication flow. It uses Plausible Analytics for cookie-free aggregate traffic measurement and Google Fonts to deliver its typography. Our Website hosting and content-delivery providers, Plausible, and Google may process ordinary technical request data such as an IP address, browser type, requested page or file, referrer, and timestamp to deliver and protect the Website and understand aggregate usage.
If you email us, we receive the address, message, attachments, and any other information you choose to provide. We use it to respond to your request and maintain support records. Please do not send App content unless it is necessary and you are comfortable sharing it.
We use this limited information for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and supporting the Website and App, and where necessary to take steps you request or comply with law. We do not sell personal data, build advertising profiles, or use it for behavioural advertising.
7. Retention, Security, and Transfers
App content remains on your Mac until you remove it using the App or macOS. Website logs, aggregate analytics, and support correspondence are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for delivery, security, support, record-keeping, and legal obligations.
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards. You are responsible for protecting your Mac, macOS account, Keychain, local backups, and any third-party credentials you configure.
Website service providers and any cloud AI provider you choose may process data in other countries. Their documentation explains where they process data and which transfer safeguards they use.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, port, or object to our processing of personal data. Most App content must be managed directly on your Mac because we never receive it.
To exercise a right concerning Website or support information, email [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority where you live.
9. Children
Voicr is not directed to children below the minimum age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect children's App content because the App has no content backend.
10. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy when the App, Website, or applicable requirements change. We will revise the date above and may provide an in-app or release-note notice for material changes.
Questions about privacy can be sent to [email protected].
