Privacy Policy

Overview

TypeWhisper is a local-first desktop app for macOS and Windows. By default, data is processed entirely on your device. If you explicitly configure a cloud or custom endpoint, the data needed for that request is sent to that provider.

Data Collection

TypeWhisper does not collect telemetry by default. Audio processing, transcription, and storage happen locally on your device by default. No audio or transcription data is sent to TypeWhisper-operated servers. If you opt into a cloud engine or configure a custom endpoint, data for that request is sent to the selected provider.

Local Storage

TypeWhisper stores the following data locally in your OS-specific app data directory (for example Application Support on macOS or AppData on Windows):

• Transcription history (text, timestamps, app context)
• User profiles and settings
• Downloaded AI models

This data is stored on your device by default and is not accessible to us. Optional cloud or custom endpoints only receive the request data you explicitly route to them.

Network Access

By default, TypeWhisper connects to the internet only to download AI models from Hugging Face. After models are downloaded, the app can function offline. If you enable a cloud engine or configure a custom endpoint, the app also connects to that selected service for processing.

Third-Party Services

TypeWhisper does not integrate with any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Law-Firm Security Review

For firm IT and privacy review, there is also a public checklist covering data flow, storage locations, and optional cloud building blocks .

Open Source

TypeWhisper is open source under the GPLv3 license. You can audit the entire source code on GitHub.
