ScribeZero Privacy Policy

ScribeZero does not have accounts, does not ask who you are, and does not upload the files you work on. Audio recording, speech recognition, and transcript export all run on your device. Your recordings and transcripts are never uploaded and are stored only in the app’s private sandbox.

We do not collect personal information. ScribeZero contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, and no crash-reporting service that transmits your content or identifiers. We cannot see what you open, edit, record, or export.

• Microphone — To record the audio you ask the app to transcribe.
• Files and documents — To import an existing audio file you select.

Every permission is requested at the moment it is needed, and declining one only disables the specific feature that requires it.

• On first use, the app downloads a speech-recognition model (approximately 75 MB) from the Hugging Face content delivery network and stores it on your device. This download transfers no audio and no personal data; it is an ordinary file download. Once the model is stored, transcription runs entirely offline.
• Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. To unlock your one-time purchase across reinstalls and devices, receipt validation is performed by RevenueCat, Inc. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated app user identifier, your store receipt, and your country. It does not receive your name, email address, or any file you open in the app.

Files you create stay in the app’s private storage area on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes them. Because we never receive your content, there is nothing for us to retain or delete on your behalf.

ScribeZero is not directed to children under 13, and because it collects no personal information, it does not knowingly collect information from children.

Under the GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held about you. We hold no such data. For purchase records, contact Apple or Google, who are the merchants of record for your transaction.

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date before the change takes effect in a released version of the app.
