Audio Scribe: Private STT ("the app") converts audio files you choose into text on your device. The app does not send your audio or transcripts to the developer or to any third-party server.

Information we do not collect: audio files, transcripts, speaker names, clips or exported files; names, email addresses, phone numbers or other identifiers (there is no account); location, contacts or advertising ID; usage analytics.

Information processed and stored only on your device: the location (URI) of the audio you pick (the audio itself is not copied), transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels, your settings, the speech models, and temporary clip/export files. App data is excluded from cloud backup and device transfer.

Network use: the internet is used only to download speech model files the first time a quality mode or speaker detection is used, from Hugging Face (huggingface.co) and GitHub (github.com). As with any download, these services may receive technical information such as your IP address under their own privacy policies. No audio or text is included. After download, transcription works offline.

Permissions: music & audio access (to list audio files in the app; if denied, the system file picker is used), notifications (progress), foreground service and wake lock (to keep transcribing in the background), internet and network state (model downloads).

Third-party SDKs: no ads, no analytics. Firebase Crashlytics is included but is not configured in this version, so it is inactive and sends no data. If it is enabled in the future, this policy and the Google Play Data safety form will be updated first. On-device libraries (whisper.cpp, sherpa-onnx, AndroidX/Media3) do not communicate over the network.

Retention and deletion: transcripts stay on your device until you delete them in the app or uninstall the app. Deleting a transcript never changes the original audio file. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage removes all app data and models. The developer holds no user data, so there is nothing to request deletion of.

Children: the app is not directed to children and does not collect children's personal information.

Changes: updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
