Privacy Policy

Introduction

At DictaType, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our software and visit our website.

How DictaType Handles Your Data

DictaType is designed with privacy in mind. Here's exactly how your data flows:

• Your audio goes directly to OpenAI - When you dictate, your audio is sent straight from your device to OpenAI's Whisper API. We never see, intercept, or store your audio.
• You control the OpenAI connection - You use your own OpenAI API key. The relationship is between you and OpenAI, not through us.
• Transcriptions stay on your device - The transcribed text is returned directly to your computer. We have no access to it.

What we do store

The only data we store on our servers relates to licensing:

• License keys and their validation status
• License activation records (to prevent abuse)
• Auto-update license verification

OpenAI's data handling

Since your audio is processed by OpenAI, their privacy practices apply to that data. We encourage you to review OpenAI's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle API data. Note that OpenAI's API data handling differs from their consumer products - API data is generally not used to train their models.
