This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and handle your information when you use our audio transcription web application ("the App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal data to ensure our utility app operates effectively:
- Audio Files & Text Data: Any audio recordings or files you upload are processed strictly in transit to deliver your transcription text, and are never stored on our external servers. For your convenience, your generated text logs are saved locally on your own device via your browser's secure localStorage layout under your "My Notes" dashboard. This data remains entirely under your personal control and never crosses the internet to our systems.
- Log Data: Like most web utilities, our servers automatically collect standard web browser log information, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit.
2. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics
We partner with third-party advertising networks, exchanges, and ad servers to serve advertisements when you visit our App. These companies may collect and use anonymized, non-personally identifiable information (such as your IP address, browser type, time and date of visits, and the subject of advertisements clicked) during your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you.
- Cookies and Web Beacons: These third-party ad networks dynamically employ tracking technologies like cookies, JavaScript, and web beacons to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize ad content.
- Data Processing Rules: We do not have access to or control over the tracking technologies or data collection practices utilized by these third-party advertisers. Each provider processes user data strictly under their own independent corporate privacy policies.
3. Your Privacy Choices, Opt-Out, & Ad Blocker Usage
You can manage your privacy choices and opt out of targeted tracking at any time:
- Our Policy on Ad Blockers: While we respect user autonomy and privacy preferences, this tool is entirely funded by advertising networks and user contributions. Running ad-blocking software directly limits our ability to pay for background transcription servers. We prefer if you do not block ads while utilizing our application layout.
- Browser Controls: You can configure your internet browser settings to refuse all cookies or to flag whenever a new cookie is being sent to your computer. Note that disabling cookies may cause some features of this utility app to function incorrectly.
- Network Opt-Outs: You can opt out of targeted digital interest-based advertising from participating ad networks globally by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Tool or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Platform.
4. Data Security
The security of your data is critically important to us. We employ standard operational and technical protocols to protect your files during transit and processing. However, please remember that no method of digital transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by publishing the updated Privacy Policy directly on this page and revising the "Last Updated" date at the top.
