Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 14, 2026

1. Overview

Voice Decoder ("the App") is a native macOS application for real-time voice-to-text transcription. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your data.

2. Data We Collect

We do not collect any personal data. The App:

• Does not record, store, or transmit your audio
• Does not store or transmit your transcriptions
• Does not include analytics, tracking, or telemetry
• Does not make any network requests

3. Local Processing

All speech recognition is performed entirely on your Mac using the whisper.cpp engine. Audio from your microphone is processed in real-time in memory and is never written to disk or sent over the network.

4. Permissions

The App requires the following macOS permissions:

• Microphone — to capture your voice for real-time transcription
• Accessibility — to insert transcribed text at your cursor position and register global hotkeys

These permissions are used solely for the App's core functionality. No data obtained through these permissions is collected or shared.

5. Data Storage

The App stores only its settings and downloaded AI models locally in ~/Library/Application Support/VoiceDecoder/. No user-generated content (audio, transcriptions) is stored.

6. Third-Party Services

Voice Decoder does not use any third-party services, SDKs, or APIs. The App works 100% offline.

7. Website

This website (voicedecoder.redorcdron.space) is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type). We do not use cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts on this website.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
