Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how AI Transcribe (listed on the App Store as Transcribe: Speech to Text, AI, referred to below as "the App") handles your information. The App is published by Snowpex ("we", "us").
In short: the App has no accounts and no ads. Your recordings and transcripts are stored only on your device. To transcribe, the audio you choose is sent over an encrypted connection to a speech-recognition service and the resulting summary is sent to an AI service to generate a short title. We do not run servers that store your content.
1. Information the App Handles
1.1 Content you provide
- Audio recordings you make with the App using the microphone.
- Audio and video files you import from your device, the Files app or your photo library. When you import a video, the App extracts its audio track for transcription.
- Transcripts, summaries and titles produced from that audio.
1.2 Information we do not collect
- We do not ask for or store your name, email address, phone number or any account credentials. The App has no sign-in.
- We do not use advertising networks or advertising identifiers (IDFA).
- We do not use third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. Apple may share aggregated crash and usage statistics with us only if you have enabled Share with App Developers in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
- We do not collect biometric data or voiceprints. Audio is used only to produce text.
1.3 Purchase information
Subscriptions are sold through Apple In-App Purchase and managed with RevenueCat. Apple processes your payment; we never see your card details. RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated app-user identifier and the App Store receipt so it can confirm your subscription status and restore purchases on your devices.
2. How Transcription Works (Third-Party Processing)
The App does not transcribe on the device. When you start a transcription:
- The audio you selected is uploaded over HTTPS to Speechmatics, a speech-recognition provider, which converts the speech to text and produces a summary of the recording.
- The summary text (not the audio) is sent over HTTPS to OpenAI to generate a short title for the transcript.
- The transcript, summary and title are returned to the App and saved on your device.
2.1 Data minimization
Only the audio needed for the transcription, and the summary needed for the title, are sent. We do not attach your name, email, contacts, location or persistent device identifiers to these requests.
2.2 Retention by providers
We use these providers only to process your request. They handle the data under their own privacy policies and may retain it for a limited time for processing, abuse prevention or as required by law. We do not permit them to use your content to train their models under the API terms we use, but we encourage you to read their policies, linked in Section 4.
Because transcription happens off-device, do not transcribe audio that you are not permitted to share with a third-party processor (for example, material under a confidentiality agreement) unless you have the necessary rights.
3. Where Your Data Is Stored
- Recordings, imported audio, transcripts, summaries and titles are stored only on your device, in the App's private storage.
- We do not operate any server or cloud database that stores your recordings or transcripts.
- If you use iCloud Backup or an encrypted iTunes/Finder backup, the App's data may be included in that backup under Apple's terms.
- You can delete any recording or transcript inside the App. Deleting the App removes all of its local data.

5. Device Permissions
- Microphone – required to record audio inside the App. You can revoke it at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.
- Files and Photos – used only when you choose to import an audio or video file. The App accesses only the items you pick.
6. Security
All network traffic between the App and the services above is encrypted with HTTPS/TLS. Local data is protected by iOS data protection and your device passcode. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Choices and Rights
- Access and deletion: because your content lives on your device, you can view, export or delete it directly in the App at any time.
- Subscriptions: manage or cancel in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. See our Support page.
- Regional rights: if you live in the EU/EEA, the UK, California or another region with data-protection laws, you may have additional rights (for example to request information about processing). Contact us using the details below and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
8. Recording Other People
You are responsible for complying with recording and consent laws where you are. In many places you must obtain the consent of everyone being recorded before you record or transcribe a conversation.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version. Material changes will be reflected in the App or on this page. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
