Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines how DictaVibe, a product of 1804 AUDIO LLC ("we", "us", or "our"), collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our voice-to-text application ("DictaVibe") that transcribes all audio data locally on your device. By using DictaVibe, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and fulfilling our obligations under applicable privacy regulations.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies only to DictaVibe. It does not cover any third-party applications, websites, or services that may be linked to, integrated with, or otherwise accessed through DictaVibe. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services before providing your personal information to them.

Information We Collect

Local Processing: DictaVibe is designed to process audio data locally on your device. We do not collect, upload, or store any of your audio recordings or transcriptions. Your content never leaves your computer.

Activation Services: To validate your license and prevent unauthorized use, we collect the following limited information when you activate the app:

• Machine ID: A unique identifier for your computer to bind the license to your device.
• Device Name: The name of your computer (e.g., "John's MacBook Pro") to help you manage your active devices.
• License Key: The unique key provided to you upon purchase.

Purchase Information: Information collected during purchase (email, payment details) is processed and stored securely by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). We do not store your full credit card information on our servers.

Data Processing Guarantees

We are committed to a local-first philosophy. Here are our specific guarantees:

• No Training Usage: Your audio and text data are never used to train our AI models.
• No Cloud Storage: We do not store your content on our servers. It stays on your device.
• Minimal Data Collection: We only collect the technical data necessary to validate your license and provide the software service.

Usage Data

We do not collect any usage data when you use DictaVibe. We respect your right to privacy and do not track or log your usage of DictaVibe in any way.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

DictaVibe does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies. We comply with the ePrivacy Directive and other similar legal requirements that mandate transparency about the use of cookies and other tracking technologies.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information very seriously. Since DictaVibe processes all audio data locally, there is no need for data transmission. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure of your information. However, no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information you provide through DictaVibe as the files do get saved to your device.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR and the CCPA, you have certain rights relating to your personal data. As we do not collect any personal data through DictaVibe, most of these rights will not apply. However, if we ever begin to process personal data, you have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data, the right to access the data we hold about you, and the right to have your data deleted or restricted under certain circumstances.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy on DictaVibe. Your continued use of DictaVibe after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice or seek your consent, as required by law.

Regulatory Authority

If you feel that your rights have been violated and we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the European Union, this would be the data protection authority in the country where you reside.
