App Analytics and Crash Reports
The desktop app includes an optional experience improvement program that helps us understand how the app is used, where it fails, and what to improve next. This section describes exactly what it collects and how you can control it.
What the app analytics collects
- Build and device information: app version, operating system and version, CPU architecture and platform.
- A random installation identifier: a randomly generated identifier stored on your device. It is not derived from your hardware serial number or any persistent device fingerprint.
- Product events: actions such as the app being opened or upgraded, a transcription starting, completing or failing, a feature being opened, or an error being hit, together with non-content properties such as durations, counts, error codes, and the engine or model selected.
The app analytics does not include your audio recordings, transcripts, note content, file names, chat messages, AI prompts, credentials, or payment details.
Account linkage. When you are signed in, these events are associated with an internal account number (for example, user_12345). We do not send your name, email address, or phone number to the analytics service.
Processor and location. App analytics events are processed on our behalf by PostHog in the European Union. Crash reports are processed by Sentry, also in the European Union.
Retention. App analytics events are retained for up to 12 months.
Your choices
- Turning it off: go to Settings → About → "Experience improvement program" and switch it off. When it is off, the app sends no analytics requests at all.
- Crash reports are handled separately from that switch. They contain error diagnostics (error message, stack trace, app version, operating system and hardware summary) and never your audio, transcripts or note content; local file paths are removed before sending.
- Deletion or withdrawal: to request deletion of the analytics data associated with your account, or to ask us to turn analytics off on your behalf, email us at [email protected]. We will action such requests within 30 days.
Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect personal information from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Location Information
When you first launch any of our mobile applications that collect location information, you will be asked to consent to the application's collection of this information. If you initially consent to our collection of location information, you can subsequently stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the preferences on your mobile device. If you do so, our mobile applications, or certain features thereof, will no longer function. You may also stop our collection of location information by following the standard uninstall process to remove all of our mobile applications from your device.
Cookies
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our services.
Promotional Communications
You may opt out of receiving any promotional emails from us by following the instructions in those emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations.
