TurboWhisper is built to run locally on your Mac by default. Your audio and transcripts stay on your device unless you explicitly connect to an external engine with your own API key. We treat your data as toxic waste, we don't want to touch it.
We may use basic, aggregate analytics provided by our hosting platform (e.g., Vercel) to understand landing page views and installer downloads. This data is anonymized, aggregate only, and does not include the content of your audio or transcripts.
If you enable a cloud engine (such as Groq, Deepgram, Mistral, Gemini, or ElevenLabs), your audio/text is sent to that provider under their terms using your API key. Your keys are stored in the macOS Keychain where possible.
We use your email address to send license details, receipts, and important product notices (e.g., major security or compatibility updates). You can opt out of non‑essential marketing updates at any time via the unsubscribe link.
We retain your email and license records for as long as needed to provide support and comply with legal obligations. You can request deletion of marketing emails by contacting us.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us via email to exercise these rights.
