Dictum privacy policy

Who we are

Dictum is made by Lodestar (Fabian Cooper). You can reach us at fabco921@gmail.com.

What we collect

Nothing. Dictum has no account, no sign-in, and no analytics or tracking. We do not collect personal information, usage data, advertising identifiers, or location. We cannot see your recordings or transcripts.

How your content is handled

• Microphone: used only while you are recording or dictating, to turn your speech into text on your device. The audio is not transmitted anywhere.
• Imported files: audio you import is processed on your device to produce a transcript. It is not uploaded.
• Transcripts, minutes, and exports: created on your device and stored on your device. When you choose to share or export a PDF, Word document, or mp3, it goes only where you send it, through your own share sheet.
• Data classification: the sensitivity label (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted) is computed on your device. The scan never leaves the device.

Network use

Dictum works offline. The only time it uses the network is to download its on-device speech-recognition model once, from a public model host, so that transcription can run locally afterwards. That download does not include any of your content or personal information.

Third parties

Dictum contains no advertising, no third-party analytics, and no data-collection SDKs. We do not share data with anyone, because we do not collect it.

Data retention and deletion

Because your content lives only on your device, you are in control of it. Deleting a recording or transcript in the app, or deleting the app, removes that data from your device. We hold nothing to delete on our side.

Children

Dictum is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
