Website Data: Any information collected through our website is stored securely using industry-standard security measures. We use encryption and secure protocols to protect data in transit and at rest.

Audio Files and Transcripts: Your audio files and transcriptions are stored only on your local computer. We have no access to this data, and it is never transmitted to our servers. You are responsible for securing and backing up your local data.

While we implement reasonable security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.

We use the following third-party services that may collect information:
