Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January, 2025
Welcome to BetterDictation.com. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy explains how we handle and protect your data when you use our application.
1. Information Collection and Use
Local Processing:
Our application, BetterDictation.com, processes all initial dictations locally on your device. For users of the free version, no audio recordings or transcriptions are sent to our servers.
Pro Feature and OpenAI Processing:
If you are using BetterDictation Pro, while your initial transcription still occurs locally, the text transcription is then sent to OpenAI's API for post-processing to enhance quality through features like stammer correction and automatic formatting. This means that if you are a Pro user, your transcribed text (but not your audio) will be processed through OpenAI's services. Please note that this data handling is subject to OpenAI's privacy policy and terms of service.
Telemetry Data:
The only information we collect and send to our servers is basic telemetry data, which includes information about application performance and crash reports. This data helps us to identify and fix potential issues, improving the stability and functionality of our application.
2. Purpose of Data Collection
The telemetry data we collect serves the following purposes:
- To maintain and improve the performance and stability of our application.
- To analyze crash reports and resolve any issues in a timely manner.
3. Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. All telemetry data sent to our servers is encrypted and stored securely. For Pro users, your transcribed text is transmitted securely to OpenAI's API using industry-standard encryption protocols. We implement a variety of security measures to ensure that your data is protected against unauthorized access or disclosure. No audio recordings are ever transmitted from your device.
4. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for their commercial purposes.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal information that we collect, subject to certain exceptions. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the contact information below.
