DICTUMPrivacy Policy
Dictum turns your voice into text entirely on your device. There is no account, no tracking, and no analytics. Your audio, your transcripts and your notes are never uploaded, and I never see them.
What Dictum is
Dictum is a voice app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It dictates, transcribes recordings, and captures meetings with speaker separation, then exports polished minutes. All of this happens on the device in your hand.
What I collect
Nothing. Dictum has no account system and no server that receives your content. Your recordings, transcripts, speaker labels, summaries and notes are created and stored only on your device. I have no way to read them.
Where your data lives
Everything Dictum produces is kept in the app’s private storage on your device. Deleting a session removes it from that device. Removing the app removes its data. There is no cloud copy, because Dictum does not have a cloud.
Microphone and audio
When you dictate or record a meeting, Dictum uses the microphone to capture audio and transcribe it on-device. The audio is processed locally and is never sent anywhere. You can save a recording as an mp3 yourself, and only you decide where it goes.
Network use
Dictum works offline. The one time it reaches the network is to download its on-device AI models the first time you use transcription or speaker separation, a one-off of roughly 40 MB fetched from a public model host. Your audio, transcripts and notes are never part of any network request. After the models are in place, Dictum runs with no network at all, airplane mode included.
Analytics and tracking
There is none. No analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no crash trackers that carry your content, no third-party tracking of any kind.
Purchases
When Dictum is available for purchase, payment is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. I never receive your card details. Apple’s own privacy policy governs that transaction.
Children
Dictum is a general-purpose productivity app and is not directed at children. Because it collects no personal information at all, it gathers nothing from anyone, of any age.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will appear at this same address with an updated date above. Because Dictum collects nothing, changes will be rare.
