Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2, 2026

AsPeach ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our desktop application and website (collectively, the "Service").

By using AsPeach, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Core Privacy Principle

AsPeach processes all voice-to-text transcription locally on your device. Your audio recordings are never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers. All speech recognition is performed using the Whisper AI model running entirely on your hardware. No audio data, transcription content, or dictation history leaves your machine during the transcription process.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Account Information: If you sign in with Google to access Pro features, we receive your Google account email address, display name, and profile picture. We do not receive or store your Google password.
  • Payment Information: Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our third-party payment processor. We do not directly collect or store credit card numbers, bank account details, or other financial information. Please refer to Lemon Squeezy's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle payment data.
  • Sync Data (Pro users): If you use cross-device sync, your dictionary entries, text snippets, application settings, and transcription history are stored on our servers to enable synchronization across your devices. This data is associated with your account.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Device Information: A hashed machine identifier used solely for session management and device limits (one active device at a time).
  • Usage Statistics: Aggregate, non-identifying usage data such as number of transcriptions performed (for free tier limits) and feature usage. This data does not include the content of your transcriptions.
  • Website Analytics: When visiting aspeach.com, we may collect standard web analytics data (pages visited, referral source, browser type) through cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Audio recordings or voice data
  • Transcription content or dictation text (unless you opt into Pro sync)
  • Keystrokes or screen content
  • Contents of other applications on your device
  • Location data
  • Contacts or personal files

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Authentication: To verify your identity and manage your account session.
  • Service Delivery: To provide Pro features including cross-device sync.
  • Device Management: To enforce the one-active-device-at-a-time policy for your account security.
  • Usage Limits: To track daily transcription counts for the free tier.
  • Communication: To send critical service-related notices (e.g., subscription changes, security alerts). We do not send marketing emails.
  • Improvement: To analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve the Service (without accessing individual user content).

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Google (authentication), Lemon Squeezy (payments), MongoDB Atlas (database hosting). These providers process data only as necessary to provide their services to us, under contractual obligations to protect your data.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your data would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
  • With Your Consent: In any other circumstance, only with your explicit consent.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), encrypted storage, and secure authentication protocols. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

  • Account Data: Retained for as long as your account is active. Upon deletion request, all account data is permanently deleted within 30 days.
  • Sync Data: Retained while your account is active and you have an active Pro subscription. Deleted within 30 days after subscription cancellation or account deletion.
  • Usage Statistics: Aggregate, anonymized statistics may be retained indefinitely.
  • Local Data: All data stored locally on your device (transcriptions, dictionaries, settings) is under your control and is never transmitted to us unless you opt into Pro sync.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data and account.
  • Portability: Request your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: Object to the processing of your personal data.
