1. Introduction
Safeclip is operated by Safeclip, LLC. Safeclip is a signed-in local desktop application. Your data belongs to you and stays on your computer. This policy explains what we collect (very little) and how we handle it.
2. What We Collect
We collect only the minimum information necessary for the application to function:
2.1 Account Information
Safeclip requires a free account to sign in on desktop. When you register, we store:
- Email address
- Display name (optional)
- Avatar image (optional, if you upload one)
2.2 Your Notes and Projects
All recordings, transcripts, notes, and project data are stored locally on your device. We never receive, store, or process your audio, transcriptions, or note content on our servers.
2.3 Session Information
For authentication and licensing purposes:
- Session tokens (used only for authentication)
- License status (to verify your plan on the desktop app)
- IP address (temporarily logged for session management, not stored long-term)
2.4 Website Analytics
The safeclip.io marketing website uses Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate visit activity:
- Page views on safeclip.io
- Download button clicks (by platform)
- Account signup completions
IP anonymization is on and Google ad-personalization signals are disabled, so Google cannot use this data for ad targeting. The analytics run only on the marketing website. The desktop app sends no data to Google Analytics. Your recordings, transcripts, and notes never leave your device and are not visible to Google Analytics.
3. What We Do NOT Collect
We do NOT collect or use:
- Your audio recordings, transcripts, or note content, ever
- Device fingerprints or precise location data
- Data for advertising, targeting, or remarketing
The desktop app collects no analytics. The marketing website uses Google Analytics 4 for anonymous visit measurement with advertising signals disabled. See Section 2.4.
4. Local Processing
Local AI processing by default: All transcription and AI summarization runs on your machine using models bundled with the app. We use open-source tools including Whisper for transcription. No audio, no text, and no queries from your notes are sent to our servers.
The app works on a plane. We have no way to read your notes from our end — they are not transmitted to our servers.
5. Data Storage
All notes, recordings, and project data are stored locally on your computer. We do not store your content on our servers.
You own your data. You can delete your account and all associated account information at any time. Because your note content lives only on your machine, deleting it there is entirely under your control.
6. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, or rent your data to anyone. Period.
The only circumstances where we might access or disclose account data are:
- If required by law or court order
- To protect our rights or prevent illegal activity
The marketing website uses Google Analytics 4 for anonymous traffic measurement with ad personalization disabled. We do not use advertising networks or data brokers.
7. Cookies
We use session cookies for authentication, which are essential for the app to function. The marketing website also uses Google Analytics 4 cookies to measure anonymous site traffic. These analytics cookies do not carry personally identifiable information and are not used for advertising targeting. We do not use advertising cookies.
8. Your Rights
You have complete control over your data:
- Access: View your account information at any time
- Delete: Delete your account and associated account data at any time
- Export: Export your notes, transcripts, and projects from the desktop app
- Control: All note and recording content lives only on your machine
9. Security
We implement standard security measures to protect your account information. Because Safeclip processes everything on your own device, the security of your note content depends on the security of your own computer, not ours.
10. Service Providers
We use a small number of third-party service providers, each acting solely as a data processor on our behalf and prohibited from using your data for their own purposes:
- Stripe , payment processing for the Founding License. Stripe receives your payment card data; we do not store it. Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of payment data.
- Google Analytics 4 , anonymous website traffic measurement on safeclip.io. IP anonymization is on; ad-personalization signals are off. Google's privacy policy governs their handling of this data.
- Authentication infrastructure , session tokens are stored in our database for sign-in only.
We use Google Analytics 4 for anonymous website traffic measurement only. We do not use advertising networks or data brokers. No personal information is sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.
