Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 15, 2026

Caption.im is developed and operated by INNAIO France ("Caption.im," "we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable privacy laws.

Caption.im is designed as a privacy-first, local AI application. The app operates primarily on your device and does not rely on centralized cloud infrastructure for audio processing or transcription.

1. Information We Collect

Caption.im is designed to minimize data collection.

Caption.im does not record, store, or transmit user conversations.

We do not collect or store:

Audio from meetings or system audio
Transcripts generated by the app
Personal conversations
Screenshots or recordings
Meeting content or recordings

All audio processing and subtitle generation occur entirely on your device.

The application does not operate a centralized cloud server for processing user data.

2. On-Device Processing

Caption.im uses local AI models to generate captions, translations, and summaries directly on your device.

This means:

Audio is processed locally
No audio data is uploaded to external servers
Transcripts remain on the user's device
Conversations never leave the device

This architecture ensures maximum privacy and user control.

3. Anonymous Technical Data

To improve the stability and performance of the application, Caption.im may collect limited anonymized technical information, such as:

App crash reports
Performance diagnostics
macOS version and device type
Feature usage frequency

This information is aggregated and anonymized and cannot be used to identify an individual user.

4. Third-Party Services

Caption.im may use limited third-party services for application diagnostics and performance monitoring.

These services may process anonymized technical information.

Possible services include:

Firebase — crash reporting and performance monitoring
Mixpanel — anonymized product analytics

No audio content, transcripts, or personal conversation data are shared with these services.

5. Data Storage

Caption.im does not maintain centralized storage of user data.

All processing occurs locally on the user's device.

Temporary processing data generated during transcription or captioning remains on the device and is not transmitted externally.

Users maintain full control over their locally stored data.

6. GDPR Compliance

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users located in the European Economic Area (EEA) have the following rights:

Right of access to personal data
Right to rectification
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
Right to restrict processing
Right to data portability
Right to object to processing

Because Caption.im does not collect or store personal conversation data on external servers, most data remains under the user's direct control on their device.

For any privacy-related request, users may contact us using the information below.

7. Data Security

Caption.im uses a local-first architecture designed to minimize privacy risks.

Sensitive audio and transcription data are processed exclusively on the user's device and are not transmitted to external servers.

Any anonymized technical data shared with third-party services is transmitted using secure encryption protocols.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements to our services or changes in legal requirements.

When changes are made, the updated version will include a revised Effective Date.
