Privacy

Our commitment to your privacy

MeetingDebrief is designed from the ground up to protect your privacy. We believe meeting recordings and transcripts are among the most sensitive data you can create, and we've built our architecture to ensure that data never leaves your control.

What we collect

Nothing. MeetingDebrief does not collect, transmit, or store any of your data on external servers. Specifically:

• No audio recordings are uploaded anywhere
• No transcripts are sent to any server
• No meeting summaries are transmitted externally
• No usage analytics or telemetry data is collected
• No crash reports are sent automatically
• No personal information is gathered

How it works

All processing in MeetingDebrief happens directly on your Mac:

• Audio recording is captured and stored locally on your filesystem
• Transcription uses the Whisper speech recognition model running on your device
• Key moment detection uses local analysis models
• Summarization uses language models that run entirely on your Mac

The AI models are downloaded once during initial setup and then operate completely offline.

Network access

MeetingDebrief only makes network requests in three scenarios:

• Initial model download: When you first set up the app, AI models are downloaded from our CDN. After this, no network access is needed.
• License activation: When you enter your license key, the app verifies it with our server. This request only includes the license key and does not contain any personal information (only a unique identifier for your computer) or usage data.
• Update checks: The app periodically checks for software updates. No personal data is included in these requests.

Data storage

All your data — recordings, transcripts, summaries, and settings — is stored locally on your Mac in the application's data directory. You have full control over this data and can delete it at any time by removing the application or its data folder.

Third parties

We do not share any data with third parties because we don't have any of your data to share. There are no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services integrated into MeetingDebrief.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change this privacy policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the top and notify users through the application. Our commitment to local-first, privacy-respecting software will not change.
