JustType is designed as a local-first manual transcription app. Your audio files and transcripts are stored on your Mac, and JustType does not sell your data or use it for advertising.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how JustType handles information when you use the JustType Mac app and related support website.
JustType is a manual audio transcription app for creating, editing, organizing, searching, and exporting transcript sessions.
2. Information JustType Stores Locally
When you use the app, JustType may store the following information locally on your Mac:
- Audio files you import into the app.
- Transcript text you create or edit.
- Session titles, timestamps, playback position, playback settings, and app preferences.
- Metadata such as created date, updated date, and audio duration.
This information is used to provide the app’s core functionality, including saving sessions, reopening previous work, searching transcripts, and exporting text files.
3. No Automatic Upload of Audio or Transcripts
JustType does not automatically upload your audio files or transcript text to a server operated by JustType.
If you choose to move, copy, sync, back up, or share your files using third-party services such as iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, email, or another backup provider, those services may handle your files according to their own privacy policies.
4. Support Communications
If you contact support, you may provide information such as your name, email address, app version, device information, screenshots, logs, or a description of your issue.
This information is used only to respond to your request, troubleshoot problems, improve the app, and maintain support records.
5. Website Data
The JustType support website may be served through hosting, DNS, security, or analytics providers. These providers may process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and request timestamps.
This information is used for site delivery, security, abuse prevention, performance monitoring, and basic troubleshooting.
6. Third-Party Services
JustType may rely on third-party services for app distribution, payment processing, website hosting, email delivery, crash reporting, analytics, or customer support.
These services may process limited information as needed to provide their services. JustType does not sell personal information to third parties.
7. Data Retention
Audio files, transcripts, and saved sessions remain on your Mac unless you delete them or remove the app data yourself.
Support emails and related communications may be retained as long as needed to provide support, maintain records, improve the app, or comply with legal obligations.
8. Your Choices
You can delete local JustType sessions, exported transcript files, and imported audio files from your Mac. You can also choose what information to include when contacting support.
To request deletion of support communications or ask privacy-related questions, contact the email address listed below.
9. Children’s Privacy
JustType is not directed to children under 13. JustType does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Security
JustType is designed to keep transcription data local to your Mac. You are responsible for protecting access to your device and any backups, sync services, or exported files you choose to use.
No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but reasonable measures are used to protect information handled through support and website systems.
