Kali Transcribe — Privacy Policy
How Kali Transcribe handles your account, your audio, and the resulting transcripts.
Kali Transcribe is built around a simple promise: the audio you upload exists only long enough to produce a transcript, and nothing about the content of that audio is used to train any model.
What we collect
- Apple account identifier. When you sign in with Apple, we store the opaque Apple user identifier so we can attach your transcripts and remaining minutes to your account. Your real name and primary email are not stored.
- Transcripts. The text returned by Deepgram is saved so you can view it again later inside the app. You can delete your account at any time and every transcript will be removed with it.
- Usage counters. We track how many minutes of audio you have transcribed so that the free trial limit and your monthly plan can be enforced.
- Purchase receipts. When you subscribe or buy an add-on pack, Apple sends us a signed receipt that we store to grant the entitlement.
What we do not collect
- The audio file itself. It is processed in memory and discarded immediately.
- Your contact list, location, microphone, photo library, or device identifiers.
- Analytics that fingerprint you across other apps or websites.
How audio is processed
The audio file you pick is sent over HTTPS to our backend, which forwards it to Deepgram's prerecorded transcription endpoint. Deepgram returns the transcript and a duration estimate. We then store the resulting text plus the duration; the original audio is never written to disk on our server and is never shared with any third party other than Deepgram.
Third-party services
- Apple. Sign in with Apple, In-App Purchases, App Store Server Notifications.
- Deepgram.Speech-to-text processing only. See Deepgram's own privacy policy at
deepgram.com/privacy.
Data retention & deletion
Transcripts and account data are kept for as long as your account exists. To delete everything, request account deletion from inside the app (Profile → Delete account) or email us. Account deletion is permanent and irreversible.
Children
Kali Transcribe is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
We will revise this page if our practices change and bump the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be highlighted inside the app.
