    Last updated: 2024-03-28

    At Actondon UG (haftungsbeschränkt), your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy provides detailed information about how we do not collect, use, maintain, and disclose information collected from users of our dictop application. dictop is a speech-to-text application with additional language model text transformation capabilities, designed to enhance user experience and accuracy.

    1. Application Purpose

    dictop allows users to convert speech to text either on-device for complete privacy or via cloud-based services.

    For users opting for cloud-based speech-to-text services, we offer integration with various providers such as AWS Transcribe, Google, Deepgram or Assembly AI. Additionally, dictop offers a language model text transformation feature allowing direct interaction with OpenAI’s services using the user’s own API key.

    2. Information We Do Not Collect

    There is no collection or storage of personal information by dictop or Actondon UG. All transactions related to the purchase or subscription of our app are handled through the Apple App Store.

    3. Language Model Text Transformation

    For the language model text transformation process, dictop facilitates direct access to OpenAI’s services using the user’s personal API key. This direct approach ensures there is no intermediary between OpenAI and the user, maintaining full transparency and security. When using this feature, users are subject to OpenAI’s privacy policy, as Actondon UG does not process, store, or have access to any data inputted into OpenAI’s services.

    4. Anonymized Usage Logs

    Although personal data is not collected, we maintain anonymized logs for operational purposes, such as estimating costs associated with server use and speech-to-text services. These logs include no personally identifiable information.

    5. Data Storage and Security

    Any data temporarily processed on our servers for the speech-to-text service is handled with strict security measures and is not stored beyond the duration of processing. Access to these systems is limited to authorized personnel.

    6. User Rights

    Users may request deletion of any data they believe might be stored by contacting us directly; however, given our non-collection of personal data, direct requests to service providers (e.g., OpenAI, Apple) may be necessary. Subscription inquiries or cancellations should be directed to the Apple App Store.

    7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

    We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on our website accessible through the Apple App Store. We encourage users to periodically review this policy for any changes.
