Privacy

DecibelNotes exists because most transcription services treat your audio as their asset. We built the opposite. This page says what we do with your data — in plain language, because it's short enough not to need legalese.

Your recordings

• Audio is processed on hardware we own and operate — it is never sent to a third-party AI provider (no OpenAI, no Google, no Amazon transcription APIs).
• The original recording is deleted automatically the moment transcription succeeds. We do not keep audio.
• We never train AI models on your recordings or transcripts.

Your transcripts

• Transcripts and summaries are stored only until their retention period ends (72 hours on trial, 30 days–1 year on paid plans), then deleted automatically.
• Share links you create expire after 7 days.
• Only you (and people you explicitly share a link with) can see your transcripts.

Your account

• We store: your email address, plan, usage minutes, and (if you add one) a passkey public key. Sign-in is via one-time email links — we never store passwords.
• Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store card numbers.
• Sign-in emails are delivered via Resend. That is the only data (your email address) that ever touches a third-party service.

Questions or deletion requests

Email us and we'll delete your account and all associated data promptly. Most of it deletes itself before you'd ever need to ask.
