# Privacy policy Last updated: 29 April 2026 talat is a meeting transcription app that runs entirely on your device. This policy explains what data we collect and what we do with it. ## The app All audio recording, transcription, speaker identification, and summarisation (by default - see next section for more on this point) happens locally on your device using on-device models. None of this data is sent to us or to any third party. We have no servers that receive, process, or store your meeting content. We can't see your recordings, transcripts, speakers, or notes. talat does not include any analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking. We don't know how often you use the app, which features you use, what you click on, or how many meetings you record. ## Cloud LLM providers You can choose to use a cloud-based LLM for better summarisation on longer meetings instead of an on-device model. You choose the provider, you supply your own API key, and you send data to them directly. We're not involved in that relationship: we don't proxy requests, don't see your API keys, and don't receive any data from those providers. When you use a cloud provider, their privacy policy governs how they handle your data. Make sure you're comfortable with it. ## Google account integration talat can optionally connect to a Google account so your upcoming meetings appear inside the app. This integration is opt-in: nothing is read from Google unless you explicitly connect an account from Settings. When you connect a Google account, talat requests two narrowly-scoped, read-only permissions from Google: - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.calendarlist.readonly` - to list the calendars on your account, so you can choose which ones to use with talat. - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.readonly` - to read upcoming events from the calendars you’ve chosen. talat also requests the standard `openid` and `email` scopes so your connected account can be labelled in Settings with your email address. All four scopes are read-only: talat cannot write to your calendar, create or modify events, or access other Google data. Calendar data is stored locally on your device. It is never sent to our servers, shared with third parties, used for advertising, or used to train AI or ML models. Your Google account connection is kept in your operating system’s secure password store, not in talat’s own files. You can disconnect a Google account at any time from Settings. This immediately removes talat’s access on Google’s side, and deletes the calendar data from your device. talat’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the [Google API Services User Data Policy](https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy), including the Limited Use requirements. ## Licence validation If you purchase a licence, the app periodically checks that it has not been refunded or revoked. We need this to protect our business. The licence identifier is totally opaque: it includes no device fingerprinting, no usage data, no tracking data. If you're not online when this check happens (e.g. you're having an air-gapped meeting), talat will retry another time. ## The website This website uses [PostHog](https://posthog.com/) for basic analytics — how many people visit, how many download the app, and which channels lead people to us. PostHog stores an anonymous identifier in your browser’s local storage (not a cookie). If you arrive via a campaign or a directory listing, we note where you came from. We don’t track across devices, share this data, or build advertising profiles. We use [PromoteKit](https://promotekit.com/) for our affiliate programme. If you arrive at this site via an affiliate link, PromoteKit sets a cookie (lasting 60 days) so the affiliate can be credited if you purchase talat. This is the only cookie this website sets. It contains no personal information — just a referral identifier. ## Purchases Payments are processed by [Stripe](https://stripe.com/). When you buy talat, Stripe collects your email address (they require it) and billing address. We receive your email so we can send you a licence key. We don't sell, share, or do anything with your email address. We never see or store your payment details. ## Data we store If you buy talat, we store your email address and opaque licence identifier. ## Third-party services - Stripe — payment processing.

See [PostHog's privacy policy](https://posthog.com/privacy). - PromoteKit — affiliate referral tracking. Sets a single cookie (60-day expiry) when you arrive via an affiliate link.

We won't make changes that weaken your privacy without making them obvious. ## Contact If you have questions about this policy or how talat handles your data, email us at [hello@talat.app](mailto:hello@talat.app).
