Privacy Policy

VoiceBee is a voice-to-text desktop application built by ByteBee. We take your privacy seriously — especially since you're trusting us with your voice. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What we collect

• Account info — your email address when you sign up
• Voice audio — temporarily, only during transcription (see below)
• Transcription text — processed locally or via cloud, depending on your settings
• Usage stats — word count, feature usage, and app version (no personal content)
• Subscription data — plan type and billing status (payments handled in-app)

Local mode (Whisper AI)

When you use local mode, all audio is processed entirely on your device using the Whisper AI model. Your voice data never leaves your computer. Audio is deleted immediately after transcription — nothing is stored, uploaded, or logged.

Cloud mode

When you use cloud mode, your audio is sent to the OpenAI Whisper API for transcription. OpenAI processes the audio and returns the text. According to OpenAI's API data usage policy, audio sent through the API is not used to train their models and is not stored permanently. We do not retain your audio after the transcription is complete.

Third-party services

• OpenAI — cloud speech-to-text processing (only in cloud mode)
• Google Fonts — font loading on this website only (not in the app)

We do not sell, share, or provide your data to any other third parties.

Data storage & security

Your account and subscription data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We keep this data only as long as your account is active. Transcription text is never stored on our servers — it goes directly to your device.

Your rights (GDPR)

If you're in the EU or EEA, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Object to processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@bytebee.gr. We'll respond within 30 days.

Children

VoiceBee is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 years of age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the app or by email. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the most recent version.
