Our Commitment to Privacy

At Hapi, we take your privacy seriously. Unlike most transcription services, all your audio processing happens locally on your device. We never send your audio or transcriptions to our servers or any third party.

Data We Collect

Email Address (Optional)

If you download Hapi from our website, we may collect your email address to:

• Send you download links and installation instructions
• Notify you of important updates and security patches
• Provide customer support when requested

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email.

Data We DON'T Collect

Hapi is designed with privacy-first principles:

• Audio recordings: Never uploaded or transmitted
• Transcriptions: Stored only on your local device
• Usage analytics: We don't track how you use the app
• Personal information: No names, locations, or device IDs

How We Use Your Data

Any data we collect (like your email address) is used solely for:

• Providing and improving Hapi services
• Communicating with you about the product
• Complying with legal obligations

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Local Storage

All your recordings and transcriptions are stored locally on your Mac in:

• ~/Documents/Hapi/Recordings/
• ~/Documents/Hapi/Transcripts/
• ~/Library/Application Support/Hapi/

You have full control over this data and can delete it at any time by removing these folders.
