Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
Our Commitment
Whispus is designed with privacy as an absolute priority. Unlike most voice dictation apps, your data never leaves your Mac. All processing is done locally on your device.
Data Collected
What we DO NOT collect
- Your voice recordings
- Your transcriptions
- The content of your texts
- Your personal data
- Your usage history
- Your location
What we collect (optional)
- Email: Only if you subscribe to our mailing list to receive updates
- Crash data: Only if you enable anonymous crash reports (disabled by default)
Local Processing
Whispus uses WhisperKit, a voice recognition engine optimized for Apple Silicon. All transcription is performed directly on your Mac, without requiring an internet connection.
AI enhancement of your texts is optional and may use third-party services (Claude, Gemini). If you enable this feature, only the transcribed text (not the audio) is sent to the chosen AI service, according to their own privacy policies.
Data Storage
All your data (history, preferences, personal dictionary) is stored locally on your Mac in the application folder. You can delete it at any time by uninstalling the application or using the cleanup options in settings.
Third-Party Services
If you enable AI enhancement, the following services may be used:
- Anthropic (Claude): Privacy Policy
- Google (Gemini): Privacy Policy
You can disable AI enhancement at any time for 100% local processing.

- Right of access: Request a copy of your personal data
- Right to rectification: Correct inaccurate data
- Right to erasure: Delete your personal data
- Right to portability: Receive your data in a standard format
