What Dettivo runs locally

Dictation and meeting capture run on your Mac. Audio, transcripts, and analysis are written to your local disk under your user account. We do not receive, proxy, or mirror that data.

What our servers do see

• License activation: your license key, the device ID of each Mac, the IP and user-agent of the activation request, and timestamps.
• Update tokens: short-lived JWTs that let Sparkle pull the signed appcast and artifact. No content.
• Purchase records: Stripe purchase metadata (email, customer ID, amount, currency, refund/dispute status).
• Optional email: if you share an email at checkout, we use it to send your license and respond to support.

What we never touch

• Your dictation audio or transcripts.
• Your meeting audio, transcripts, or analysis.
• Your notes, action items, follow-up drafts.
• Your local calendar or contacts.
• Telemetry — we do not collect usage analytics.

Cloud STT / BYOK

If you enable an OpenAI-compatible STT endpoint in Settings and configure it with your own credentials, Dettivo will send audio directly to that endpoint. That traffic is governed by your provider’s terms, not ours.

Hosted meeting AI / BYOK

You can optionally use OpenAI or Anthropic with your own API key for meeting notes, transcript polish, and Q&A. Meeting capture and transcription can stay local; hosted providers receive transcript text after transcription and do not join, record, or transcribe the meeting. Provider keys are stored locally in Keychain.

Subprocessors

• Stripe — payments and purchase metadata.
• Vercel — website hosting.
• Neon / Postgres provider — durable license ledger.
• Cloudflare — updates distribution + edge worker.
• Resend (optional) — transactional email for license recovery.

Your rights

You can request deletion of your purchase email, revoke a device from Settings > Cloud, and request full account deletion by emailing support.
