Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 22, 2026
What happens on your Mac, stays on your Mac.
Sayline is built on a "Local-First" architecture. This means:
- No Cloud Processing: We do not upload your voice recordings or transcriptions to any server. All processing happens locally on your device using the SOTA (state-of-the-art) ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) model.
- No Training Data: We do not use your data to train our AI models.
- No Eavesdropping: Sayline only listens when you explicitly trigger it (via hotkey or button).
Minimal data for essential operations.
While the Sayline application processes your content locally, we collect limited information to operate our business (e.g., billing and licensing).
A. Information You Provide
- Account & Billing Info: When you purchase a license, our Merchant of Record, Polar.sh, collects your email address, name, and payment details. Sayline does not store your full credit card information.
- Support Communications: If you email us, we collect your email address and the content of your message to assist you.
B. Automatically Collected Data (Website Only)
- Website Analytics: When you visit sayline.app, we may collect anonymous usage data (e.g., pages visited, browser type) to improve our website's performance.
- Cookies: We use essential cookies to manage your session and preferences on our website.
We do not sell your data.
We share data only with trusted third-party service providers necessary to run our business:
- Polar.sh: Processes payments and manages license keys.
- Vercel: Hosts our website and infrastructure.
We will not share your personal information with any other third parties unless required by law.
Control over your information.
Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR for EU users, CCPA for California users), you have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (primarily billing info).
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at hello@sayline.app.
Not for users under 13.
Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
Staying current.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
