Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 10, 2026
Our Core Privacy Principle
Whisper STT is built on a fundamental privacy principle: your audio data never leaves your device. All speech recognition and translation processing happens entirely within your web browser using local AI models. We do not upload, store, transmit, or have access to any audio you process through our tool.
Information We Do NOT Collect
- Audio files or recordings
- Transcription or translation results
- Microphone recordings
- Personal voice data
- Personally identifiable information
- Account information (we don't have accounts)
Information We May Collect
We may collect limited, non-personal information through standard web technologies:
Analytics Data
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general site usage patterns. This may include: page views, approximate geographic region (country level), browser type, device type, and referring URLs. This data is aggregated and cannot identify individual users.
Advertising (Ezoic)
We use Ezoic as our advertising partner to display ads on our site. Ezoic may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your browsing behavior. For more information about how Ezoic handles data, please see Ezoic's Privacy Policy.
Model Caching
The Whisper AI model files are downloaded from Hugging Face's content delivery network and cached in your browser's local storage (Cache API / IndexedDB). These model files do not contain any personal data. You can clear this cache at any time through your browser settings.
Cookies
We may use cookies for:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
- Advertising cookies: Used by Ezoic to serve and optimize ads
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand site usage patterns
For more details, see our Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Hugging Face: Hosts the AI model files that are downloaded to your browser. See Hugging Face Privacy Policy.
- Ezoic: Advertising platform. See Ezoic Privacy Policy.
Data Security
Since audio data never leaves your device, there are no servers to breach or databases to compromise. Your transcription data is as secure as your own device.
Children's Privacy
Whisper STT is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your Rights
Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you (we hold none)
- Request deletion of your data (nothing to delete)
- Opt out of personalized advertising (through your browser settings or Ezoic's controls)
- Clear cached model files from your browser at any time

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
