Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Vocally is a privacy-conscious voice-to-text application developed by 주식회사 슬릿컴퍼니 (SLIT Co., Ltd.) ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Vocally desktop application ("Software") and our website.

Business information: Representative 전도현 · Business registration number 882-81-03956 · Address 서울특별시 성동구 왕십리로 222, 한양대학교 한양종합기술연구원(히트관) 지하2층 비215호 데카콘 아이 5번 테이블(사근동)(사근동, 한양대학교 한양종합기술연구원).

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address (via email/password sign-up, or provided by Google or Kakao during OAuth sign-in)
• Display name (if provided through your sign-in method)
• Authentication identifiers (user ID generated by our authentication provider)

Account creation is optional. You may use the Software without an account for local-only features.

1.2 Subscription & Payment Information

If you purchase a subscription, payment is processed through the payment provider selected at checkout, such as Toss Payments or Kakao Pay where available. We do not directly collect or store your card, Kakao Pay, or other payment credentials. The selected provider handles payment authentication and payment details. We receive and store:

• Your subscription plan and status
• Purchase dates and billing cycle information

For details on how payment data is handled, please refer to the privacy policy and terms of the payment provider selected at checkout.

1.3 Usage Data & Analytics

We use Mixpanel to collect anonymized usage analytics on both the desktop application and our website. This includes:

• Page views and navigation patterns
• Button clicks and feature usage
• Dictation events (duration, word count, transcription mode — not the content of your dictation)
• Settings changes
• Sign-in and sign-up events (method used, success/failure)
• Error events (type and stage — not personal content)
• Onboarding progress

Mixpanel may use cookies or local storage identifiers to track sessions. You can learn more at Mixpanel's Privacy Policy.

1.4 Usage Counters

To enforce plan limits, we track:

• Words transcribed (daily, monthly, and total counts)
• AI tokens consumed (daily, monthly, and total counts)

These counters are associated with your account and stored on our servers.

2. Audio & Transcription Processing

2.1 Local Processing (Whisper)

When using local Whisper transcription, all audio processing happens entirely on your device. Audio data never leaves your device, and transcriptions are stored locally.

2.2 Cloud-Based Transcription (Optional)

If you choose to use cloud-based transcription services, audio data is transmitted to third-party providers for processing. The available cloud transcription options are:

• Groq — for Whisper-based cloud transcription and AI text cleanup
• AssemblyAI — for real-time streaming transcription
• Deepgram — for real-time streaming transcription

Use of these services is entirely optional and under your control. You supply your own API keys, and we do not receive, store, or have access to any audio or transcription data sent to these providers. Each provider's own privacy policy governs their handling of your data.

3. AI Text Processing

When you use AI-powered features (text cleanup, tone adjustment, agent mode), text may be sent to cloud-based AI providers (such as Groq) for processing. This is optional and depends on your chosen configuration. Local processing options are available when supported.

4. Data Storage

4.1 Local Storage

The following data is stored locally on your device via SQLite:

• Transcription history and recordings
• Application settings and preferences
• API keys (encrypted)
• Dictionary terms and tone configurations

4.2 Remote Storage

The following data is stored on our servers via Supabase:

• Account information (email, display name, user ID)
• Subscription plan and status
• Usage counters (word and token counts)

5. Third-Party Services

6. Your Rights & Control

• Account deletion: You can delete your account and all associated remote data from within the application settings.
• Local data: You can delete any locally stored data at any time through your device's file system or by uninstalling the Software.
• Cloud transcription: You can switch between local and cloud transcription at any time.
• Analytics opt-out: Mixpanel analytics are only active when a valid analytics token is configured. The Software can operate without analytics.
• No account required: You may use the Software's core features locally without creating an account.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• API keys are encrypted before local storage
• Authentication is handled through Supabase with secure token management
• All data transmission uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Payments are processed through the selected payment provider's secure infrastructure

8. Children's Privacy

Vocally is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. If you have an account, we may notify you of significant changes via email.
