Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Recmo ("the App") handles your information.

1. Information We Collect

Information Processed by the App

The App processes the following information only on your device:

Audio Data: Audio played on your Mac (web meetings, calls, videos, etc.) and microphone input
Transcription Data: Text generated from audio
Summary Data: Summary text generated from transcriptions
Memo Data: Notes entered by the user during recording
Settings: App preferences (output folders, Whisper model selection, etc.)

Information We Do Not Collect

Personally identifiable information (name, email, etc.)
Location data
Device identifiers
Usage analytics

2. Data Storage

Local Storage

All audio data, transcription data, and summary data are stored only on your Mac. Default storage locations are:

Audio files: ~/Documents/Recmo/audio/
Transcripts: ~/Documents/Recmo/transcripts/
Summaries: ~/Documents/Recmo/summaries/

You can change these locations in the app settings.

Cloud Transmission

The App does not transmit audio recordings (audio files) to any cloud servers. Recording and transcription are processed entirely on your Mac.

However, when using the summarization feature, transcription text is sent to the OpenAI API. See "Third-Party Services" below for details.

3. Third-Party Services

OpenAI API (Summarization Feature)

When using the summarization feature, transcription text is sent to the OpenAI API. This is required to generate summaries.

Data sent: Transcription text and memos (used for summary generation)
Data not sent: Audio files, filenames, or any other personal information
API key management: You use your own OpenAI API key
When data is sent: When a recording is completed with summarization enabled, or when you manually trigger re-summarization

For OpenAI's privacy practices, please refer to OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

Important: The summarization feature is optional. If you do not set up an API key, no transcription text will be sent to the cloud. Recording and transcription work fully offline.

4. Required Permissions

The App requires the following system permissions:

Permission	Purpose
Screen Recording	Required to capture system audio (meeting app audio)
Microphone	Required to capture microphone audio (your voice)
Notifications	Required to notify you of recording/processing completion (optional)

Data obtained through these permissions is used solely to provide the App's functionality and is not transmitted externally (except for the summarization feature).

5. Data Deletion

Deleting Recording Data

You can delete individual recordings from the recording history. Deleted data is permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

Uninstalling the App

Uninstalling the app does not delete your saved data (audio, transcripts, summary files). To completely remove all data, manually delete the files from your storage folders.

6. Third-Party Sharing

The App does not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.

7. Security

The App implements the following security measures:

All data is stored locally and managed on your encrypted file system
Communication with the OpenAI API is encrypted via HTTPS
The app runs in a sandboxed environment with restricted access to only permitted folders

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated without prior notice. When changes are made, we will update this page and modify the "Last Updated" date.
