Privacy Policy
Privacy policy for Scribular
This Privacy Policy applies to the Scribular desktop application ("Application") created by Patrick Gallagher ("Service Provider") as a commercial service. This policy is designed to inform users of how data is (or is not) collected and used. Scribular is intended for use as is.
Your Privacy, First and Foremost
Scribular is built with privacy at its core. All audio processing and summarization happens entirely on your device. We never see, access, or store any of your session content—period.
Information Processing
The application may be used to process Protected Health Information (PHI) on the user's device. However, because no data is sent to us or stored, Scribular is not a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA. Users are responsible for using the tool in accordance with their own professional obligations and compliance requirements.
AI Training and Session Content
Session content is never used for AI training, model improvement, or analytics of any kind. All summaries are generated locally and deleted after use.
Information We Collect
We do not collect or retain any session content, audio files, transcripts, or summaries. The only data we collect is:
-
Application Status Check: The app sends a lightweight, periodic signal to verify your subscription is active. No session content or personal data is included.
-
Email Address: If you provide your email (e.g. during purchase or support), we use it only for billing or account-related communication.
-
Website Cookies: When you visit the Scribular website, we may use cookies for marketing, analytics, and site performance. These cookies do not affect your in-app experience.
That's it. No tracking, no profiling, no hidden data collection.
Third-Party Services
Scribular itself does not use any third-party services within the desktop app. On our website, we may use services like:
- Resend for email notifications
- Matomo for anonymized site analytics
- Sentry to track and fix any web errors
These services only apply to website interactions—not the Scribular desktop app.
Children's Privacy
Scribular is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children.
Data Retention
Because Scribular runs locally, we do not retain or have access to your session data. Any user-provided email data (e.g., for billing) is retained only as long as necessary for account support and legal compliance.
Security
Although we don't collect session data, we take appropriate steps to secure any limited data we do manage (such as email addresses used for billing) through secure protocols and best practices.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on our website. We encourage you to review it periodically. Your continued use of the Application constitutes your agreement to the updated policy.
Effective Date: March 25, 2025
