Privacy
What we collect, where it goes, and how long we keep it.
Effective 9 June 2026
Whisperly turns what you say into clean text. To do that we handle a small amount of your data. This page explains what, why, and for how long. Whisperly is operated by Evgeny Alexeev, a sole proprietor registered in Uzbekistan. Questions: support@whisperly.io.
What we collect
- Your email address, so you can sign in with a one-time link and so we can reach you about your account.
- Your dictation audio, only while it is being turned into text (see “How a dictation works”).
- Basic usage records: how many words you dictated and when, so we can apply your plan's limits and bill correctly. These records do not contain the content of your dictations.
- Your subscription status, if you upgrade to Pro.
We do not ask for your name, your address, or anything we do not need.
How a dictation works
When you dictate, the audio is sent over an encrypted connection to our servers in the EU, and from there to a specialist speech-to-text provider that turns it into text. The text is then sent to a language provider that cleans it up and, if you asked, translates it. The result comes back to you.
Your audio is never written to a database or a file. Once your text has been produced, the audio is gone. We do not build a history of your dictations.
Where your data is processed
- Your account, email, and usage records are stored in the EU (Supabase, in Frankfurt).
- Turning speech into text and cleaning it up uses specialist providers, currently Fireworks, Groq, and OpenAI. Your audio and text are sent to them only to produce your result. Some of these providers operate outside the EU, so your audio and text may be processed outside the EU under those providers' data-protection terms. We may change providers and will keep this page current.
- Payments are handled by Paddle, acting as our Merchant of Record. Paddle collects and processes your payment details and handles any tax. We never see or store your card number.
We do not use your dictations to train any model, ours or anyone else's, and we choose providers that process your content only to return your result.
Custom vocabulary
The custom words you add stay on your Mac. They are sent with a dictation only to help spell your terms correctly, and are not stored on our servers afterward.
Cookies and tracking
The website uses only what it needs to keep you signed in. We do not run advertising trackers, and at launch we do not run third-party analytics on the site.
Keeping the service safe
We briefly process your IP address to stop abuse, such as spam sign-ups or automated overload. We do not store it to build a profile of you or to track you across the web.
How long we keep things
- Account and usage records: while your account exists.
- Audio: not kept at all.
- If you close your account we delete your account data. To request deletion now, email support@whisperly.io; an in-app deletion option is coming.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email support@whisperly.io and we will act on your request. This policy never takes away any rights you have under your local data-protection law.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update this page and the date above.
