Hushpiece耳语同传
Privacy Policy
In one sentence: Hushpiece collects, uploads and sells no data. Speech recognition, translation and speech synthesis use macOS's on-device models and happen on your Mac. Hushpiece has no servers, needs no account, and contains no analytics, advertising or third-party SDKs.
What the app touches
| Information | Used for | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone audio | Recognising and translating what you say | Processed in memory in real time; never recorded and never leaves this Mac |
| System audio (the other side of your meeting) | Recognising what they say and showing subtitles | Same as above. Obtained through the Screen & System Audio Recording permission; only audio is used, the screen is never read |
| Recognised and translated text | Subtitles, and the meeting transcript | Saved in the app's own data folder on your Mac; open or delete it any time |
| Settings (languages, devices, text size…) | Remembering your preferences | Stored on your Mac |
What we never do
- Upload any audio, text or transcript to any server
- Ask you to sign up, or collect your name, email, device identifiers or location
- Use advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs
- Share data with third parties
Models provided by macOS
The first time you use a language, macOS downloads Apple's on-device speech recognition and translation models for it. The system does this under Apple's Privacy Policy; it does not go through Hushpiece and carries none of your meeting content.
Permissions
- Microphone: to recognise what you say.
- Screen & System Audio Recording: macOS files "hearing system audio" under this permission. Hushpiece uses audio only; it never looks at or saves your screen.
You can turn these off at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
Transcripts and deletion
Each meeting's text transcript is saved in the app's data folder (menu bar → Meeting records → Open folder). Delete the files, or the app, and they are gone. We have no access to them, so we cannot restore them either.
Recording notice
Hushpiece does not record audio, but it does turn the conversation into a text transcript. If your jurisdiction or company requires telling participants, please do so.
Children
Hushpiece is not directed at children under 13 and collects no personal information from anyone.
