Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 18, 2026
Introduction
VoxWave is a voice dictation application that primarily runs locally on your computer. Protecting your privacy is at the core of our approach.
Data Collected by the Software
Local Mode (default)
In local mode, no data leaves your computer. Audio is captured, transcribed, and cleaned entirely on your machine using Whisper and Ollama. Nothing is sent to an external server.
Cloud Mode (optional)
If you enable cloud mode, your audio data is sent to the following services for processing:
- Groq API — audio transcription (whisper-large-v3-turbo)
- OpenAI API — transcribed text cleanup (GPT-4o-mini)
These services have their own privacy policies. Your API keys are stored locally in a .env file on your machine and are never shared with VoxWave.

The website voxwave.app may collect the following data:
- Anonymized browsing data (pages visited, visit duration) via analytics tools

Data Storage
