Privacy policy

1. The short version

Murmint has no accounts and no servers of its own that receive your dictation. Your settings, history and vocabulary stay on your computer. When you dictate, your audio and text go directly from your computer to the AI providers you chose. We do not sell or share your information.

2. What stays on your computer

• Settings, including your shortcuts, styles, rules and words to avoid.
• API keys, encrypted with Windows (DPAPI) so only your Windows account can read them.
• History of your dictations, if you keep it on. You choose how long it is kept and can clear it at any time.
• Vocabulary: the words you add and the spellings the recognizer heard when you recorded them. The recordings themselves are not kept.
• Usage totals such as words dictated and estimated cost, shown on the home page.

3. What goes to your AI providers

Only while you use Murmint, and only to the providers you configured:

• Your audio goes to your speech provider to be transcribed. Murmint does not store it.
• The transcribed text goes to your formatting provider to be cleaned up, unless AI formatting is off or you use a model on your own computer.
• Your vocabulary words may be included so names are spelled correctly. You can turn this off in Settings.
• The name of the app you are typing into (for example "Gmail") may be included so the text is formatted for it. You can turn this off in Settings. Window titles are never sent.

Each provider handles this data under its own privacy policy and terms. Please read them. Murmint does not control how providers store or use data.

4. What we receive

Nothing from the app. Murmint does not send analytics, crash reports, or your dictations to us.

5. This website

• The website uses no cookies, no analytics and no advertising trackers, and loads no third-party scripts or fonts.
• Your light or dark theme choice is saved in your browser's local storage, and never leaves your browser.
• The company that hosts the website may keep standard server logs, such as IP address, time and page requested, for security and reliability.

6. Children

Murmint is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

7. Security

API keys are encrypted at rest with Windows, and connections to providers use HTTPS. No method of storage or transfer is perfectly secure, so keep your computer and your provider accounts protected.

8. Your choices

• Turn history off, or clear it, in Settings.
• Turn off sending vocabulary or app names in Settings.
• Use AI formatting off, or a local model, to keep text on your computer.
• Uninstall Murmint to remove the app. Your settings folder can be deleted afterwards to remove everything it stored.

Because we do not hold your data, requests to access or delete it are handled by you on your own computer, and by your AI providers for anything you sent to them.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
