Privacy Policy
dot+ records and analyzes your meetings. This policy explains what data the app
handles, what leaves your device, and what stays on it — most processing happens on your device.
Summary
- Your recordings are captured and stored on your device.
- To produce summaries, action items, and notes, each recording's audio is sent to
Google's Vertex AI (Gemini) for analysis. This is the only content that leaves your device.
- We use Firebase for app integrity (App Check) and to give each install an
account identifier (Anonymous Authentication, or Sign in with Apple if you choose it).
- We do not use analytics or advertising SDKs, track you across other apps or
websites, or sell or share your data with data brokers.
- You can delete everything from within the app at any time
(Settings → Edit Profile → Delete User).
What we process, and where
Stays on your device
- Audio recordings of your meetings.
- On-device transcripts produced by Apple Speech and WhisperKit.
- Speaker diarization (who spoke when), computed on-device.
- Your knowledge base of processed meetings, stored encrypted on the device.
- Contacts you import or create — used only to label speakers; not transmitted off the device.
- Location (optional) — an approximate location tag stored with the meeting on your device.
Sent off your device
- Audio + working transcript → Google Vertex AI (Gemini). Sent so Gemini can
generate the summary, key points, action items, and knowledge document. Processed to return your
results under Google Cloud's data-processing terms; used only to provide the app's functionality.
- App integrity & identity → Firebase (Google). App Check attests requests come
from a genuine copy of the app; Authentication issues an account identifier (anonymous by default;
your name and email if you use Sign in with Apple).
We do not run analytics, crash-tracking, or advertising SDKs, and the app's analytics collection is disabled.
Sign in with Apple
If you sign in with Apple, Apple may share your name and email with the app so it can create your
account. You can choose to hide your email (Apple relays it). If you continue as a guest, no name or
email is collected.
Permissions
- Microphone — to record meetings.
- Speech Recognition — for on-device transcription.
- Contacts — to link speakers to people you know (stays on device).
- Location (optional) — to tag a recording's location.
- Calendars (optional) — to show and prepare for upcoming meetings.
- Face ID / passcode (optional) — to lock the app.
You can change or revoke any of these in iOS Settings.
Data retention & deletion
Your data lives on your device — dot+ has no server that stores your meetings. Deleting a meeting
removes its recording, transcript, and knowledge document. Delete User (Settings →
Edit Profile) permanently erases all meetings, recordings, contacts, knowledge base, and account
credentials from the device. Audio sent to Google for a given analysis is processed to return your
results and is subject to Google Cloud's retention terms; we do not retain it on a server of our own.
Children
dot+ is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region).
Changes
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date.
