Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how FastProducts LLC (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the WhisperJot desktop applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux (the "Software"), the website at https://whisperjot.com (the "Website"), and related services (collectively, the "Service"). WhisperJot is a product of FastProducts LLC. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Privacy at a Glance

WhisperJot is built to process your voice entirely on your device:

  • Your audio is captured, transcribed, and discarded locally. We never receive your audio.
  • Transcripts are stored only in a local database on your machine, under your control; local history can be disabled or cleared at any time in Settings.
  • Optional LLM cleanup talks only to a local server on your own machine (127.0.0.1) and never leaves it.
  • The Software contains no telemetry, no analytics, and no crash reporting.
  • Text you dictate is transmitted to us only if you explicitly choose to send an individual cleanup report (described below).

The remainder of this Privacy Policy describes the limited information we do collect — primarily if you create an account or contact us — and how we handle it.

1. Information We Collect

a. Information you provide directly

  • Account information. If you create an account (for example, to download the Software or sign in within the app), our identity provider, Clerk, collects and processes your email address and authentication credentials on our behalf. We store your email address, an account identifier, your email-verification and terms-acceptance status, and your marketing opt-in preference.
  • Opt-in cleanup reports. The Software lets you optionally report a transcription cleanup result to help improve our cleanup rules. A report is sent only after you explicitly confirm it for that specific utterance, and contains the raw and cleaned transcription text of that utterance (and any note you add), along with your platform, app version, and rule-pack version. If you never use this feature, no dictated text ever reaches us.
  • Communications. If you email us for support or feedback, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
  • Any other information you voluntarily submit to us.

b. Information collected automatically

  • Server logs. When you visit the Website or the Software contacts our servers (for example, to check for updated cleanup rule packs), our servers record standard log data such as IP address, browser or client type, operating system, requested pages, and timestamps. Logs are kept for a limited period for security and debugging.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. See Section 3 below.

The Software itself does not automatically collect or transmit usage data, analytics, device identifiers, or crash reports.

c. Information from third parties

  • Sign-in providers. If you sign in using a third-party provider (such as Google), we receive basic profile information from that provider, such as your email address, as permitted by your settings with that provider.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service;
  • Authenticate you and manage your account;
  • Improve the Service, including improving transcription cleanup rules from opt-in reports;
  • Send administrative communications, such as service updates and security notices;
  • Send marketing communications, only where you have opted in, with the ability to opt out at any time;
  • Respond to inquiries and provide support;
  • Monitor for, detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorized activity;
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service;
  • Develop new products, services, features, and functionality; and
  • For any other purpose disclosed to you at the time of collection or with your consent.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Website uses only strictly necessary cookies:

  • Session and security cookies set by our web framework (session management and CSRF protection);
  • Authentication cookies set by our identity provider, Clerk, when you sign in or out.

We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies on the Website, and the Software sets no cookies at all. By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this section. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but signing in and other features may not function without them.

4. Third-Party Services

We use a small number of third-party services to operate the Service:

  • Clerk (identity and authentication) — processes your email address, credentials, sign-in events, and authentication cookies, and sends transactional account emails (such as verification and password reset) on our behalf.
  • Google — Google Fonts serves font files to the Website (Google receives your IP address as part of serving them), and Google acts as a sign-in provider if you choose to sign in with Google.
  • Hugging Face and GitHub — the Software downloads speech-recognition and voice-activity models from these content-delivery services on first use; they receive your IP address as part of serving the downloads.
  • Infrastructure providers — our website hosting and database providers process data on our behalf as needed to run the Service.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our Service.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers. With third parties that perform services on our behalf (such as those listed in Section 4), under obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy;
  • Legal compliance. When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;
  • Protection of rights. To enforce our Terms of Service, or to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of the Company, our users, or the public;
  • Business transfers. In connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, in which case information may be transferred as a business asset;
  • With consent. When you have given explicit consent to a disclosure;
  • Aggregated or anonymized data. We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, and may retain and use such data for any purpose.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. After account deletion, we may retain certain information as required by law, to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or for legitimate business purposes. We may retain aggregated or anonymized data indefinitely. Local data stored by the Software on your device (such as dictation history) is under your control and is never held by us.

7. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information, including transport encryption for connections to our servers. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We are not responsible for unauthorized access to your information that occurs despite our reasonable security measures. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and of your own device, including any local dictation history stored on it.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@fastproducts.io.

9. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States, and the limited information we collect is processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to such countries. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate information;
  • Deletion — request deletion of your personal information (you can also delete your account directly through your account settings);
  • Portability — request transfer of your information in a machine-readable format;
  • Objection — object to certain processing activities, including marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@fastproducts.io. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, and we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

11. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, the right to opt out of its sale or sharing, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us at info@fastproducts.io.

12. European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (providing the Service and your account), our legitimate interests (securing and improving the Service), your consent (marketing communications and opt-in cleanup reports), and compliance with legal obligations. You have the rights described in Section 10, as well as the right to withdraw consent at any time and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise your GDPR rights, contact us at info@fastproducts.io.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes are effective when posted on this page, with the "Last updated" date revised accordingly. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
