Privacy Policy

Your audio and video never leave your device
Transcription runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. There is no upload endpoint on this service — not a policy choice, a property of how it is built. Your media files, and the transcripts produced from them, are never sent to us, never stored by us, and never used to train anything. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab, and transcribe a file.
The only large download is the speech model itself, which travels in the opposite direction — from our CDN to your browser, where it is cached.
What is stored on your device
- Origin Private File System — the speech model (roughly 22–117 MB depending on language), so later visits need no download. Clearing site data removes it.
- localStorage (
rpt_model_interest_v1_*) — whether you clicked the optional larger-model interest button for a language, so you are not asked to vote twice.
Usage statistics
We count how the tool is used so we can tell whether it works on real files and real devices. These records contain no file names, no audio, no transcripts, and no IP addresses:
- which page was opened, and the hostname of the page you came from
- browser, operating system, desktop or mobile, CPU core count, device memory
- browser language (first five characters, e.g.
de-DE) - country, and the name of the network operator (for example "Deutsche Telekom") — used to tell automated traffic apart from people
- performance figures: audio length, processing time, model download size, whether the model came from cache, and whether an export was used
- whether you saw or clicked the optional larger-model interest card, and for which audio language; this does not enable or download another model
This goes to Cloudflare Analytics Engine under our own domain.
Optional feedback
After you copy or export a completed transcript, you may choose to send us written feedback. We send only the text you enter, a random submission ID and the page language. We do not attach your audio or video, transcript, file name, IP address, or browser details. Feedback is stored in a private Cloudflare KV namespace for up to 90 days, then expires automatically. Please do not enter confidential or personal information. This is optional and has no effect on transcription.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (property G-8SBCXD3QGE) to count visits and usage.
Its script sets first-party analytics cookies, including _ga and
_ga_*, to distinguish visitors and sessions. We do not show a cookie consent
dialog. Advertising storage, ad personalization and Google signals are disabled. You can
block these cookies in your browser or clear site data; doing so may affect the accuracy
of our analytics. The separate first-party usage counters above do not use a cookie or
session identifier.
Third parties that see a request
- Cloudflare — hosts the site and the speech models. As with any web host, it processes your IP address in order to deliver the page.
- Google Fonts — the page loads the Poppins typeface from
fonts.googleapis.comandfonts.gstatic.com, so Google receives your IP address as part of that request. - Google Analytics — receives the analytics requests described above.
No accounts, no email list
The tool needs no account and asks for no personal details. Optional feedback may contain personal information if you choose to write it, so please avoid including it. If you email support, we keep that correspondence in order to answer it, and for nothing else.
Children
The service is not directed at children and collects no information that would identify anyone, of any age.
Your rights
We hold no account data, so there is normally nothing personal to export or delete. The usage statistics above cannot be traced back to an individual. If you believe we hold something about you, write to support@redpandatranscribe.com and we will answer. Under the GDPR you may also complain to your national supervisory authority.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes with it.
