On‑device by design. Nothing to collect. Nothing to leak.
Voice Type runs locally on macOS. We do not operate an ingestion API, a cloud store, or usage analytics. For most enterprises this is the simplest security posture: eliminate egress during dictation.
HIPAA applies to covered entities and their business associates when Protected Health Information (PHI) is created, received, maintained, or transmitted. Because Voice Type performs dictation on device and we do not receive PHI, we are generally not a Business Associate and a BAA is not applicable.
SOC 2 audits evaluate controls for systems that process customer data. We do not run a customer data processing service for the app. If your vendor intake requires SOC 2 documents, we provide a short security whitepaper, an architecture diagram, and a completed minimal‑data vendor questionnaire showing “no customer data stored or processed by the vendor.”
