Talkenizer Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

Talkenizer is a Mac app that edits recorded lessons. It is built so that your recordings never leave your Mac.

What stays on your Mac

• Your videos, sound recordings, transcripts and every edit are stored in libraries on your Mac, in the folders you choose. Talkenizer never uploads them, never copies them to a server and has no account to sign in to.
• Speech recognition runs on your Mac, using the speech recognition built into macOS. The first time you transcribe a language, macOS may download that language's speech model from Apple; your recordings are not sent with that request.
• Talkenizer reads your recordings' metadata, such as the recording time and the camera's name, to put them in order. This stays in your library.

What Talkenizer keeps in your iCloud account

Talkenizer offers a free trial measured in exported minutes. To keep that count across your Macs, it stores the lengths of the videos you export in your own iCloud account, in storage only Talkenizer on your Macs can read. The names and contents of those videos stay on your Mac. We cannot read this record.

What we collect

Nothing. Talkenizer sends no analytics, no crash reports of its own, no identifiers and no usage data to us or to anyone else. Its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

Purchases

Purchases are made through the Mac App Store and handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We receive no payment details and no personal data from a purchase.

Beta versions

If you use Talkenizer through TestFlight, Apple collects crash logs and basic usage data under the TestFlight terms, and you can turn that sharing off in TestFlight. Talkenizer itself still sends nothing.

Changes

If Talkenizer ever collects anything, this page will say what, why and how to opt out before that version ships.
