Every switch,
in one place.

The policy says what we do. This says what you can change, where the control is, and what happens the moment you use it.

Four of these
take one tap.

None of them is a support request, and none of them needs our permission.

ControlWhere it isWhat it does
Privacy ModeSettings → PrivacyYour audio and transcripts are transcribed and then discarded. Nothing is kept on our servers, and no dictation history is kept on your device.
Screen VisionSettingsOff until you turn it on. With it off, no picture of your screen is ever captured. Turning it off again stops capture immediately.
Let an admin read your wordsYour account pageOff by default, and only you can switch it. No administrator can turn it on for you, and you can turn it off again whenever you like.
Delete everythingSettings → AccountRemoves the account and every dictation, transcript and recording held for it. Immediate, and it does not come back.
Conversation memorySay “bhool jao”Clears the last few Agent Mode requests straight away. It expires by itself after five minutes in any case.
PermissionsYour operating systemMicrophone, notifications, overlay, screen recording and accessibility can each be revoked at any time on macOS, Windows and Android. Some features stop working without them.

And for
how long.

The switch you set in Settings decides the first two rows. The rest are the same either way.

 Privacy ModeStandard
Your audioNever written to diskDeleted after 60 days
Your transcriptsNever written to diskKept while the account exists, and may improve Speech's own accuracy and models
Account and usage recordsKept while the account existsCounts and timings, never content
Pictures Agent Mode madeOne yearOne year
Bug reports you sentOne yearOne year
Database backups60 days in S314 most recent on the server

Your transcripts are never sold, and never used to train anybody else's models. The privacy policy is the full version of this table, with the reasoning attached.

By default,
only you.

Including us. This is the part most worth checking against what other tools tell you.

Your company's administrator

Sees when you dictated, into which kind of app, for how long, how many words, and whether it worked. Not the words, and not the audio.

Unless you say otherwise

They can read your words only if you switch that on yourself, from your own account page. Nobody can set it for you.

And if we ever look

Every time anyone here opens another person's transcript or plays their audio, an append-only log records who, whose, when and from where. Reads, not only changes.

Set it once,
then forget it.

Privacy Mode is a switch, not a plan. It is on the free tier and the enterprise contract alike.
