Overview
CloakView is built on a simple principle: your data stays yours. We operate no backend, maintain no accounts, and collect no telemetry. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use CloakView.
What Data We Collect
CloakView does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to CloakView servers. Specifically: • We do not collect meeting audio, transcripts, or personal information. • We do not create accounts or user profiles. • We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics. • We do not log your API usage or meeting details. The only data transmitted outside your Mac is to OpenAI's API, using your own API key, for the purpose of transcription and suggestion generation.
OpenAI API Usage
When you use CloakView with your OpenAI API key: • Your meeting audio is sent to OpenAI's API servers to be transcribed. • Context is sent to OpenAI to generate suggestions. • You are responsible for reviewing OpenAI's privacy policy at openai.com/privacy. • CloakView never stores, logs, or monitors these requests. • OpenAI's terms require that you own the rights to the audio being sent. You remain responsible for compliance. No data is retained by CloakView beyond the session.
Your API Key
Your OpenAI API key is: • Stored locally in macOS Keychain on your Mac only. • Never sent to CloakView servers (we do not have any). • Sent only to OpenAI's API when you use CloakView. • Your responsibility to protect. Do not share it or include it in support reports. • Revocable immediately in your OpenAI dashboard. We never see, log, or monitor your key in any way.
No Tracking or Analytics
CloakView does not include analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or usage tracking of any kind. We do not know how many users install the app, how often it is opened, or what features are used. This is intentional: it is a privacy feature, not a limitation.
Local Storage
All processing happens on your Mac. Meeting audio and transcripts remain local to your system unless you explicitly share them. CloakView does not backup, sync, or upload any data to cloud storage.
Third Parties
CloakView does not share your data with third parties. The only external service is OpenAI's API, which you invoke directly with your own key. We do not have access to, control over, or visibility into OpenAI's processing of your data beyond their published privacy policy.
Your Rights
Because we collect no data, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, or delete. Your data remains entirely on your device and under your control. If you believe OpenAI has retained data incorrectly, you may contact OpenAI directly. CloakView has no involvement.
App Updates
The app does not automatically check for or download updates. You control when and whether to update CloakView by visiting the GitHub Releases page.
