Smarita Privacy Policy
Effective January 1, 2027
This policy covers the Smarita iPhone app (“Smarita”, “we”). Smarita turns your recordings into text on your iPhone. The app doesn’t send us your recordings, transcripts or speaker names: transcription and speaker finding happen on your iPhone.
What the app doesn’t do
- No account. You never sign up or sign in.
- No uploading. Your recordings, transcripts and speaker names are never sent to us or to anyone else.
- No tracking. The app has no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.
Where your recordings are kept
Everything you record or import, and every transcript, stays in Smarita’s own storage on your iPhone. Recording, transcribing, finding speakers, searching and editing all happen on the iPhone itself.
If iCloud Backup is on, or you back up your iPhone to a computer, Apple may include Smarita’s recordings in that backup, depending on your backup settings. That’s controlled by your iPhone, not by Smarita.
Downloads
To transcribe on your iPhone, Smarita may download speech models:
- Apple Speech: iOS downloads its own speech language files from Apple when needed.
- Whisper and speaker finding: Smarita downloads Whisper and the speaker models from Hugging Face, where their makers publish them.
Like any download, the provider can receive network information, such as your device’s internet address and which model was requested. No recording, transcript or other content of yours is included in a model download.
Microphone
Smarita asks for the microphone only to record, and uses it only while you’re recording.
Sharing and exporting
Smarita sends a recording or transcript somewhere only when you choose to, using Share or Export. It then goes where you send it, under that app’s or person’s privacy practices.
Deleting
Deleting a recording removes its audio and transcript from the app after the brief period when you can tap Undo. Deleting the app removes all of them. Deleting from the app doesn’t remove copies already in your iPhone’s backups, or copies you’ve exported or shared.
Contacting us and our website
If you email us, we receive your email address and your message, and use them only to reply.
Our website, smarita.antareeksh.com, has no advertising. It uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page visits without cookies and without tracking you across sites. Like any website, its hosting provider processes standard request information, such as your internet address, to deliver the pages.
Children
The app doesn’t collect data from anyone, including children.
