Privacy Policy
Effective date: 17 May 2026
Lispr is a voice-to-text app for macOS. This policy explains, in plain terms, what data the Lispr app and the lispr.ai website handle — and, just as importantly, what they don't.
1.Who we are
Lispr is operated by Codebridge Technology, Inc. ("Codebridge", "we", "us"), 8 The Green, Suite 12848, Dover, DE 19901, United States. For any privacy question, contact legal@lispr.ai.
2.How the Lispr app handles your voice
This is the heart of it, so we'll be specific:
- When you hold the activation key, Lispr records a short audio clip locally on your Mac.
- When you release the key, that clip is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection through our transcription proxy to Groq, Inc., which runs the Whisper speech-recognition model and returns the recognized text.
- The text is inserted at your cursor. That's the whole cycle.
- By default we do not store your audio or your transcripts on our servers. Our proxy holds the audio only momentarily, in memory, to forward it for transcription — then discards it. (The single exception is the optional sharing setting below, which is off unless you turn it on.)
- Lispr has no account and no sign-up. It does not build a profile of you.
Audio sent for transcription is processed by Groq under Groq's own terms and privacy policy. We do not control how Groq processes it — please review Groq's privacy policy.
Optional: sharing your recordings. Settings includes a sharing option — "Share recordings to improve" — that is off by default. If — and only if — you turn it on, Lispr may keep a copy of some of your dictation recordings and their transcripts on our servers and use them to improve transcription accuracy and the speech model. This is the only case in which your audio or transcripts are retained. You can switch it back off at any time in Settings (we stop keeping new recordings immediately), and you can ask us to delete what was already collected by emailing legal@lispr.ai. The legal basis is your consent, which you give by enabling the setting and may withdraw at any time.
Diagnostics & usage data. By default, the Lispr app sends us technical diagnostics and usage data with each request — such as the app version, the dictation language code, transcription speed (latency), success/error status, microphone type, recording length, and a random per-install identifier that is not linked to your name or any account. This helps us fix bugs, keep dictation fast, and decide which languages and platforms to support. It contains no audio and no transcript text. You can turn it off in Settings → Diagnostics (the "Diagnostics & usage stats" switch); when it is off, the app sends none of it. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating, securing and improving the app.
3.macOS permissions
Lispr asks for two macOS permissions, each used only for its stated purpose, all locally on your Mac:
- Microphone — to record your voice while you hold the key.
- Accessibility — to insert the recognized text into the app you're using.
Lispr does not log your keystrokes or read other apps' contents.
4.The lispr.ai website
- Hosting. The site runs on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes standard request data (such as your IP address and browser type) to serve and protect the site.
- Cookies. The site sets functional cookies —
lispr-langto remember your chosen language, andlispr-consentto remember your cookie choice. Google Analytics (see below) sets analytics cookies; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland these are set only after you accept them in our consent banner. We do not use advertising cookies. - Language. The site may read your browser's language setting to send you to a page in that language. This is processed in transit and not stored.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how the site is used. It collects usage data — such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and a truncated IP address — using cookies and similar technologies, so we can improve the site. See Google's Privacy Policy; you can opt out with Google's opt-out browser add-on. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked to consent before any analytics cookies are set — analytics stays off until you accept. You can change your choice at any time: .
5.What we don't do
We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. We don't create advertising profiles. We don't use your audio or transcripts to train any model — unless you turn on the optional "Share recordings to improve" setting (off by default; see section 2).
6.Third parties
- Groq, Inc. — speech transcription.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — website hosting, content delivery, and the infrastructure for the transcription proxy.
- Google LLC — website analytics (Google Analytics).
7.Retention & international transfers
By default we do not retain your audio or transcripts. The one exception is recordings and transcripts you choose to share via the optional "Share recordings to improve" setting (off by default, see section 2): we keep those until you ask us to delete them or we no longer need them to improve the service. Website request logs are handled by Cloudflare under its own practices. Transcription is performed by Groq, which may process data in the United States or other countries.
8.Your rights
Depending on where you live — for example, the EEA and UK under the GDPR, or California under the CCPA/CPRA — you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to object to certain processing. Lispr works without accounts; aside from the optional "Share recordings to improve" setting, we do not store your audio or transcripts, and the diagnostics & usage data we collect by default is tied only to a random per-install identifier — so we hold very little personal data about you. You can turn diagnostics off, and if you opted into recordings sharing you can withdraw consent in Settings and request deletion of what was collected. For any request or question, contact legal@lispr.ai and we will respond as required by applicable law.
9.Children
Lispr is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
