Privacy policy

Effective 14 November 2026. Applies to the Otofumi app for iPhone and iPad and to this website.

Who we are

Otofumi is made by SmallTownDev. You can reach us at support@otofumi.com.

What we collect

Nothing. The app itself sends no personal data, usage data, diagnostics, identifiers or location to us or to anyone else. It contains no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Its App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected”.

Crash reports and statistics from Apple

If you turn on Share With App Developers in iOS Settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share crash reports and basic usage statistics for Otofumi with us. Apple collects these, not the app, and makes them available to us in App Store Connect; Apple says it may provide them in aggregated or de-identified form. We use them only to find and fix problems in the app. You can turn the setting off at any time. Apple's handling is described in Apple's Device Analytics & Privacy page.

What the app stores, and where

The app stores these only on your device, inside the app's own storage:

• your recordings and the audio of files you import;
• transcripts, your edits, summaries and action items;
• titles, folders, favourites and settings.

We have no copy and no way to see them. They are part of your device's normal backup (to iCloud or a computer, if you use backups), which Apple or your computer handles under its own terms.

Network connections

Otofumi has no server of its own and never sends your audio or text over the internet. The only connections it makes are to Apple:

• App Store (StoreKit): to buy Pro, restore it and confirm it. Apple processes the payment; we receive no payment or contact details.
• Speech models: the first time you transcribe in a language, iOS downloads that language's speech model from Apple. After that, transcription runs on the device without a connection.

Transcription and summaries run on your device with Apple's on-device engines. Apple's handling of these connections is described in Apple's privacy policy.

Permissions

• Microphone: asked the first time you tap Record, and used only to make your recordings.
• Face ID or passcode: only if you turn on app lock. iOS checks it; the app learns only whether the check passed.

The app asks for no other permissions.

When you share or export

When you copy, share or export a transcript or recording, it goes only to the app or place you choose. From then on, that app's or service's privacy policy applies.

When you email support

If you email us, we receive your email address and what you write. The app's “Contact support” option can attach a diagnostics text file that you can read before you send it. It contains your device model, iOS version, app version, installed transcription languages, the state of transcription jobs and recent error codes. It never contains audio or transcript text.

We use support emails only to answer you, we never share or sell them, and we delete them when you ask.

Recording other people

Recording people may require their consent where you live. You are responsible for that; the app reminds you the first time you record. Otofumi does not record phone calls.

Deleting your data

• Delete a recording in the app to remove its audio and text, or delete only the audio and keep the text.
• Delete everything from the app's settings.
• Deleting the app removes all of its data from the device. Copies inside your existing backups follow your backup settings.

Children

The app is rated 4+. It collects no data from anyone, children included.

This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics, trackers, external fonts or third-party scripts. It is served by Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc.), which may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, time and the page requested) to run and protect the service. We do not use those logs to identify you.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will publish the new version on this page with a new effective date. If the app ever starts to collect data, the policy and the App Store privacy label will say so before that version is released.
