NuType Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 14, 2026

NuType is designed for local-first voice input. Dictation starts only when you trigger it, and your speech, text, and provider settings stay under your control.

Audio recording

NuType uses the microphone only when you start dictation with your configured shortcut or control. It does not listen continuously in the background for general conversation.

Local speech and text data

Transcripts, cleanup history, dictionary entries, and app settings are designed to remain on your device unless you choose a feature or provider that sends data elsewhere.

External providers you configure

If you configure an external speech recognition or AI provider, audio or text required for that feature may be sent directly from your device to that provider. The provider's privacy policy and terms apply.

Permissions

NuType may request microphone, speech recognition, accessibility, input monitoring, or related macOS permissions so it can transcribe speech and insert cleaned text into the current app.

No ads, analytics, or tracking

NuType does not include third-party advertising SDKs, third-party analytics SDKs, or cross-app tracking technologies.
