Privacy Policy

Transcript Shield processes your transcripts entirely in your browser, so we collect very little and promise even less fine print. These pages explain how the service works, what information we handle, and your rights when using it.

How Transcript Shield Processes Your Transcripts

Transcript Shield performs transcript cleaning, PII detection, and redaction locally in your browser.

When you open a transcript:

  • Transcript content is processed on your device.

  • Transcript content is not transmitted to Transcript Shield during processing.

  • Redaction results remain on your device until you choose to export them.

Because transcript content is processed locally, Transcript Shield cannot access or recover its contents as part of the cleaning process.

Information We Collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, organization, and billing details. Payment information is processed by our payment provider and is not stored by Transcript Shield.

Workspace settings

We store the information needed to manage your workspace across sessions, including workspace settings and custom dictionary terms.

Technical and usage information

We collect limited technical information such as feature usage, browser and device details, and error reports to operate, secure, and improve the service. This information does not include transcript content.

What We Do Not Collect

Transcript Shield does not collect or store:

  • Transcript content

  • Detected or redacted PII

  • Speaker labels or diarization data

  • Exported transcript files

How We Use Your Information

We use account and technical information to provide, maintain, secure, and improve Transcript Shield, process payments, and provide customer support.

We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising or AI model training.

Data Sharing

We share account information only with trusted service providers that help us operate Transcript Shield, including infrastructure providers, analytics services, and payment processors.

These providers are contractually required to protect your information and only receive the data necessary to provide their services. Transcript content processed locally in your browser is not shared with them.

Data Ownership and Control

Transcript content remains under your control throughout the processing workflow. Account information may be updated or deleted at any time from your account settings or by contacting us.

If you request account deletion, we will remove your account information from our active systems within a reasonable timeframe, subject to standard backup retention practices.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, update, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, or to restrict certain processing activities.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@transcriptshield.com

Data Retention

We retain account information only for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain the security of our platform.

Transcript content is processed locally and is not retained by Transcript Shield as part of the cleaning workflow.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Transcript Shield or applicable laws. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the service before they take effect.
