Privacy – Kaseta

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Who is responsible

The person responsible for the personal data described on this page – the controller, in the words of the GDPR – is the sole trader who makes Kaseta:

The app

Kaseta transcribes on your device. Your recordings, their transcripts and their titles stay in the app’s storage on your iPhone and are never uploaded for transcription. There is no account, no server of ours, and no analytics, advertising or tracking code in the app, so nothing of yours is tied to an identity anywhere. The offline transcription guide shows how to check that claim yourself.

Because nothing from the app reaches us, we cannot see, export or delete your recordings for you. They are on your phone and under your control: deleting a recording, or the app, deletes them.

If you have iPhone backup switched on, your recordings are included in your own iCloud backup, the same as everything else on your phone – that copy goes to your Apple account, never to us. That is a setting on the phone rather than something the app does, and you can exclude Kaseta from the backup in the iPhone’s iCloud settings. The app itself has no sync and no backup of its own.

Report a problem, in the app’s settings, shows you the whole report before anything is sent. It contains technical facts – the app and iOS version, durations, what succeeded and what failed – and never titles, transcripts, file names or audio. It reaches us only if you send it, as an email, and is then handled as described under Email.

Model downloads

The app downloads its recognition models from Hugging Face: the Fast model on first launch, and the Quality and speaker models when you first turn them on. As with any download, Hugging Face and its delivery network receive the request, including your IP address, and handle it under their own privacy policy. The request carries no audio, no transcript and no account, and we receive nothing from it. After the download, transcription needs no network at all.

Purchases and Apple

Payments are handled by Apple through the App Store, including anything that renews, and Apple is responsible for that data under its own privacy policy. A subscription is started, renewed and cancelled in your App Store account, not here. From Apple we receive only aggregated sales figures and – if you chose in the iPhone’s settings to share analytics with app developers – aggregated usage statistics and crash reports, which contain no recording content. We never see your name, your Apple Account or your payment details.

This website

This site is hosted by Vercel. To deliver a page, Vercel processes your IP address and the request itself, as every web host does. We count page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies. For each page view it records the page address, the referring page, an approximate location (country, region, city), the browser, the operating system and the type of device. It tells one visit from another only by a hash of the request, which it discards after 24 hours, and we see the results only as totals.

There are no cookies on this site, no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to, and no third-party trackers.

Email

The app asks for no email address, and this website collects none. If you write to hello@kasetaapp.com – including when you send a problem report – we receive your address, what you wrote and anything attached. Mail to that address is routed by Cloudflare and kept in a Google mailbox. We use it only to answer you, and delete the conversation 12 months after its last message, unless we need it longer to deal with a legal claim.

Please never send us a recording or a transcript. If one reaches us by mistake, we delete it without opening it.

Why we may process this data

• Answering your email and problem reports: our legitimate interest in replying to what you wrote (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), and, where your message is about using the app, performing the licence you hold for it (Article 6(1)(b)).
• Delivering this website and counting page views: our legitimate interest in running the site and knowing which pages are read (Article 6(1)(f)).

We do not sell personal data, build profiles or make automated decisions about anyone.

Transfers outside the EU

Vercel, Cloudflare and Google are based in the United States. Where their processing involves a transfer outside the European Union, it relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, as each provider offers.

Your rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict its processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to receive it in a portable form. Write to hello@kasetaapp.com; we answer within one month. For recordings and transcripts, which exist only on your phone, these rights are exercised on the phone itself.

You can also complain to a data protection authority: in Portugal, where we are established, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD, cnpd.pt), or the authority in the country where you live or work.

Changes

When what this page describes changes, we update it and the date at the top. The imprint has the same contact details, and the about page explains why we built the app this way.
