Privacy Policy

Recó — Conversation Recording App · Last updated: June 7, 2026

Overview

Recó follows the BlueGlass Privacy Policy and our shared principles: we don't sell your data, we collect only what's needed, you only see your own data, our app uses AI to do its job, and we don't keep data longer than we need it. This page describes how those principles apply specifically to Recó.

The short version: By default, recording, transcription, and analysis happen entirely on your iPhone. Premium cloud analysis is optional — when you enable it (we ask first), a recording's audio and transcript are uploaded to our server and our AI providers for richer results; you can turn it off any time. We also collect optional, anonymous diagnostics. We never sell your data, and no account is required.

On-device by default

When you use Recó without enabling Premium cloud analysis, your audio recordings, transcripts, topics, and chats are created and stored only on your device, in the app's sandboxed storage. We do not receive them.

Note: on-device transcription uses Apple's Speech framework. For some languages or devices where on-device recognition isn't available, Apple's Speech framework may send audio to Apple for server-based recognition, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Premium cloud analysis (optional, with your consent)

If you subscribe to Premium and consent to cloud processing, then for recordings you choose to analyze with Premium:

The recording's audio is uploaded to our server and sent to OpenAI (Whisper) for transcription.
The resulting transcript is sent to Anthropic (Claude) for analysis.
Our server runs on Microsoft Azure.

This content is used only to produce your results. Our server deletes the processing task and its results approximately one hour after completion; we do not build a long-term store of your recordings or transcripts on the server. OpenAI and Anthropic process this content as our sub-processors under their API ("no-training") terms. You can disable cloud processing any time in Settings → Process on device only.

Diagnostics and usage analytics (optional)

When diagnostics are enabled (a toggle in Settings; on by default, with disclosure), Recó sends to our server:

Diagnostics: error categories/codes/messages used to diagnose failed recordings; app version, iOS version, device model.
Usage analytics: anonymous feature/screen events and performance metrics.
A random device identifier stored on your device, sent with the above so we can group events by device and prevent abuse. It is not your name, email, Apple ID, or advertising identifier, and is not used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Diagnostics and analytics never include your audio or transcript text. You can turn this off any time in Settings → Send diagnostics.

What we never collect

No account, email address, or phone number
No location data
No access to contacts, photos, or calendars
No advertising identifiers and no cross-app/website tracking

Subscriptions

Premium is an auto-renewable subscription sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the purchase; we receive an Apple-signed receipt proving your subscription is active. We do not receive your payment details.

Data retention

Data	Where	Retention
Audio, transcripts, topics, chat	Your device	Until you delete them or uninstall
Premium cloud processing task + result	Our server (Azure)	Deleted ~1 hour after processing
Audio/transcript sent to OpenAI / Anthropic	Sub-processors' API	Per their API terms (no training)
Diagnostics & usage analytics	Our server	Up to 90 days

Data deletion

Delete individual recordings inside the app.
Uninstalling the app removes all local Recó data from your device. One exception: a random device identifier used solely for rate limiting is kept in the device Keychain and may survive reinstalls; it contains no personal data and no content.
Cloud processing data is transient and removed automatically (see retention).
To request deletion of diagnostics associated with your device identifier, contact us below.

Sub-processors

Provider	Purpose	When
Apple	App Store purchases; on-device & fallback server speech recognition	Always / language-dependent
Microsoft Azure	Hosting our cloud analysis server	Premium cloud analysis
OpenAI	Audio transcription (Whisper)	Premium cloud analysis
Anthropic	Transcript analysis (Claude)	Premium cloud analysis

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, delete, or restrict processing of your data, and to opt out of analytics. In Recó:

Opt out of cloud processing: Settings → Process on device only.
Opt out of diagnostics/analytics: Settings → Send diagnostics (off).
Delete data: delete recordings in-app or uninstall.
