Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Fovea ("Fovea" or "Company") collects, uses, and handles your personal data when you use our macOS application and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Customer Content You Provide

Your voice inputs, text selections, screenshots, and other contextual information are processed in real time by Fovea and/or third-party AI providers to provide the requested result, and are immediately discarded once the result is returned to your device. No voice recordings, prompt content, or screen context data are stored on our servers after processing.

Your device may store a local session history — including audio, screenshots, and generated prompts — until you choose to delete it. This local data is not automatically uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly re-submit a previous request.

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address for authentication and usage tracking. We also collect usage metrics such as prompt count and quota usage to manage your subscription.

Diagnostic Information

If you voluntarily submit a diagnostic report, we collect application logs, system information, and an anonymous identifier to help resolve issues. Diagnostic data is only uploaded when you manually trigger it. It does not include your voice recordings, screenshots, prompt content, or any personally identifiable information beyond the anonymous identifier.

Usage Data

We may collect information related to how you interact with the Services, including device type, app version, and performance metrics. This data is used to improve the Services and is not linked to your prompt content.

Use of Data

Fovea uses the information we collect for the following purposes:

Service operation — Your voice data and contextual information are processed in real time and are not retained after delivering results to your device.

Account management — Managing your subscription, authentication, and usage quotas.

Communication — Responding to support requests and sending service-related notifications.

Improvement — Analyzing usage patterns and diagnostic reports to improve the Services.

Compliance — Meeting applicable legal obligations.

Data We Do NOT Collect

Fovea does not retain your voice recordings, screenshots, or prompt content on its servers after processing.

Fovea does not use your content to train its own models.

We do not track your browsing history.

We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for advertising.

Sharing With Others

We may share your information with the following parties:

AI service providers — When you use Fovea's features, your prompt content may be sent to third-party AI providers to generate responses. These providers process your data under their own terms, privacy policies, and retention settings. Where provider features intended to limit data retention are available, Fovea enables them where applicable.

Infrastructure providers — We use third-party services for authentication, data storage, and error tracking. These providers have access to your data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to use it for any other purpose.

Legal compliance — We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.

Retention of Data

Voice and context data — Processed in real time and immediately discarded once the result is returned to your device.

Local session history — Stored on your device until you choose to delete it.

Account and billing information — Retained as necessary to provide Services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Diagnostic reports — Retained only as needed to resolve the reported issue.

Permissions We Request

Microphone — Required for voice input.

Accessibility — Required to read content from your active applications and deliver results to AI tools.

Screen Recording — Required to capture screen context for your prompts.

How We Secure Your Information

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We will notify you of any significant changes that reduce your rights. Changes do not apply retroactively.
