+# Privacy Policy for BeamScribe
+
+**Last Updated:** December 12, 2025
+
+Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how BeamScribe ("we", "us", or "our") handles your information when you use our mobile application.
+
+## 1. Information We Collect
+
+### Audio Data
+BeamScribe requires access to your device's microphone to perform its core function: real-time speech transcription.
+-   **On-Device Processing**: Whenever supported by your device hardware, audio is processed entirely on your device locally.
+-   **Apple Speech Recognition**: If on-device processing is not supported or if you are using specific languages, audio data may be sent to Apple's servers to be converted into text. This is handled via Apple's `SFSpeechRecognizer` API. We do not have access to this raw audio data, nor do we store it on our servers.
+
+### Transcripts
+The text generated from your speech (transcripts) is stored **locally on your device**.
+-   We do not upload your transcripts to any cloud servers.
+-   We do not analyze, mine, or sell your transcript data.
+
+### Local Connectivity Data
+BeamScribe uses Apple's Multipeer Connectivity framework to broadcast transcripts to other nearby devices.
+-   This data transmission occurs directly between devices (Peer-to-Peer) over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
+-   This data is not routed through the internet or any external servers.
+
+## 2. How We Use Your Information
+
+We use the information collected solely to provide the functionality of the app:
+-   **Audio**: To generate text transcripts in real-time.
+-   **Transcripts**: To display the text on your screen and broadcast it to connected Guest devices at your request.
+
+## 3. Data Retention
+
+All data is stored locally on your device. You have full control over your data.
+-   You can delete saved transcripts from the "History" section of the app at any time.
+-   Deleting the app will remove all locally stored transcripts.
+
+## 4. Third-Party Services
+
+BeamScribe relies on **Apple Inc.** for speech recognition services.
+-   By using BeamScribe, you are subject to Apple's Privacy Policy regarding Siri and Dictation.
+-   Apple may use audio data to improve its speech recognition services, depending on your device settings. You can manage this in your iOS System Settings under **Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements**.
+
+## 5. Children’s Privacy
+
+BeamScribe does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since the app does not require account creation and stores data locally, we do not maintain records of user age or identity.
