Privacy Policy

In one sentence

We use your data only to (1) run the Dryer service itself (transcription, organization, storage, returning results) and (2) compute subscription usage and billing.

We do not train models, do not sell data, do not show ads, and do not run marketing trackers.

What we collect

  • Account info
    When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email, display name, and Firebase account ID. If you pick Apple's "Hide My Email," we only see the Apple relay address.
  • Content you create
    Audio files, transcripts, text you type, images and links you upload, and the AI workgroup's outputs based on them.
  • Device & session
    Request timezone and device type (web / iPhone / Watch). If you grant location permission, we record coarse location so notes carry their context. Location can be turned off in your system settings at any time.
  • Usage data
    Note count, AI processing count, subscription state. Used to (a) keep usage within your subscription limits, (b) prevent abuse.

How we use it

  • Run the service
    Pass your input to AI for processing, store results, and return them to you on demand.
  • Subscription & billing
    Track subscription state and usage. iOS payments are processed by Apple via the App Store.
  • Errors & abuse
    Diagnose crashes and detect abuse. Logs are kept only as long as needed.

We will not use your content to train any model, will not sell your content to third parties, and will not use it for ad targeting.

Who we share with (data processors)

To make Dryer run, the services below have access to portions of your data. Each has signed a DPA prohibiting use of your data for training or their own purposes:

  • OpenAI
    Audio transcription (Whisper), text processing (generating replies, organizing, connecting ideas), and image generation. Content is not used to train models.
  • Cloudflare R2
    Stores your uploaded audio, images, and other files.
  • Firebase Authentication (Google · Apple)
    Account and sign-in management. Sign in with Apple is verified directly by Apple.
  • Railway
    Server hosting and database (PostgreSQL).
  • Apple (In-App Purchase)
    iOS subscription billing. Apple does not share your payment information with us — we only receive Apple-issued transaction receipts.

We will not share your data with any third party outside the list above, except: (a) with your explicit consent, or (b) as required by law.

Retention & deletion

While your account is active, your content stays available so you can access it.

You can delete your account from the iOS app at Settings → Danger zone → Delete account; on submit, we immediately erase all your content from the primary database and file storage, and sign out your Firebase account. Copies in backup systems are overwritten within the normal backup cycle, no longer than 30 days.

If you only access the web, you can email us at the address below to request deletion — we'll complete it within 7 days.

Your rights

  • Access
    View any content you've created.
  • Export
    Contact us — we'll package up your data.
  • Delete
    Delete individual notes, or request a full account deletion.
  • Correct
    Contact us to correct inaccurate account info.

Security

Data in transit is encrypted with HTTPS; data at rest uses the cloud provider's default encryption. Only the necessary server services have database access.

No system is perfectly secure. If a data incident occurs, we'll notify affected users as required by law.

International transfers

Our processors are primarily in the US and EU. Using Dryer means you agree that your data may be transferred to and processed in these regions.

Children

Dryer is not for users under 13. If we discover data from a child under 13 was collected by mistake, we'll delete it immediately.

Changes

For material changes, we'll notify you in-app or by email before the new policy takes effect. Minor wording updates go straight onto this page along with a new "Last updated" date.
