What we collect
Nothing. ParlaParla does not operate any servers, does not run any analytics, and does not transmit any usage data. The app runs entirely on your Mac.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
ParlaParla is built so that privacy isn't a promise — it's an architectural fact. This policy explains exactly what data the app handles, what it doesn't, and what your rights are.
How your audio is handled
When you dictate, audio is recorded locally and sent directly from your Mac to OpenAI's API using your own API key. The audio does not pass through any ParlaParla server — we don't have any. Once OpenAI returns the transcription, the audio is discarded. See OpenAI's API data policy for details on how they handle it (short version: API data is not used to train their models).
How your API key is stored
Your OpenAI API key is stored exclusively in the macOS Keychain, which is encrypted at rest and accessible only to ParlaParla. The key never leaves your Mac except when the app makes an authenticated request to OpenAI's API on your behalf.
Analytics and telemetry
There is none. No crash reporting, no event tracking, no pings. This marketing website uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization to understand aggregate traffic — the app itself uses nothing.
Your rights
Because we do not collect personal data, there is typically nothing to export or delete. If you believe we hold data about you, or if you'd like to exercise a GDPR or CCPA right, email hello@parlaparla.io and we'll respond within 30 days.
