Privacy-first design. Echolex is built so that your audio and transcripts never leave your computer. Transcription happens entirely on your local hardware. We don't have a "cloud copy" of your work, we don't track how you use the app, and we don't profile our customers.
What we collect:
What we never touch:
How we handle your data:
Cookies: Our website uses minimal cookies — only what's necessary for security and basic analytics. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Your rights:
International transfers: Echolex is operated from Canada. Your email address and license records may be processed by service providers (Stripe, Pipedream, Resend) located in the United States and other countries. These providers maintain industry-standard data protection.
Children: Echolex is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy: If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify customers by email.
