Privacy Policy

FR-1 does not collect any data from you. Any data and settings are saved to your device only.

Your device's microphone is used to record audio. All analysis and speech transcription run locally and privately on your device — your audio is never uploaded or sent anywhere.

When you enable location tagging, FR-1 uses your phone's location once during each recording to tag the recording; location metadata is only stored alongside your recording and never leaves your phone.
