NoteAlchemy is designed around one promise: your content never leaves your Mac. This policy explains, plainly, what that means.
Nothing. NoteAlchemy has no account system, no analytics, no crash reporting to us, and no telemetry. We - the developer, bee2.io LLC - never receive your recordings, transcripts, notes, summaries, tags, or any usage data.
Everything you create in NoteAlchemy - imported audio, recorded audio, transcripts, summaries, notes, tags, speaker labels/signatures, meeting minutes, action items, imported documents, captures, and bilingual variants - is stored locally inside the app's sandbox container on your Mac, protected by the operating system's file protections. Deleting the app removes all of this data. Nothing is stored on any server, because there is no server.
NoteAlchemy does not include the network client entitlement and makes no network connections of its own. The only exceptions are provided by Apple and the operating system, not by us:
If you choose to record, macOS asks for microphone permission the first time. Recording only happens when you tap record. Audio is written to a local file and transcribed on-device. We never receive it.
Meeting Pro can record system audio only after you explicitly press its record button and grant macOS Screen Recording access. The app displays a consent and recording-law reminder before capture. Audio is written into the local app container and is never transmitted. Interactive samples disable this feature and never request the permission.
Pack samples use bundled synthetic data in a disposable temporary container. They never open your real library, block external import and hardware capture, and delete their data when the sample closes. Any reduced sample export remains inside that temporary container.
NoteAlchemy relies only on Apple's operating-system frameworks (Speech, Foundation Models, NaturalLanguage, AVFoundation, ScreenCaptureKit, Translation, Vision, PDFKit, StoreKit) and the system SQLite library. No third-party SDKs, analytics, or advertising networks are included.
NoteAlchemy is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed at children. Because we collect no data, we collect no data from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will ship with the app and be dated above.

This Mac app contains no advertising of any kind: no ad SDK, no banner or full-window promotional message, no interstitial, no cross-app identifier, no tracking, no targeting, and no personal profile. Optional one-time packs are presented only in the app's own Packs section, which you open yourself, and on a locked workspace you have chosen to visit.
