ReelCaption Studio is a fully local, on-device Mac application. Your privacy is protected by design: the app does not have network access and does not collect, transmit, or share any data.

What we collect

Nothing. ReelCaption Studio collects no personal data, no usage analytics, and no telemetry. There is no account and no sign-in.

Your content stays on your Mac

• Video clips you import are copied into the app's private sandbox container for processing. Your original files are never modified or overwritten.
• Transcription (Apple's on-device Speech framework), caption rendering, silence detection, and video export all run locally on your Mac.
• If you use Screen & Cursor Recorder, selected display/window frames, cursor paths, system audio, optional microphone audio, and optional camera-bubble video are captured and composited locally. Nothing is transmitted.
• Your projects (transcripts, word timings, caption styles, edits) are stored in a local database inside the app's Application Support container.
• Nothing you import, transcribe, caption, or export is uploaded anywhere. The app requests no network entitlement.

Speech models

On-device transcription uses Apple's Speech framework. Language model assets are downloaded and managed by macOS itself (not by ReelCaption Studio) and run on-device. ReelCaption Studio does not send your audio to any server.

Capture permissions

Screen recording consent is managed by macOS and ScreenCaptureKit. Microphone and camera permission are requested only after you enable the corresponding option and explicitly start a recording. Interactive samples use synthetic sources and never request screen, camera, or microphone permission.

Purchases

One-time in-app purchases are handled entirely by Apple's App Store and StoreKit. ReelCaption Studio never sees your payment details. Purchase entitlements are provided to the app by the operating system.

Diagnostics

The app keeps a small local, rotating diagnostics log inside its own container for troubleshooting. It records only event names and non-identifying counters - never transcript text, caption text, file contents, or file paths. This log never leaves your Mac and is not transmitted anywhere.

Data deletion

You can delete all app data at any time from Settings ("Delete all data"), which clears the local project library, recorder recipes, and app-owned takes. Your original video files and exports on disk are not affected. Deleting the app removes its container entirely.

Children

ReelCaption Studio does not collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will ship with the app and the date above will be revised.

No advertising and no promotional messaging

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.
