Privacy Policy

This is the same policy shown inside the app under Legal Information. Last updated 8 April 2026.

The policy

1. Data collection. ScribeShot does not operate its own analytics or tracking service.
2. Local storage. Your notes, screenshots, transcripts, prompts, settings, and generated outputs are stored locally on your device.
3. API keys. Your OpenAI API key is stored locally using encrypted storage and is sent only to OpenAI when you use AI features.
4. Video handling. When you open a YouTube video, ScribeShot may load the YouTube embedded player and may request metadata or transcripts from YouTube. Those requests are handled by YouTube and Google under their own terms and privacy policies.
5. License validation. License keys are validated through Gumroad's API. Only the license key and related validation request data are transmitted for that purpose.
6. No central sync. ScribeShot does not upload your local notes or screenshots to ScribeShot-operated servers.

This website

scribeshot.com serves static pages. It sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. Fonts are served from this domain rather than a third-party CDN, so loading a page does not tell anyone else that you visited.

Two third-party requests do occur on the home page: the icon stylesheet is fetched from cdnjs, and the purchase button loads Gumroad's checkout script. Those providers see the request as any CDN would. Purchases are processed by Gumroad under its own privacy policy — payment details are never handled by ScribeShot.

Third parties involved

• YouTube and Google — when you load a video's player, metadata, or transcript. See Google's privacy policy.
• OpenAI — only if you choose the OpenAI provider and supply a key. Not contacted at all when you run a local model.
• Gumroad — for purchases and licence validation.
