Data & Privacy

Microphone and speech access, what stays on your phone, the only ways audio ever leaves, iCloud backup, and deletion behavior.

Microphone access is asked for the first time you try to record, and the mic is only used while you record. Speech recognition access is asked for transcription.

Recording & privacy settings — mic, recognition, and archive controls

Everything else stays on your phone: recordings, names, folders, trims, and transcripts live in the app's on-device storage. There is no RecordLog account, no RecordLog server, no usage tracking, and no ads.
Audio leaves your phone only when you make it happen: (1) you export and share a file; (2) you set up a cloud archive and the app copies to your storage; (3) you approve an Apple-server transcription for one recording. Nothing else, ever, and never automatically. Noise reduction never sends audio anywhere — it runs entirely on your phone.
On-device transcription and noise reduction send nothing.
Device backup: your app data is part of a normal iCloud device backup if you have backups turned on, and comes back only when you restore a whole device from that backup.
Deleting the app removes its phone data. Deleting a recording moves it to Recently Deleted for 30 days. Your cloud backup copies are yours and are never deleted remotely.
