Privacy Policy

AIRI is built on a single rule: the artificial intelligence runs on your device, and your content does not have to leave it. This policy explains, in plain terms, what data AIRI handles, where that handling happens, and the one narrow, optional case in which anything is sent off the device.

AIRI is published by ERARTA FZE (“AIRI”, “we”, “us”). This policy applies to the AIRI apps for iPhone, Android and Mac and to this website, airi.erarta.ai.

The short version

• Your voice recordings, transcripts, notes, summaries, tasks, search queries, and questions to your archive are processed on your device and stored in a local, encrypted archive on your device.
• AIRI does not require an account, a phone number, or a sign-in to work.
• By default, AIRI does not send your content anywhere. Only if you turn on Cloud Sync do your notes reach a server, end-to-end encrypted so that we cannot read them (see below).
• The only optional path off your device is anonymous product analytics, which is turned off by default. If you choose to turn it on, it carries only coarse usage signals and never the content of your notes. You can turn it off again at any time.
• Two additional off-device interactions exist only to make the app work: downloading the AI models on first launch, and standard App Store app updates. Neither sends your notes.

What AIRI processes on your device

When you record or import audio, AIRI transcribes it on your device, transforms it with an on-device language model into the format you choose (such as a summary, a task list, a clean note, a custom result, or a translation), and saves the result to a local, encrypted archive. Search, topic clustering (Threads), and asking questions of your archive are also performed on your device using local indexes and the local model. This content is not transmitted to us or to any third party as part of normal use.

Data stored on your device

• Captured audio and transcripts you create or import.
• Notes and transforms produced from them (summaries, tasks, clean notes, custom outputs, translations).
• Search indexes used for keyword and semantic search and for asking your archive questions.
• App settings and preferences, including your analytics choice and any optional cloud provider key (see below).

This data lives in an encrypted archive on the device and, where applicable, in the device keychain. You can delete individual notes or clear the archive from within the app. Uninstalling the app removes its locally stored data from the device.

Optional product analytics (off by default)

To understand whether the app is working well and where it fails, AIRI can collect anonymous, content-free product analytics. This is off by default. It is collected only if you explicitly opt in, and you can opt out again at any time in Settings.

When enabled, analytics may include only:

• Event names describing which features or screens were used.
• Coarse counts and timings (for example, how long an action took).
• Error and diagnostic codes when something fails.

Analytics, even when enabled, never includes:

• Your audio, transcripts, notes, summaries, tasks, or translations.
• Your search queries or the questions you ask your archive.
• Wake-word phrases or any of the words you speak or type into your notes.

Because this opt-in path exists, we do not claim that AIRI collects no data at all. What we do claim, and design for, is that your content stays on your device and is never part of analytics.

AI model downloads and app updates

AIRI downloads its AI models once, on first launch, so that everything can then run offline. This download fetches model files to your device; it does not upload your content. App updates are delivered through the Apple App Store under Apple’s normal update mechanism. After the initial setup, AIRI is designed to function fully offline.

Meeting recording on Mac

AIRI for Mac can record meetings. To hear the other people on a call, it asks macOS for the “Screen & System Audio Recording” permission (or “System Audio Recording Only”). AIRI uses it only to capture the audio of the app that holds the call, such as Zoom or a browser tab with Google Meet, as a separate track next to your microphone.

AIRI does not capture, store, or analyze images or video of your screen. The meeting audio is transcribed on your Mac, and the recording and its transcript are stored in AIRI’s encrypted archive on your Mac. They are not sent to us or to any third party, and they leave the Mac only if you turn on Cloud Sync, which carries the transcript and notes, end-to-end encrypted, and never the audio. You can delete a recording at any time, and you can turn the permission off in System Settings.

Dictation on Mac turns your voice into text on the Mac and puts it where you choose; the audio of a dictation is kept on the Mac only if you leave that option on.

Optional Cloud Sync (end-to-end encrypted)

Cloud Sync is off until you turn it on and sign in with your email address. It keeps the same archive on your iPhone, Android device and Mac.

Before anything is uploaded, your notes are encrypted on your device with a key that only your devices and your recovery phrase can open. Our sync server (hosted with Supabase) stores this ciphertext and cannot read it.

To make sync work, the server does see: your email address, the names and platforms of the devices you connect, how many notes you sync, when sync happens, and when a note is deleted. None of this is the content of your notes. Audio recordings are not synced.

You can sign out of Cloud Sync at any time in the app. To delete your sync account together with the encrypted copies on the server, write to evgeniy@erarta.ai.

Optional cloud escalation (bring your own key)

AIRI may offer an optional advanced setting that lets you connect your own third-party AI provider using your own API key, for tasks you choose to run in the cloud. This is off by default. If you enable it and run a request through it, the content of that specific request is sent directly from your device to the provider you chose, using your key. AIRI does not proxy, store, or bill these requests, and your key is stored encrypted in the device keychain and is never transmitted to us. Requests you keep local never use this path. Your use of a third-party provider is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.

This website

The AIRI website provides information about the app and is intended to be served without behavioral advertising trackers. If we add basic, privacy-respecting visitor measurement in the future, we will update this policy to describe it. Your interactions with the app are governed by the in-app behavior described above, not by this website.

Children

AIRI is not directed to children under the age required by your local law to consent to data processing. Because content is processed on the device and no account is required, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices and rights

• Analytics: opt in or out at any time in Settings. Off by default.
• Your content: view, edit, and delete notes, or clear the archive, from within the app. It is stored on your device, under your control.
• Removal: uninstalling the app removes its local data from the device.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding personal data. To ask a question or exercise a right, contact us at the address below.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as AIRI evolves. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, provide notice in the app or on this site.
