Quick Subtitles

Privacy Policy

TLDR

Quick Subtitles processes everything locally on your device. We collect basic usage statistics (like which features you use) but no personal data, file names, subtitle content, or video files. Your media files and subtitle data never leave your device.

What We Collect

Basic Usage Statistics

We collect anonymous usage data to understand how people use the app. This includes:

This data contains no personal information, file names, subtitle content, video data, or unique identifiers that could identify you.

What We Don't Collect

How Your Privacy Is Protected

100% Local Processing

Quick Subtitles processes all your video files, subtitles, and transcripts locally on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Nothing is ever uploaded to our servers.

Local Storage Only

Your files, subtitles, and app settings are stored only on your device. We have no servers to store your data on.

Works Offline

Once installed, Quick Subtitles works completely offline. No internet connection is needed for any core functionality.

No Third-Party Analytics

We don't use crash reporting tools, analytics services, or advertising networks that could collect your data.

Optional AI Features

Quick Subtitles offers optional AI-powered features for transcript generation. These features use on-device processing through Apple's built-in speech recognition technology. Your audio is processed locally on your device and is never sent to external servers.

Apple Speech Recognition

Quick Subtitles uses Apple's Speech Recognition framework with on-device processing. According to Apple's documentation, when using on-device recognition, audio is processed locally and is not sent to Apple's servers. For more information about Apple's approach to privacy and on-device intelligence, please review Apple's Privacy Policy.

Data You Control

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change this privacy policy, we'll update this page and the app description in the App Store. Given that we collect minimal data, any changes would likely only involve clarifications or additional privacy protections.

Questions?
