Privacy Policy

Effective September 5, 2026

Souvoix is designed to process media locally on your Mac whenever possible.

Local transcription

Audio and video files selected in Souvoix are processed locally on your Mac for transcription. Souvoix does not upload your selected media files to a server operated by PhrygianGates.

Model downloads

If a required transcription model is not already available on your Mac, Souvoix may download it from a third-party hosting service after you confirm the download. That service may receive ordinary network information associated with the request, such as your IP address.

Optional AI translation

Translation is optional. When translation is enabled, subtitle text and nearby subtitle context may be sent directly from your Mac to the third-party AI service and API endpoint that you configure in Souvoix. PhrygianGates does not operate an intermediary translation server for this feature.

The handling and retention of text sent for translation are governed by the privacy policy and terms of the AI service you choose.

API keys

API keys entered in Souvoix are stored locally in the macOS Keychain. They are used to communicate with the AI service you configure and are not sent to PhrygianGates.

File access

Souvoix stores local macOS security-scoped bookmarks when needed so that it can continue accessing folders you have authorized. These bookmarks remain on your Mac and are not sent to PhrygianGates.

Analytics and tracking

Souvoix does not include advertising, user tracking, analytics, or a PhrygianGates user account system.

Your choices

You can disable translation in Souvoix Settings to stop subtitle text from being sent to a third-party AI service. You can also remove or change the API credentials and endpoint you configured.

Changes

This policy may be updated if Souvoix's data handling changes. The effective date above will be updated when the policy changes.
