Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
In short: Wordglint collects no data. Your videos, their transcripts and captions are processed and stored on your device and are never sent to us or anyone else. There are no accounts, no analytics and no ads.
Wordglint is made by Foundry86 LLC (“we”). This policy covers the Wordglint apps and this website.
Your videos and transcripts
Wordglint transcribes speech and renders captions entirely on your Mac or iPhone. Videos you open, the transcripts and edits made from them, and the captioned videos you export stay on your device. We never receive any of it.
On a Mac, Wordglint saves its work in a project file next to each video (for example clip.wordglint next to clip.mov), remembers which videos you've opened so it can show them in its library, and exports wherever you choose.
On iPhone (the app is coming soon), you pick videos with the system's photo picker, which gives Wordglint only the videos you choose; Wordglint keeps a copy, with your edits, inside the app until you delete it there. To save an exported video to Photos, Wordglint asks for permission to add to your library; it can't see or read your photos.
What Wordglint downloads
To transcribe, Wordglint needs a speech recognition model. When you choose to download one, the app fetches it from Hugging Face (huggingface.co), where the models are published. Like any download, that request includes your IP address and basic technical details, which Hugging Face handles under its privacy policy. No video, audio or text from your device is sent. Once a model is downloaded, transcription works offline.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are handled by Apple through the App Store. We don't see or store your payment details, name or Apple Account. Apple gives developers anonymous sales reports; see Apple's privacy policy.
Crash reports
If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device's settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports. They don't include your videos or transcripts. You can turn this off at any time: on a Mac in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements, on iPhone in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Children
Wordglint collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: [email protected].
