Refine's Privacy Protection Mechanism
Refine achieves privacy protection through the following technical solutions:
- 100% Local Processing - All text analysis and grammar checking is done on the user's Mac device, no need to upload data to the cloud!
- No data collection - Unlike cloud-based services that record user input, Refine does not store or track any text data.
- Offline mode - functions continue to work even when completely disconnected from the Internet
- Minimized permissions - only basic text entry required, no network access or other sensitive permissions required
This design is particularly suited to user groups that deal with sensitive content, such as legal/medical practitioners, journalists or trade secret holders, completely eliminating the risk of data leakage. Compared to traditional cloud-based services such as Grammarly, users are in full control of their data flow.
