Privacy Architecture and Data Management Solutions
The Whisper App employs a strict local-first storage policy, with all user recording files and transcribed text stored in the browser's IndexedDB database by default. This design ensures that sensitive voice data is not unnecessarily uploaded to the cloud, and that only when a user actively selects the transcription feature are the recording files temporarily transferred to Together.ai's API service for processing. The system uses Convex as the base database, together with Clerk for authentication, to build a complete data security chain.
The open source nature of the project allows technical users to review all data processing logic and confirm that there is no hidden data collection behavior. In Windows, temporary files are stored in the %APPDATA%...Localcom.bradenwong.whispering path, and users can manually purge this data at any time. For enterprise users, a completely private deployment solution can completely avoid the risk of data outflow and meet high compliance requirements.
