| 27 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">1. What Wave Does</h2> |
| 28 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 29 | + Wave is a macOS dictation app that records audio from your microphone, transcribes speech |
| 30 | + into text, and can optionally send text to an AI provider to generate or rewrite content. |
| 31 | + </p> |

| 35 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">2. Information Wave May Process</h2> |
| 36 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 37 | + Depending on how you use the app, Wave may process microphone audio, transcribed text, |
| 38 | + prompts you send to AI mode, selected microphone metadata, custom vocabulary, snippets, |
| 39 | + and local app settings. |

| 44 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">3. Local Transcription</h2> |
| 45 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 46 | + When you use on-device transcription, audio processing happens locally on your Mac using |
| 47 | + the models and runtime included with the app. In that mode, your audio is not sent to |
| 48 | + Wave’s servers. |
| 49 | + </p> |
| 50 | + </article> |

| 52 | + <article class="reveal rounded-[24px] border border-white/8 bg-slate-950/50 p-7"> |
| 53 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">4. Cloud Transcription and AI Mode</h2> |
| 54 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 55 | + If you enable cloud transcription or AI mode, Wave sends the necessary audio or text to |
| 56 | + the third-party provider you configure in order to return a result. This may include |
| 57 | + microphone audio, transcribed text, prompts, and generated responses. |
| 58 | + </p> |
| 59 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 60 | + Your use of those features is also subject to the privacy practices and terms of the |
| 61 | + third-party provider you choose. |

| 66 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">5. API Keys and Credentials</h2> |
| 67 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 68 | + Wave may store API keys or related configuration locally on your device so the app can |
| 69 | + access the providers you configure. Wave does not sell your API keys and does not use |
| 70 | + them for advertising. |

| 76 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 77 | + Wave may store transcription history, snippets, preferences, and device selections locally |
| 78 | + on your Mac to support core functionality. That data is used to operate the app experience |
| 79 | + and is not shared for advertising. |

| 84 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">7. Analytics and Website Data</h2> |
| 85 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 86 | + The Wave marketing website may use privacy-focused website analytics to understand traffic |
| 87 | + and improve the site. This policy applies to both the website and the app where relevant, |
| 88 | + but website analytics are separate from microphone audio and transcription processing in |
| 89 | + the macOS app. |

| 94 | + <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold text-white">8. Data Sharing</h2> |
| 95 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 96 | + Wave does not sell your personal information. Data is only shared with third-party service |
| 97 | + providers when needed to perform the cloud features you choose to use, such as transcription |
| 98 | + or AI generation. |

| 104 | + <p class="mt-4 text-[15px] leading-8 text-slate-300"> |
| 105 | + You can choose local transcription instead of cloud processing, remove saved history or |
| 106 | + snippets from within the app, and stop using any configured cloud provider at any time by |
| 107 | + removing its credentials from the app. |
