SaidStore Privacy Policy
Effective: 3 October 2026
Who is responsible: Philip Bonhard
Contact: saidstore@bonhard.ai
SaidStore is an app for recording talks and conversations at events, keeping notes, and remembering the people you meet. This policy says what it does with your information. The short version: your recordings, transcripts, notes and contacts stay on your iPhone. Nothing leaves it unless you turn on Cloud features, and then only the specific things listed below.
What stays on your iPhone
Everything you create in the app: recordings, transcripts, summaries, comments, photos you add to a session, events, people, notes and actions. This is stored in the app's private storage on your iPhone. SaidStore has no accounts, no sign-in, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not sell or share your information.
The app does not store anyone's email address or phone number. When you choose "Create phone contact", the name, job title, company and LinkedIn link are handed to the iPhone's Contacts screen, and you decide whether to save them.
If you use iCloud Backup for your iPhone, Apple may include the app's data in that backup, under Apple's terms. Backups you make with SaidStore's own Backup & Restore feature go only where you choose to send them. SaidStore uploads nothing.
Cloud features (off unless you allow them)
When the app first opens, you choose whether to allow Cloud features. You can change this at any time in Settings. If you allow them, the app uses a small service run by SaidStore to reach three outside providers. The service passes your request on and does not keep your content.
| What you do | What is sent | To whom | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live transcription, or re-transcribing a recording | The audio | AssemblyAI, EU region | A more accurate transcript. The app deletes the audio from AssemblyAI once the transcript is back. |
| Summaries of a session or event | The transcript text, the session title, speaker names from the programme, and names or terms you have corrected | Anthropic (Claude) | A written summary. |
| Finding a LinkedIn profile for a person | The person's name and company | Brave Search | Suggesting a profile link. |
These providers handle the information under their own terms and privacy policies, summarised here from their published pages as of October 2026:
- AssemblyAI (transcription, EU servers): audio and transcripts you send are deleted from its systems within about 24 to 48 hours, and SaidStore also asks it to delete each transcript as soon as the app has received it. AssemblyAI's published terms say it does not use files sent to its EU servers, which SaidStore uses, for model training. Live transcription audio is streamed to it and processed as you speak. See AssemblyAI's data retention page.
- Anthropic (summaries): text sent for a summary is automatically deleted from Anthropic's systems within 30 days. See Anthropic's retention policy.
- Brave Search (LinkedIn suggestions): the search is kept for up to 90 days for billing and troubleshooting, and Brave says it cannot link a search to a person or device. See Brave's Search API privacy notice.
What the SaidStore service keeps
Each install of the app creates a random identifier that is not tied to your name or any account. It is sent with each cloud request so that daily usage limits can be applied. The service keeps only usage counters under that identifier, and they expire after three days. It keeps no audio, transcripts, summaries or names. Like most web services, its hosting provider (Cloudflare) may keep standard technical logs, such as the time and success or failure of a request.
What the app asks permission for
- Microphone: to record the sessions you choose. Recording starts only when you start it.
- Speech recognition: to transcribe on your iPhone.
- Camera: to scan agendas and badges. The text is read on your iPhone. For a badge, only a small cropped photo of the name area may be kept with that person, never the whole badge.
- Photos: to show photos you took during a session so you can add them to it.
- Notifications: only if you turn on action reminders.
Recording other people
Laws about recording conversations vary by country and place. You are responsible for telling people and getting their agreement where the law requires it.
Your choices
- Delete anything in the app at any time. Deleted recordings stay in the Bin for 24 hours, then are removed.
- Turn Cloud features off in Settings. Everything then stays on your iPhone.
- Deleting the app removes its data from your iPhone. There is nothing stored in your name on our side to delete, other than usage counters that expire within three days.
Children
SaidStore is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the change will be shown in the app before it takes effect.
