Data Controls

Exactly what data TypeQuick processes, where it goes, and what stays on your device.

Last updated:April 29, 2026

AI models we use

TypeQuick uses Qwen large language models from Alibaba Cloud for recognition, polishing, translation, selection editing and Ask. We picked Qwen for its strong multilingual quality and competitive latency. The cloud variant currently runs on Qwen3.5 Omni Flash Realtime; on-device runs a quantised Whisper-class recogniser for speech-to-text only.

Local mode — fully on device

When you select a local model, all audio and transcription stay on your machine. Nothing is sent to our servers. Local mode supports speech-to-text only; advanced features like translation, polishing styles and Ask require the cloud mode.

Cloud mode — encrypted in transit

Cloud mode sends your audio over TLS 1.3 to our inference provider, returns the polished text, and discards the audio. We do not store your recordings, we do not retain prompts, and we do not train on your data. Inference runs in the EU and Singapore regions.

Account data

We store your email, your subscription status and a per-device installation ID. You can delete your account anytime from the account page; this removes all associated data within 30 days.

History and dictionary

History entries and your personal dictionary are stored locally on your device in an encrypted SQLite database. They are never uploaded.

About Qwen LLMs

What the cloud model sees and what it doesn't.

What we send

Your audio chunk (or selected text), the active language hint and the polishing style. No account ID, no email.

What we don't send

Your name, email, device ID, history, dictionary, screen contents or anything from other apps.

No training

Our contract with the inference provider forbids training on customer payloads. Audio and prompts are dropped after the response.

Smart Mode web search

When Smart Mode performs a web search, only the cleaned query is sent to the search API — never the raw audio.

GDPR

Legal basis & transport

GDPR-aligned processing, with transport secured over HTTPS.

Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)

Processing of voice and text in cloud mode is based on Art. 6(1)(b) — performance of the contract you accept when using TypeQuick. Account data is processed under the same basis. Optional analytics use Art. 6(1)(a) — your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Encryption in transit

All traffic between your browser and our servers runs over HTTPS. Our hosting providers (Cloudflare, Supabase) terminate connections with modern TLS configurations by default.

Encryption at rest

Our account database is hosted on Supabase (Lovable Cloud), which encrypts the underlying storage at the infrastructure level (AES-256). We do not add a separate application-level encryption layer on top. Local history and dictionary are stored in a standard SQLite database on your device.
