Privacy Policy

Hashtype (Hush-Type)Last Updated: May 3, 2026

Hashtype is a privacy-first, open-source voice typing application. We do not collect any data. Everything is processed locally or sent directly to the providers you choose.

1. No Backend Architecture

Hashtype is designed with privacy as its foundation. The application does not have a central backend server. All configurations, including API keys and endpoint URLs, are stored locally on your device.

2. Audio Handling & Transcription

When you use the voice typing feature, the audio recording is processed as follows:

  • Audio is recorded locally on your device.
  • The audio data is sent directly from your device to the Speech-to-Text (STT) endpoint you have configured (e.g., Groq or OpenAI Whisper).
  • Hashtype does not intercept, store, or relay your voice recordings through any intermediate servers.

3. AI Sentence Cleaning

If you enable the AI cleaning feature, the resulting transcript is sent directly to your designated Large Language Model (LLM) provider (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini) for refinement. This communication happens directly between your device and the provider.

4. Zero Data Collection

We do not collect, monitor, or store any of your data. This includes:

  • No telemetry or analytics.
  • No recording of your transcripts or voice data.
  • No access to your API keys or configuration settings.

5. Open Source Transparency

Hashtype is fully open source. You can audit the code, verify our security claims, and even build the application yourself from the source code.
