Local translation
When you select a built-in model, speech recognition, translation and Advisor processing run on your Mac after the required model assets have been installed. Übersetz does not operate a processing server for this workflow.
The app does not create a raw microphone or system-audio archive. System audio is received through a macOS Core Audio tap. No screen pixels are captured, displayed, saved or transmitted.
The current transcript is retained locally
To restore an interrupted session after relaunch, Übersetz retains the current source transcript, translation, speaker labels and Advisor insights in a local application-support file on your Mac. This retained session is not an audio recording and is not uploaded to an Übersetz server.
Selecting Clear removes the retained session. Selecting Save creates a separate Markdown export only at the location you choose through the macOS save panel.
Credentials and settings
Your OpenAI API key and optional custom-endpoint bearer tokens are stored in macOS Keychain. Endpoint metadata and app preferences are stored locally. Übersetz does not bundle a shared OpenAI key or read runtime credentials from the website.
Cloud providers are optional
If you select GPT Realtime, audio and session data required for translation are sent to OpenAI under your own account. If you connect a custom Ollama or OpenAI-compatible endpoint, that endpoint receives the data required for the chosen translation or Advisor request.
Those providers are independent of Übersetz and apply their own security, retention, billing and privacy terms. Review the provider you select before using cloud processing for sensitive conversations.
Website delivery and measurement
The website is delivered through Cloudflare and the Übersetz origin server. These services necessarily process technical request information such as IP addresses and request headers to deliver and protect the site.
The site does not use advertising cookies or cross-site behavioral profiles. Cloudflare may inject its privacy-first Web Analytics performance beacon; Cloudflare states that it collects performance measurements without cookies, local storage or individual fingerprinting.
Questions and deletion requests
Because the app does not operate a user account or Übersetz processing server, PT. Senja normally has no app-session transcript or audio to retrieve or delete. For website or privacy questions, contact [email protected].
