OpenRay Scribe Privacy Policy

OpenRay Scribe lets you start a transcription session from the Chrome extension popup. When you start a session, the extension requests microphone access and captures audio from the active Chrome tab for transcription. The extension does not record in the background.

Capture starts only after you choose to start a session. Capture stops when you stop the session, when the captured tab ends, or when capture fails.

OpenRay Scribe is not designed to collect the following categories of information:

• Payment information
• Authentication credentials
• Precise location
• Browsing history
• Clicks, scrolls, mouse position, or keystrokes
• Raw audio after a session ends

OpenRay Scribe uses information only to provide and support its single purpose: live transcription of microphone and selected tab audio, with local transcript review.

• Capture microphone and selected tab audio when you start a session.
• Stream active-session audio to the configured transcription endpoint.
• Display partial and final transcript text in the extension.
• Save local transcript history so you can review previous sessions.
• Save your selected transcription endpoint and related extension settings.
• Operate, secure, debug, and improve OpenRay Scribe.

OpenRay Scribe streams audio chunks during an active session to the configured transcription WebSocket endpoint. Raw audio is not saved locally by the extension after the session ends.

Transcript text and session metadata are stored locally in your browser so you can review prior sessions. The extension uses browser extension storage for settings and local browser storage for session history.

You can clear saved transcript history from the extension. You can also remove extension settings and local data by uninstalling OpenRay Scribe or clearing browser data for the extension.

We do not sell user data. We do not use OpenRay Scribe audio, transcripts, selected tab content, or extension data for advertising, creditworthiness, or lending purposes.

OpenRay Scribe uses Chrome extension permissions only to provide its disclosed single purpose: capturing microphone and selected tab audio for live transcription and local transcript review.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• You can choose not to start a transcription session.
• You can deny or revoke microphone access in Chrome settings.
• You can stop a session at any time from the extension.
• You can clear saved transcript history in the extension.
• You can change the transcription endpoint in extension settings.
• You can uninstall OpenRay Scribe to remove extension access and local extension data.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information handled by OpenRay Scribe. Remote transcription endpoints must use secure WebSocket connections. Local development endpoints may use localhost connections.

Extension transcript history remains in your local browser until you delete it or uninstall the extension. Raw audio is not retained by the extension after a session ends.

OpenRay Scribe is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through OpenRay Scribe. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

We may update this privacy policy as OpenRay Scribe or legal requirements change. When we make changes, we will update the effective date on this page.
