eyeHear Privacy Policy

Last updated on June 19, 2026.

Updates

eyeHear, LLC reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at anytime. Updates will be noted in the release notes of any updates, and a current version is always available ateyehear.app/privacy.

Promises

eyeHear respects your privacy. Our Privacy Policy makes a few, simple promises:

  • eyeHear, LLC collects as little data as is possible to operate efficiently.
  • eyeHear, LLC does not sell any personal or analytical data.
  • eyeHear does not collect any recordings or captions of conversations captioned.
  • Any information collected by eyeHear, LLC is documented clearly and thoroughly here in the privacy policy.
  • Any services run by entities other than eyeHear, LLC that eyeHear, LLC shares information with in order to operate are documented and explained here in the privacy policy.

Third Party Services

eyeHear, LLC, like all businesses, operates on a foundation of technologies provided by other organizations. All third-party services are documented on a per property basis in this document.

eyeHear for iOS app

eyeHear collects as little data as possible while operating to ensure your privacy. We never collect your conversations contents or recordings. Recordings from the microphone are not stored any longer than it takes to process them into captions. Captions are stored locally on your device. eyeHear does not connect to any servers other than Apple's captioning service via SFSpeechRecognizer API.

  • eyeHear for iOS uses Apple's SFSpeechRecognizer API. All network traffic between your device and Apple's servers is encrypted. You can learn more about Apple's Speech APIs athttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/speech.
  • eyeHear for iOS uses Apple's default app analytics. You can learn more about what Apple shares with all developers athttps://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-analytics/. You can learn more about managing and opting out of Apple's analytics athttps://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202100.
  • eyeHear for iOS requires Microphone and Speech Recognition permission to operate. eyeHear for iOS will request this on first launch. Controls for both permissions can be found under Privacy in the iOS Settings app or by selecting eyeHear from the apps listing in the iOS settings app. The app requests no other permissions — it does not access your location, contacts, or photos, and contains no advertising or third-party tracking.
  • Your caption history is stored only on your device. It is never sent to eyeHear, and it leaves your device only if you choose to share or export it using the iOS share sheet. You can clear your history at any time from within the app.

Managed Devices (MDM)

If you received eyeHear through an organization that manages your device (for example, a hospital, school, or employer using Mobile Device Management), your administrator can deploy eyeHear with a managed app configuration that changes how the app behaves. Depending on the policy your administrator sets, in-app sharing may be turned off and on-device caption history may be disabled — when history is disabled, any captions already stored on the device are deleted.

This configuration is delivered by your organization's device-management system and is applied and enforced entirely on your device. eyeHear, LLC does not set, receive, or store this configuration, and the app adds no telemetry or reporting as a result of it. If you have questions about a policy applied to your managed device, please contact your organization's administrator.

eyeHear.app Website

  • eyehear.app is hosted on Cloudflare. You can find Cloudflare's Privacy Policy herehttps://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/and Cloudflare's Terms of Service herehttps://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/. As our hosting provider, Cloudflare processes the network requests you make to our site, including your IP address, in order to serve and protect the site. Fonts and other assets are served directly from eyehear.app — our website does not load resources from third-party content delivery networks or font services.

Support Form

When you contact us through the support form at eyehear.app/support, we collect the email address and message you provide so that we can respond. This information is processed on eyeHear's Cloudflare-based infrastructure and may also be processed by our AI tooling (see AI Tooling):

Personally Identifiable Information and User Data

eyeHear avoids collecting user data or personally identifiable information (PII) as a general practice in order to ensure your privacy. For instance, the eyeHear app doesn't share any data at all with eyeHear about what you caption, or how you use the application. However, there are cases where we must collect PII or user data in order to offer our services.

  • eyeHear collects PII via our product surveys. This information is used for followup communications and product improvements. We do not sell your personal information or use it for advertising. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf to operate eyeHear, under contracts that restrict how they may use it (see Third Party Services).
  • eyeHear collects PII during the course of support. The information collected is stored securely and minimized to the information needed to resolve your issue.
  • If you would like to have your PII or user data removed from our systems, please contactsupport.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected.

  • Support tickets. The email address and message you send through our support form are retained while we work your request and for up to one year after the case is closed, after which they are deleted.
  • Survey responses. Retained only as long as needed for the product research they support, then deleted or aggregated.
  • Microphone audio. Held only on your device. eyeHear never receives, stores, or transmits your microphone audio to its own servers; it is kept on-device only as long as needed to produce a caption and is then discarded. Transcription itself is performed using Apple's Speech framework, as described under eyeHear for iOS app above.
  • Captions. Stored locally on your device and never on eyeHear's servers. You can delete your caption history at any time from within the app. On organization-managed devices, your administrator may disable history retention (see Managed Devices (MDM) above).
