In the source's own words

“Delete it the second it's transcribed, or keep it for a year. The transcript stays either way.”

sideOS home page, Stockimg AI, Inc. (sideOS), 2026, Meetings section, 'You decide how long audio lives'.

What it measures: The sentence sits in the meetings section of the home page, next to a recording shown as 'transcribed on device'. The page does not say which option is the default.
What it does not show: The year is converted to 365 days (a leap year would be 366). Setting 'At most' is used because a year is the longest option named. The page does not say whether the default is deletion or a year, and the privacy policy does not repeat this rule.
