Dictus Privacy Policy
Dictus (PIVI Solutions), 2026
Read the originalRead on October 22, 2026
- What it is
- The privacy policy of the Dictus apps for iOS and Desktop and of the getdictus.com website, last updated September 17, 2026. It says where voice and text are processed, and when text is sent to a provider.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the maker and dated. It covers iOS and Desktop together, so each quote names the platform it applies to. A policy states what the maker commits to, not a technical audit; the desktop network document is used to check it.
