- What it is
- The LotusQ privacy page and policy, last updated 4 October 2026. It says where audio goes, that it is not saved, that it is not used for training, and which AI providers receive text.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own privacy policy. It names third-party speech and AI processors and states their retention in their own terms, which this page does not verify.
