- What it is
- The privacy policy of Quern, an iPhone app that records, transcribes and summarizes conversations on the device. The policy is effective 30 September 2026 and says the app collects no data and that recordings never reach the developer.
- How much weight it carries
- The developer's own policy, read on its official address on 2026-10-23. It describes how the app is designed, which a reader cannot check from outside, and the app itself was not tested. It gives no number of days for recordings: they stay on the iPhone until the user deletes them.
Facts taken from this source
- Quern's privacy policy says nothing recorded is ever sent to Quern or anyone else, and that deleting Quern deletes everything it stored.
“Nothing you record is ever sent to us or to anyone else. ... Deleting Quern deletes everything it stored.” (In short; Deleting your data)
