- What it is
- The privacy policy for Ramblr, kept in the maker's repository. It separates local mode, where audio stays on the device, from cloud mode, where audio goes to OpenAI with the user's key, and it says the maker runs no backend and collects no uploaded recordings.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own policy in its repository, read as a statement of practice and not an audit. It states that third-party services the user chooses may process data under their own terms, and it covers only what the maker says about its own systems.
