成渝 向 (developer of Realtime Subtitle), 2026
Read the originalRead on October 25, 2026
- What it is
- The developer's privacy policy for Realtime Subtitle, a live-captioning app for macOS, hosted on GitHub. The App Store listing links to it as the app's privacy policy. The policy is in Chinese and gives an effective date of 21 September 2026.
- How much weight it carries
- The developer's own document, linked from the App Store listing, so it states what the developer says the app does. It describes the app's design and gives no audit or third-party check. It covers the app's own processing; when the Apple Speech engine is used, Apple's processing is governed by Apple's privacy policy, which this source does not reproduce. The quotes are the original Chinese text, read on 25 October 2026.
