- What it is
- The privacy policy of Tingdong, a live captioning and translation app for Mac and Windows, last updated 16 October 2026. It says audio is processed in memory and not stored, that captions and transcripts stay on the user's Mac, and gives a 180-day and a 12-month period for the performance and account records it keeps.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own privacy page, read live on 2026-10-23. It states the maker's practice and is not an audit. It names a third-party speech-recognition provider but does not describe that provider's own retention.
