- What it is
- The maker's privacy policy for WaveOne, last updated August 18, 2026. It says the app has no servers of its own, recognition stays on the Mac, and text goes to a cloud service only after the user enables one and agrees.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own legal page, read 2026-10-26. It states what the app does today. It does not promise future behavior, and it says cloud engines are governed by each provider's own terms.
