BrainDump Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

BrainDump is designed with a local-first approach. The app stores user data primarily on the user's device and does not operate its own cloud storage or processing backend.

Data Stored on Device

BrainDump stores the following data locally on the user's device:

• Ideas and notes
• Speech transcripts
• AI-generated summaries
• Tags and categories
• Application settings
• Export history
• Downloaded local LLM model files

Microphone and Speech Recognition

BrainDump requests microphone access only when the user explicitly starts recording.

Speech recognition is performed using Android on-device speech recognition services when available.

Data Uploads

BrainDump does not upload recordings, transcripts, ideas, or summaries to BrainDump-owned servers.

Model Downloads

BrainDump may optionally allow users to download local AI models directly from selected third-party model hosts.

BrainDump supports only non-gated in-app model downloads. Users may also manually download compatible local models separately and import them from device storage.

Exports and Sharing

Exports, clipboard copies, and sharing actions are initiated explicitly by the user.

After exported content is shared or sent to another application, file location, or external service, that destination handles the data according to its own privacy practices and policies.

Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking

BrainDump does not use:

• Advertising SDKs
• Analytics SDKs
• Tracking SDKs
• Personal data sale mechanisms

Backups

Automatic Android cloud backup and device-transfer backup are disabled.

Users may create their own manual exports and backups if desired.

Data Deletion

Users can delete local BrainDump data from the application's Settings screen.
