PRIVACY
The shortest privacy policy you'll read this year.
Pace runs on your Mac. Your voice, your screen, your meeting audio, and everything Pace writes about them are processed and stored locally. I don't operate servers that receive your data, because there aren't any in the loop.
What Pace collects
Nothing. No account, no email, no analytics SDK, no telemetry, no crash reporter phoning home. The in-app privacy dashboard reads a local audit log and shows "0 bytes sent off this Mac" — that number is computed, not asserted.
The exceptions, stated plainly
- Auto-update: the app checks a GitHub-hosted appcast for new versions (standard Sparkle). That request carries no personal data.
- Optional cloud tiers: if you explicitly configure a bring-your-own-key API tier or the CLI bridge, those turns go to the provider you chose, under that provider's privacy policy. The menu-bar capsule tints amber whenever this happens, and meeting transcripts are pinned local and never use these tiers.
- File downloads you ask for: the download tool fetches a URL you named into ~/Downloads. It sends nothing.
Meeting recordings
Stored as ordinary WAV files under
~/Library/Application Support/Pace/meetings/,
pruned automatically per your retention setting, deletable in
Finder. They never leave the machine.
Questions: email me. I can't see your data, so I can't export or delete it for you — it's already yours.
