Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-02

ArdusKey is a verifiable on-device AI voice keyboard, designed so your voice and dictated text stay on your device.

1. The principle

Privacy is built into how ArdusKey works. The core input flow runs on your device: transcription, sentence refinement, and language detection. ArdusKey is designed not to send what you say or what it writes to our servers. You can check this by turning off the network and using the keyboard.

2. Information we do not collect

  • Voice — we do not send or store your original audio on our servers.
  • Input text — we do not collect what you dictate or the text ArdusKey refines.
  • Usage activity — we do not track which apps you use ArdusKey in or how often you use it.
  • Advertising or tracking identifiers — we do not collect identifiers used for advertising or device tracking.
  • Analytics data — we do not include external analytics tools that monitor your usage patterns.

3. Network calls and opt-in forms

  • Model download — on first launch, the app downloads model weights from our CDN. The download contains no personally identifying information from you. After this, the model runs fully on-device.
  • Update notifications — periodic check for new model or app versions. We do not log who checked or when at the user level.
  • Beta feedback (opt-in only) — if you explicitly tap "Send feedback" in beta, we receive what you typed in the feedback form, plus your device model, OS version, and app version. Voice and dictation history are not included.
  • Launch notice email (opt-in only) — if you enter your email on this website, we store it only to send ArdusKey launch updates. It is not linked to voice, dictation, or app usage data.

4. App Store and platform data

When you purchase ArdusKey through the App Store, Google Play, or Microsoft Store, those platforms collect their own data (purchase records, account information) governed by Apple, Google, or Microsoft privacy policies. Frameout receives only aggregate sales reports — never your individual identity beyond what is required for refund handling.

5. Beta testing programs

If you join the ArdusKey beta via TestFlight or Google Play Internal Test, the platform handles distribution. Crash reports and feedback you submit through TestFlight follow Apple's policy. You can leave the beta at any time.

6. Children

The ArdusKey keyboard does not collect voice, input text, or usage activity from any user, regardless of age. If a parent or guardian has questions about underage use, contact us.

7. Your rights

Your dictation history and refined text exist only on your device, under your control, and you can clear them by uninstalling the keyboard or clearing your iOS/Android keyboard cache. If you submitted a launch notice email on the website, you can ask us to delete it.

8. Changes to this policy

If we materially change this policy, we will note the change in the app and on this page. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current revision.

9. Contact

Questions about this policy or about ArdusKey privacy in general — reach us at hello@arduskey.com. We try to respond within 5 business days.

10. Verifiability

To verify ArdusKey, turn off the network and use the keyboard. If dictation and refinement continue to work, the core processing is happening on your device. If you ever find a core input flow that requires network access, please contact us so we can investigate and fix it.
