Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 23, 2025
In this policy, we lay out: what data we collect and why; how your data is handled; and your rights with respect to your data. We do not sell your data.
This policy applies to all products built and maintained by MB Fuerte vision.
What we collect and why
Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here's what that means in practice:
Identity & access
When you sign up for our transcription service, we ask for identifying information such as your name and email address. This is to provide essential product functionality, authenticate your account, and so we can send you product updates and other essential information. We use Clerk for authentication services.
Billing information
If you sign up for a paid plan, you will be asked to provide your payment information and billing address. Payment information is submitted directly to our payment processor (Stripe) and doesn't hit our servers. We only store billing-related information necessary for account management.
Audio and transcription content
We store on our servers the audio and video files that you upload for transcription, as well as the resulting transcripts and associated metadata. This content is processed using AI transcription services (Replicate API with OpenAI Whisper and ElevenLabs models) and stored securely using Cloudflare R2. Unless you delete this content, we may keep this content as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your account will become immediately inaccessible and your data will be permanently deleted from our active systems.
Website interactions
We collect information about your browsing activity for analytics and statistical purposes such as conversion rate testing and experimenting with new product designs. This includes, for example, your browser and operating system versions, your IP address, which web pages you visited and how long they took to load, and which website referred you to us. We use PostHog and Google Analytics for website analytics. If you have an account and are signed in, these web analytics data are tied to your IP address and user account until your account is no longer active.
Error monitoring and performance
We use Sentry to monitor application errors and performance issues. This helps us identify and fix problems quickly. Error logs may contain technical information about your browser, device, and the specific error that occurred.
Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and local storage to provide essential functionality and improve your experience. Below is a complete list of all cookies we use:

Analytics and monitoring cookies can be disabled through your browser settings or our cookie consent banner.
Voluntary correspondence
When you email us with a question or to ask for help, we keep that correspondence, including your email address, so that we have a history of past correspondence to reference if you reach out in the future.

To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding abuse
Accessing a customer's account when investigating potential abuse is a measure of last resort. We want to protect the privacy and safety of both our customers and the people reporting issues to us, and we do our best to balance those responsibilities throughout the process. If we discover you are using our products for a restricted purpose, we will take action as necessary, including notifying appropriate authorities where warranted.
