Security and Data Handling

Effective date: November 11, 2026

Speech recognition runs locally. The app does not save audio files or upload audio, dictation, vocabulary, history, or imported documents. License verification connects to Polar using HTTPS and limited license, device, and connection information. When automatic updates are enabled, the installed app also checks an update server, which receives the app version and your IP address.

Windows account encryption protects saved vocabulary, settings, optional history, and license state from other Windows users on the computer; programs running under your own Windows account can still read them. Exported vocabulary, technical logs, and the retained registry trial date are not encrypted by the app. History is off by default. Windows, receiving programs, backups, and clipboard synchronization may retain separate copies.

Use Settings to delete saved content before uninstalling. Uninstalling leaves local data and the trial date. You can delete the %LocalAppData%\CommercialDictation.Product folder after uninstalling; contact support to remove the trial date. Cancel billing separately. Device security remains your responsibility; no security measure guarantees complete protection.
