Privacy Policy

Minutiva Private by SoDulce Labs LLC — Effective: May 13, 2026

Summary

You decide what leaves your Mac. Minutiva Private has no backend — there is no SoDulce Labs server collecting, storing, or processing your data. All recording, transcription, and storage happen on your device. Cloud features (AI summarization, future calendar and sync integrations) only activate when you connect your accounts with your credentials, and the data flows through your Mac to your chosen provider — never through us. This document explains exactly what stays on your Mac and what can leave under your control.

What stays on your Mac

  • Meeting audio (microphone and system audio, captured locally)
  • Transcripts (generated by WhisperKit running locally on your Mac)
  • AI summaries (when you have not configured a cloud AI provider)
  • All meeting metadata: titles, tags, dates, durations, language
  • Your preferences and settings

These files live under ~/Library/Application Support/ on your Mac and never leave unless you explicitly export them.

What can leave your Mac — only when you configure it

  • Transcripts sent to a configured AI provider for summarization. If you set up an OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or other cloud AI provider in Settings → Providers, Minutiva Private sends your meeting transcript text to that provider so they can return a summary. The provider is selected by you and governed by their own privacy policy.
  • API keys to those providers. Stored on your Mac in the macOS Keychain (encrypted by macOS at rest). Transmitted only to the provider’s API endpoint when summarizing.

What we never collect

  • Audio files
  • Raw transcripts (unless you separately configure a cloud AI provider for summarization — see above)
  • Identifying information (we have no accounts and require no sign-in)
  • Crash reports (we use no third-party crash reporters in the app)
  • Usage analytics (we embed no third-party analytics in the app)

The structural reason: there is no SoDulce Labs backend server. Minutiva Private is distributed as a notarized Developer ID build — downloaded directly from this website or via Sparkle auto-update, signed with an EdDSA key so you can verify it’s us. There’s nothing for us to plug analytics or crash reporting into, even if we wanted to.

The marketing website (sodulcelabs.com)

The above “what we never collect” list is about the Minutiva Private app. The marketing site you’re reading right now is separate and does use two third-party tools:

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — aggregated, cookie-free traffic stats (page views, referrers, country). No individual visitors are identified.
  • Meta Pixel — so we can measure whether ads on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram) drive visits and beta downloads. Fires only on these marketing pages.

Neither runs inside the Minutiva Private app. Once you install Minutiva Private, the app talks only to the endpoints listed under “Network traffic, full audit” below — no Cloudflare beacon, no Meta Pixel, no marketing-site telemetry of any kind.

Auto-updates

The app checks sodulcelabs.com/minutiva-private/{beta,stable}/appcast.xml once per day for new versions. This is a static XML file on our web host — we see only standard web-server logs (your IP address, the requested file, the timestamp), retained for the standard duration our web host (Bluehost) keeps logs, and never correlated with any account or identity (because we don’t have any). The check is the only outbound traffic Minutiva Private generates without you configuring a feature.

Network traffic, full audit

If you sniff the app’s outbound traffic (which any technical user can do), you will see only:

  • Sparkle update check (above) — once per day, static XML
  • WhisperKit model download from Hugging Face, only on first model setup
  • Your configured AI provider’s API endpoint, only when summarizing a meeting
  • (Future) your chosen calendar / email / sync provider, only when you connect it

No traffic to any SoDulce Labs telemetry, analytics, or data-collection endpoint — because no such endpoints exist.

Local files

Meetings are stored at ~/Library/Application Support/Meetings/. You can browse, copy, or delete these files directly using Finder. Uninstalling the app via Finder leaves these files in place; remove them manually if desired.

Children’s Privacy

Minutiva Private is not directed at children under 13. We do not collect data from any user, including children.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change what data Minutiva Private collects or transmits, we will update this document and notify users via the app’s About screen before the change takes effect.
