Introduction

MagicScribe ("we", "us", or "our") is a voice-powered productivity platform operated from the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use magicscribe.tech, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

By creating an account or using the service, you agree to this policy. If you are using MagicScribe on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation to this policy.

Data We Collect

Account information

When you register, we collect your name and email address. We store a cryptographic hash of your password — your plain-text password is never stored or logged.

Voice recordings and transcripts

Voice audio you record within MagicScribe is sent directly to our transcription provider for processing and is not stored on our servers. Only the resulting text transcript is saved to your account.

This means we do not hold audio files of your voice. Once a recording is transcribed, the audio is discarded.

Documents and form data

Documents you create in MagicScribe Docs, forms you build, and submissions made to your forms are stored in our database associated with your account.

Usage data

We collect limited usage information including the number of dictation sessions and API calls you make. This is used solely for enforcing plan limits and improving the service — it is not sold or shared with advertisers.

Payment data

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number, CVV, or full billing details. Stripe provides us with a tokenised reference and your billing plan status.

Cookies and session data

We use a server-side session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

How We Use Your Data

Third-Party Services

MagicScribe uses the following third parties to deliver core functionality. Each operates under its own privacy policy and data processing terms.

OpenAI (Whisper)

Voice audio is sent to OpenAI's Whisper API for speech-to-text transcription. OpenAI's Privacy Policy and API Usage Policies govern their handling of submitted audio.

Anthropic (Claude)

Text content may be sent to Anthropic's Claude API for AI-assisted document editing, form filling intelligence, and content refinement. Anthropic's Privacy Policy governs their handling of submitted text.

Stripe

Subscription billing is handled by Stripe, Inc. Stripe's Privacy Policy covers all payment data.

Data Retention

We retain your account data and content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial compliance purposes (such as billing records, which are kept for 7 years under UK law).

Voice audio files are never retained — they are processed and discarded immediately. Transcripts (text) are retained as part of your documents until you delete them.

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are based in the UK or European Economic Area, you have the following rights under applicable data protection law:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. For full details, see our Security page. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by displaying a notice in the application. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
