Privacy Policy

Bun is built to be private by default. The short version: your recordings, transcripts, and notes are kept in your own private iCloud — your personal Apple account — and we never receive them. Bun has no servers of its own, no third-party servers, and no analytics. There is no separate Bun account to create; Bun uses the iCloud account already on your device.

What we collect

Essentially nothing on our side. Bun has no account of its own and does not send your personal content to us. We do not operate servers that receive your voice recordings, transcripts, summaries, or journal entries — that content goes only to your own private iCloud, which we cannot access.

Your recordings and journal content

When you start a session, Bun records audio and transcribes it so it can be summarized and saved. This audio, its transcription, and any resulting summaries and entries are stored on your device and in your own private iCloud database (via Apple's CloudKit), so they sync across the devices signed into your Apple account. They stay under your control, and we cannot access them.

Microphone and speech recognition

Bun uses your microphone to capture sessions and on-device speech recognition to transcribe them. Processing happens on your device. We do not send your audio to us for transcription.

The on-device companion

Bun's companion runs on your device. It is designed to listen and reflect, not to advise. Bun does not provide medical, legal, or financial advice. Your conversations are not used to train models and are not shared with us.

iCloud

Bun stores your journal in your own private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit, and syncs it across the devices signed into your Apple account. That content lives in your personal iCloud, is governed by Apple's privacy policy, and is not visible to us. If your device is not signed into iCloud, Bun keeps your journal locally on that device.

Purchases

If Bun offers a paid upgrade, the purchase is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment details.

No analytics or tracking

Bun contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. We do not build a profile of you, and we do not use Apple HealthKit.

Health-related content

You may journal about pregnancy, health, or other sensitive topics. This content is treated like all other content: it stays in your private iCloud and on your device, is never shared with us, and is not connected to any health database.

Children

Bun is not directed to children and is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your country).

Keeping or deleting your data

Your content lives in your own iCloud, so you control it. When you delete a session in the app, it is removed from your iCloud and from every device. Because the journal is stored in iCloud, deleting the app alone does not erase it — clear your sessions first, or remove Bun's data from your iCloud settings, to erase everything.

Changes to this policy

If we change how Bun handles data, we will update this page and revise the effective date above.
