Privacy Policy
YapClean is a Windows BYOK dictation beta. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be involved when you request access, configure the app, and use YapClean to clean dictated text.
YapClean is operated by EVA MAKAR SLLC, UIC/EIK 206649912. Contact: founder@yapclean.tech.
What YapClean does
YapClean lets you press CapsLock in many Windows text fields, dictate naturally, and receive cleaned text inserted at your cursor. The current beta uses a bring-your-own-key model for AI processing.
Information you provide
If you request beta access, you may provide your name, email address, preferred plan, preferred AI provider, and a short description of your intended use case.
AI provider keys
The BYOK beta requires you to use your own AI provider key, such as OpenAI or Groq for speech-to-text. Gemini may be configured experimentally for cleanup/formatting. YapClean is intended to store keys in desktop secret storage where available. You are responsible for your provider account, provider terms, and provider usage costs.
Dictation content
When you use BYOK dictation, your dictated text may be sent to the AI provider you configure so it can be cleaned and formatted. Provider processing depends on the provider you choose.
Screenshots and screen data
YapClean does not need hidden screenshots for the core dictation workflow described on this website. This website does not claim screenshot-based monitoring or background screen capture.
Audio and transcripts
The BYOK beta should not be marketed as storing server-side audio or transcript history. If future managed cloud features introduce additional processing or retention, this policy should be updated before launch.
Beta diagnostics
YapClean may use limited local logs or diagnostics to help debug beta issues, improve reliability, and understand whether the app is working as expected. Diagnostic behavior should be presented conservatively and should not imply formal compliance certification.
Payment and beta keys
Paid beta access is handled manually during beta. Payment and key delivery details may change as the beta matures.
Managed Pro roadmap
Managed Pro is planned but not live. Gemini is an experimental BYOK cleanup/formatting provider path in the desktop beta; Vertex AI remains a planned managed-infrastructure direction rather than a public self-serve option.
