Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

In short: PhraseKit transcribes speech on your own computer — your video and audio never leave it. We only collect what we need to run the waitlist, sell licenses and check that a license is valid. We don’t sell your data and don’t show ads.

1. Who we are

PhraseKit (“we”, “us”) is a product of ML Production, the trading name of Hlib Malakhov, a private individual based in Estonia. We are the data controller for the personal data described below. Contact: [email protected].

2. What we collect and why

Waitlist and newsletter. If you join the waitlist, we store your email address, the plan you clicked on (if any) and the date you signed up. We use it to tell you about the launch, new templates and offers. Legal basis: your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email.

Website analytics. Only if you click “Accept” in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to see how the site is used: pages viewed, where visitors came from, approximate location (country/city), device and browser type, and button clicks such as “Join waitlist”. Google Analytics sets cookies and assigns your browser a random identifier; IP addresses are not stored. Legal basis: your consent. If you decline, Google Analytics is not loaded at all.

Purchases. Payments are processed by our reseller and merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy. Lemon Squeezy collects your name, email, billing address and payment details under its own privacy policy. We receive order details (name, email, country, product, license key) but never your card details. Legal basis: performance of a contract and legal (accounting) obligations.

License activation. When you activate PhraseKit, and periodically after that, the plugin sends your license key and a device name/identifier to Lemon Squeezy to check that the license is valid and is active on no more computers than allowed. The 24-hour trial sends nothing anywhere: its mark is stored, encrypted, only on your computer. Legal basis: performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in preventing abuse.

Support. If you email us, we keep the correspondence to help you.

Support chat. If you use the AI support chat, your messages are sent through our server to Anthropic to generate replies. We do not store the conversation or log its contents; Anthropic processes it under its own terms. Please do not enter card details or license keys. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering your questions.

The site also saves two small settings in your browser’s local storage, which are not sent anywhere: your language (pk-lang) and your cookie choice (pk-consent). These are strictly necessary and need no consent.

6. How long we keep it

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask us to access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. Write to [email protected] — we reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (aki.ee) or the authority in your country.

8. Children

PhraseKit is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date above. For significant changes we will notify waitlist subscribers and customers by email.
