Privacy Policy

AI Captions Maker · Last updated: 1 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Kharoshka Mikita (“Developer”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), an individual developer based in the Republic of Belarus, handles information in connection with the mobile application AI Captions Maker (the “App”).

Short version. Your videos never leave your iPhone. Speech is normally transcribed on the device itself, and the captions you make are stored only in the App's own storage. We do not run servers of our own and we never see your footage. What does leave the device is limited to purchase and usage data handled by Apple, Apphud and Mixpanel, described in detail below. We do not sell your data.

1. Who we are

The App is developed and published by Kharoshka Mikita, an individual developer located in the Republic of Belarus. For any privacy question, write to support@codiee.dev.

2. Your videos and captions

When you add a video, iOS shows you the system photo picker. The App receives only the single item you pick — it has no access to the rest of your photo library, and it does not ask for one.

The video you pick is copied into the App's own private storage on your device, together with the transcript, the caption style and the layout. That copy is what the editor works on. Nothing in it is uploaded anywhere. Exported videos are written to a temporary folder on your device and handed to the iOS share sheet; where they go from there is your choice, and the App is not involved in it.

3. Speech recognition

Turning speech into captions normally happens entirely on your iPhone, using a recognition model that runs on the device. The audio is not sent to us or to anyone else.

The model itself is downloaded once, on first use, from huggingface.co, where it is published by Argmax. That download is a plain file transfer: it carries no audio, no video and no information about you beyond the ordinary network metadata any download involves.

One exception, stated plainly. If on-device recognition is unavailable for the language of your video, the App can fall back to Apple's own speech recognition, which may send the audio of that video to Apple for processing. This is Apple's service, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, not ours. You can avoid the fallback entirely by typing captions by hand.

4. Information that leaves your device

WhoWhatWhy
AppleYour purchase, processed through the App StoreTo take payment and manage the subscription. We never see your payment details.
ApphudAn install identifier, device identifiers, your App Store receipt and subscription eventsTo know whether your subscription is active, to restore purchases, and to serve the offer
MixpanelUsage events (screens opened, offers shown, purchases completed), an identifier, app version, device model, OS version and countryTo understand how the App is used and what to fix

Apphud and Mixpanel act as processors for us. Their own policies are here: Apphud, Mixpanel. Mixpanel data for this App is processed on Mixpanel's EU infrastructure.

5. Tracking and the App Tracking Transparency prompt

The App asks for permission to track using Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you allow it, your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) is shared with Apphud so that an install can be attributed to the advertising campaign it came from. If you decline, no advertising identifier is used and everything in the App keeps working exactly as before. You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

6. Information we do not collect

7. Storage, retention and security

Your projects, transcripts and styles live in the App's private container on your device. Deleting a project removes its files; deleting the App removes all of them. We have no copy and no way to recover them for you.

Purchase and usage records held by Apphud and Mixpanel are retained for as long as they are needed for the purposes above, in line with those companies' own retention practices. Data in transit is protected by TLS.

8. Children's privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, write to support@codiee.dev and we will delete what we can.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export the personal data held about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to a supervisory authority. Because the App has no account, the data we can act on is what Apphud and Mixpanel hold against your install identifier. Write to support@codiee.dev and we will act on your request within the time the applicable law allows.

Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases are the performance of a contract with you (delivering the subscription you bought), our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the App, and your consent where the ATT prompt applies.

10. International users

The App is available worldwide. The processors named above operate infrastructure outside your country, so your information may be processed elsewhere, including in the United States and the European Union. Where required, transfers rely on the standard contractual clauses those companies publish.

11. Changes to this Policy

If this Policy changes in a way that affects you, the date at the top of this page changes with it, and the new version is published here before it takes effect.
