Mode selection changes where processing occurs. OpenAI Online sends voice and translation requests to OpenAI. On Device uses compatible local models and supported local speech recognition. Private Cloud Compute sends text, including locally transcribed speech, to Apple after separate consent; the site says raw audio and images are not uploaded to Apple in that mode. Saved conversations stay on the device. This is a product-level explanation, not a replacement for the current policy.

Follow the site’s Privacy, Terms and Support links for current policies and contact information. This guide is not a legal policy or an independent audit.

This repository intentionally describes public user-facing behavior. Application source, authentication details, private infrastructure, unpublished algorithms and internal benchmarks are outside its scope. Corrections should reference a public product page or a reproducible user-visible result.
