Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 18, 2024

1. Introduction

Trilla ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for the Trilla application and related services. We designed Trilla with privacy as a core principle — your meetings, recordings, and personal data belong to you, and we have no interest in collecting, viewing, or monetizing any of it.

By using Trilla, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these practices, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you download Trilla, we collect only your email address for the sole purpose of delivering the application and providing essential service communications. That's it. We do not collect:

  • Passwords or authentication credentials
  • Payment or billing information
  • Personal identification documents
  • Any other personal information

2.2 Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we never collect, access, or store:

  • Your recordings — All audio recordings remain 100% on your device
  • Your transcriptions — All transcripts are stored locally on your machine
  • Your meeting content — We never see, access, or process your meeting data
  • Your AI conversations — Chats with your transcripts stay on your device
  • IP addresses — We do not log or store your IP address
  • Cookies or tracking pixels — We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies in the application
  • Device identifiers — We do not collect unique device IDs
  • Location data — We do not track your location

2.3 Aggregated Usage Data

We collect minimal, anonymized, and aggregated usage data solely to improve the Trilla application. This includes:

  • General feature usage patterns (e.g., which features are most popular)
  • Application crash reports and error logs (without personal data)
  • General performance metrics

This data is fully anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users. It is used exclusively to identify bugs, improve performance, and enhance the user experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

  • Delivering the application — Sending you the download link when you request it
  • Essential communications — Notifying you of critical security updates or service changes
  • Improving Trilla — Using aggregated, anonymized data to fix bugs and enhance features

We do not use your email address for marketing purposes, promotional materials, or newsletters unless you explicitly opt in to receive such communications.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with any third parties. Period.

We do not share data with:

  • Advertising networks
  • Data brokers
  • Analytics providers (beyond our own anonymized metrics)
  • Social media platforms
  • Any other third-party service providers

4.1 Your API Keys and Third-Party Services

If you choose to use cloud-based AI services (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Deepgram) with Trilla, you do so by providing your own API keys. Any data transmitted to these services is sent directly from your device to the respective provider — it does not pass through our servers. Your use of these third-party services is governed by their respective privacy policies, not ours.

Alternatively, you may use Trilla with 100% local models (such as Ollama or LMStudio), in which case no data ever leaves your device.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the limited personal information we collect. However, the most effective security measure we employ is simply not collecting your sensitive data in the first place.

Your recordings, transcriptions, and meeting content are stored locally on your device and encrypted using your operating system's native security features. We have no access to this data and cannot retrieve it even if requested.

6. Data Retention

We retain your email address only for as long as necessary to provide you with the Trilla service. If you wish to have your email address removed from our records, please contact us at [email protected], and we will delete it within 30 days.

Aggregated usage data is retained indefinitely but cannot be linked to any individual user.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Right to access — Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Right to deletion — Request that we delete your personal information
  • Right to correction — Request that we correct inaccurate personal information
  • Right to data portability — Request your data in a portable format

Since we only collect your email address, exercising these rights is straightforward. Contact us at [email protected] to exercise any of these rights.

8. Children's Privacy

Trilla is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

9. International Users

Trilla is operated from the United States. If you are accessing Trilla from outside the United States, please be aware that any limited information we collect may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using Trilla, you consent to such transfer and processing.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Our Privacy Commitment

At Trilla, we believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a feature. We built Trilla to run locally on your device because we genuinely don't want access to your data. Your meetings are personal, your conversations are confidential, and your recordings are yours alone.

We will never:

  • Sell your data to anyone
  • Use your data to train AI models
  • Share your information with advertisers
  • Compromise on your privacy for profit

Your data is yours. Period.
