We are transparent. This policy explains how PPQ Whisper handles your data.
Last updated: February 14, 2026
When you use PPQ Whisper, your audio is streamed through our servers and to third-party speech-to-text (STT) and language model (LLM) providers for transcription and cleanup. We do not store your audio or transcribed text on our servers. PPQ Whisper submits API requests to these providers anonymously.
Speech-to-text (Deepgram): Your audio is sent to Deepgram for transcription. Deepgram's data training is off by default for API customers. View their privacy policy for details.
Language models (Cerebras, Groq): The raw transcription is sent to Cerebras or Groq for cleanup. To our knowledge, these providers do not use your data to train new models.
