Your privacy choices
Aparté creates no account, shows no ads and includes no audience measurement tool: there is no advertising tracking to refuse. Here is what you can control yourself, and where.
Sending your transcripts to Claude
In Aparté, Settings, Privacy section, the “Summaries by Claude” option allows the transcript and the context of the meeting to be sent to Claude, Anthropic's model. When it is off, nothing is sent: your meetings are transcribed on the device and wait, without a summary, until you turn it back on. You can change your mind at any time.
Your calendar and the names of participants
In Aparté, Settings, Permissions and calendar section, the “Link meetings to your calendar” option decides whether the title of the scheduled event and the names of the people invited to it accompany the transcript. When it is off, Aparté no longer reads your calendar. Email addresses are never sent.
Choosing a participant from your contacts does not give access to your address book: only the chosen name is kept.
iPhone and iPad permissions
The microphone, speech recognition, calendar, location and notifications are managed in the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, under Aparté, or from the app with “Review permissions”. The meeting location stays on the device: it is never sent to the Aparté server or to Claude. To find its address, the device queries Apple's maps service.
Deleting your data
- On the iPhone or iPad: in Aparté, Settings, Privacy section, “Delete all meetings” erases the summaries, the transcripts and the audio. Deleting the app erases its data from the device, except the install identifier, kept in the keychain so that a reinstall restores neither the month's free hour nor the 3 months of the offer. Remember your iCloud or local backups as well.
- On the Aparté server: it keeps no transcript and no summary, only usage records linked to the install identifier, without your name. Its logs are purged after two hours and after two days, the host's technical logs after 7 days at most; the rest is deleted when the beta closes, or earlier on request to matthieu.milliot@gmail.com.
- At Anthropic: the transcripts received are deleted within 30 days, except where required by law or for content flagged as violating Anthropic's usage policy (kept for up to 2 years), and are not used for training the models.
Your subscription
The Aparté Premium subscription is managed in your Apple Account settings, under Subscriptions, or from Aparté, Settings, “Manage subscription”. Aparté receives neither your name nor your payment method.
Usage measurement
The Aparté server measures how the app is used by itself, with no third-party tool: the install's activity days, the time and cost of summaries, the move to a subscription. The publisher only looks at totals. To object, write to matthieu.milliot@gmail.com: the activity days linked to your install will be deleted.
Your rights
The data controller is Matthieu Milliot. To exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability, write to matthieu.milliot@gmail.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr), the French data protection authority. The details of what is processed are in the privacy policy.
