Security & Privacy Overview

How KolWrite stores and processes your content, who helps us do it, and how long we keep it. This page summarizes our Privacy Policy, which remains the authoritative text.

Data Security Measures

Encryption at Rest

Files you store are kept in our cloud storage, which encrypts stored files with AES-256. Connected Google account authorizations and synced voice signatures are also encrypted in our database.

Encryption in Transit

KolWrite connects to our servers over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections.

Where it is hosted

Our main servers are in Germany, and the GPU computers we operate ourselves are in Israel. Our cloud infrastructure providers store files and deliver our websites from global networks. Cloud GPU servers may be in different countries, and cloud AI requests may be routed to any region with capacity.

Security limits

No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that information will never be compromised.

User Control and Data Privacy

AI and training

We do not use your content to train AI models. Before a cloud AI feature sends your content to the provider that runs the model, the app asks for your consent; features that run on your device, such as on-device transcription, do not send your content to these providers.

Deletion and retention

You can delete your recordings, files, chats and account at any time. Your content stays until you delete it. Records of AI requests on our servers are deleted 30 days after each request, or sooner if you delete the chat. Deleted data may remain in backup copies until those copies are replaced or deleted.
