Privacy Policy

Clover LDT, LLC respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the blah.™ application, how we use it, how we protect it, and what rights you have with respect to your personal data. Please read it carefully. By using blah.™, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. blah.™ does all of its dictation work on your computer. Your voice audio, transcripts, and output never leave your device. The Software contains no analytics, no telemetry, and no tracking. The only personal data we handle is the minimum needed to sell you a license and support you. 1. Who We Are blah.™ is developed and distributed by Clover LDT, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Idaho, United States of America. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Clover LDT, LLC acts as the data controller with respect to personal data collected in connection with the Software. Clover LDT, LLC 9030 N Hess St, #1002 Hayden, Idaho 83835-9827 United States of America Privacy Inquiries: privacy@blah.audio Website: https://www.cloverldt.com 2. Scope of This Policy This Privacy Policy applies only to: The blah.™ desktop application (the version accompanying this Policy and later versions that reference it); The blah.audio website and its associated pages and services used for blah.™ support, purchase, or license activation; and Any communications between you and Clover LDT, LLC related to the Software or your blah.™ license. This Policy is specific to blah.™. Other products, services, or websites that Clover LDT, LLC may offer now or in the future are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not by this one. This Policy also does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked from our website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use. 3. Information We Collect 3.1 Information You Provide Directly When you purchase a license or contact us for support, we collect: Email address (for license delivery, license management, and support communications); and Communications and correspondence you send to us (e.g., support requests). Purchases are processed by our merchant of record (Paddle), which handles payment and billing information under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive or store your full payment card details. 3.2 Information Collected at License Activation When you activate the Software, the activation service receives: Your license key; A one-way cryptographic hash of a hardware identifier of your device — the raw hardware identifier itself never leaves your device, and the hash cannot be reversed to identify your hardware; and An optional device nickname you supply (e.g., "my laptop"), used to identify the activation for license management. Activation is a one-time network call (repeated only if you move the license to another device). After activation, the Software verifies your license entirely offline; it does not contact our servers during normal use. 3.3 What We Do NOT Collect Because blah.™ processes all audio and transcription locally on your device, we do NOT: Collect, transmit, or store any audio recordings you make; Collect, transmit, or store any transcribed text, translations, or other output you generate with the Software; Collect usage analytics, telemetry, feature-usage statistics, crash reports, or diagnostic logs — the Software contains no analytics or tracking of any kind; Access your microphone data beyond the moment of local processing; or Collect payment card numbers or financial account details (see Section 3.1). 4. How We Use Your Information Clover LDT, LLC uses the information collected for the following purposes: License management — to issue, activate, verify, and manage your software license, including device moves; Support — to respond to your inquiries and provide technical support; Product notices — to communicate important information about your license, security notices, and renewal options for updates released after your upgrade window (see the End User License Agreement); Legal compliance — to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes; and Security — to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent license activity or abuse of the activation service. We will not use your personal data for any purpose incompatible with those listed above without first obtaining your consent or as otherwise required by law. 5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR) For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Clover LDT, LLC processes personal data on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national law: Contract performance — processing your email address and activation data is necessary to fulfill the license agreement and provide support; Legitimate interests — processing necessary to secure the activation service and prevent license fraud, provided such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights; Consent — where required by law (e.g., for optional marketing communications), we will obtain your explicit consent before processing; and Legal obligation — processing necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. 6. Cookies and Similar Technologies The blah.™ desktop application does not use cookies or any similar tracking technologies. Our website may use a minimal set of cookies: Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to function (e.g., session management for the checkout flow); and Preference cookies — to remember your language or display preferences. You may manage, disable, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. 7.

International Data Transfers Clover LDT, LLC is based in the United States. If you access the Software or our services from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, where we transfer personal data to countries not recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or rely on other lawful transfer mechanisms as permitted by applicable law. 9. Data Retention We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the duration of your active software license and for a reasonable period thereafter to: Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements); Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements; and Maintain records as required by applicable law. When personal data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized. 10. Data Security Clover LDT, LLC implements commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include: Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard protocols (TLS/HTTPS); Cryptographically signed license files, with device identifiers stored only as one-way hashes; Access controls limiting personal data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis; and Regular review of our security practices. Please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

If you believe your license has been compromised, please contact us immediately at support@blah.audio. 11. Children's Privacy blah.™ is designed for users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of thirteen (13). Users between the ages of thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) must have parental or guardian consent before using the Software, consistent with the terms of the blah.™ End User License Agreement. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under thirteen (13) without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
