Privacy Policy
Short version: everything Dumpr does stays on your iPhone. There is no Dumpr server, no account, and no analytics. The app never sends your words anywhere — the only ways anything you said can leave your phone are if you share a dump with someone, or you send us a report when Dumpr gets something wrong.
What Dumpr does with your data
Dumpr is a voice-capture and routing tool. It processes audio you record and routes the results to Apple’s system apps on your device. The entire pipeline — recording, transcription, classification, and routing — runs on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a Dumpr server, because there is no Dumpr server.
Audio
Audio is recorded only while you hold a capture session open and the microphone indicator is shown. Audio buffers are passed directly to Apple’s on-device speech recognition framework and are never written to your device’s storage. Audio is never transmitted to any server — by Dumpr or anyone else.
When you end a recording session, the audio is discarded. The only thing kept is the text transcript.
Transcripts
Transcripts of what you said are stored locally on your device in a private database. They are:
- Never uploaded to any server.
- Never synced via iCloud, Dropbox, or any cloud service. (If you use Apple’s Encrypted iCloud Backup, your device’s local data — including Dumpr’s database — may be included in that backup under your own Apple ID. That is your backup, not ours.)
- Never analysed remotely.
You can delete individual dumps or clear the entire history from within the app at any time.
Classification and segmentation
After a recording, Dumpr splits your transcript into items and classifies each as a task, calendar event, or note. This runs entirely on-device using one of two approaches depending on your iPhone:
- On Apple Intelligence-capable devices (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 / iPhone 17 models, with Apple Intelligence enabled): Dumpr uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework. The transcript is processed by a model that runs on the device’s Neural Engine and never leaves the device.
- On other supported devices: Dumpr uses a text classifier that ships inside the app itself and runs locally with no network access.
In both cases, your transcript never leaves your phone during classification.
Routing to system apps
When you confirm items in the review sheet, Dumpr writes them to:
- Apple Reminders — via Apple’s EventKit framework, locally.
- Apple Calendar — via Apple’s EventKit framework, locally.
- Things 3 — if you’ve chosen it, via Things 3’s URL scheme, locally.
- Apple Notes — via the iOS share sheet, when you tap “Save to Notes”.
Dumpr does not transmit anything to any server at this stage. Whether those destination apps subsequently sync their data (for example, Reminders syncing via iCloud) is governed by your own settings for those apps.
Sharing a dump
When you choose to share a dump with someone, Dumpr encodes the items into a URL of the form https://dumpr.agnticstudio.com/dump?... and presents it via the iOS share sheet. You choose how to send it — Messages, Mail, AirDrop, WhatsApp, etc.
The entire payload is encoded in the URL itself (specifically in the URL’s query parameters). The domain dumpr.agnticstudio.com hosts a static web page only. It does not receive requests carrying your data, does not have a database, and does not log or store anything about the link or its contents. The only thing Dumpr operates at that domain is a static fallback page for recipients who don’t have the app installed.
The chosen sharing channel (Messages, Mail, etc.) has its own privacy policy, which is independent of Dumpr.
Reporting a mistake to us
This is the only circumstance in which anything you said can reach us, and it never happens unless you deliberately make it happen.
If Dumpr gets something wrong and you correct it on the review screen — change an item’s category, edit a title, set a date by hand, deselect or delete an item — a prompt appears offering to share what went wrong. It appears only after a correction. If you accept a dump as-is, you will never see it.
If you tap it, your Mail app opens with a report addressed to us, which you can read and edit before sending. Nothing is sent until you press send, and you can change or delete any part of it first — or simply close the window.
The report contains:
- The transcript of that dump
- What Dumpr proposed for each item, and what you changed it to
- The app version and build, your iOS version, your device model (e.g. “iPhone17,1”), your current locale, and whether Apple Intelligence was available
It does not contain any account (there isn’t one), any advertising or device identifier, or your device’s serial number — iOS does not make one available to apps.
Dumpr does not upload the report. The app has no server to upload it to. It hands the text to Mail (or, if you have no mail account set up, to the iOS share sheet so you can pick another way to send it). The message is sent by that app, from your own address, exactly as if you had written it yourself.
Reports sent to us are used only to find and fix mistakes in how Dumpr sorts things. They are not sold, licensed, shared with third parties, or used to train anyone else’s models. If you’d like a report you sent deleted, email us and we’ll remove it.
Dumps that were shared with you by someone else never offer this prompt, because that transcript is not yours to send us.
Permissions
Dumpr requests the following permissions from iOS:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Microphone | To record audio during a capture session |
| Speech Recognition | To transcribe your recording on-device |
| Calendar | To create calendar events you’ve confirmed |
| Reminders | To create tasks you’ve confirmed |
| Notifications | To tell you when a capture has finished routing, and to offer a shortcut back into the app to change something |
Each permission is requested in context with an explanation. You can grant or revoke any permission independently in Settings → Privacy & Security on your iPhone. Revoking a permission only breaks the specific feature it supports.
Third-party SDKs
Dumpr contains no third-party SDKs, advertising identifiers, analytics frameworks, or telemetry libraries. There is no crash reporter, no A/B testing service, no session replay tool, and no advertising network. The only frameworks used are Apple’s own system frameworks.
Children
Dumpr does not knowingly collect any information from anyone. The app collects no personal data at all — the only thing that ever reaches us is a report a user has deliberately written and sent from their own email account (see Reporting a mistake to us). Dumpr is designed as a productivity tool for adults and is not directed at children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the app after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
