Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 June 2026

Fly on the Wall ("Fly", "we") is a macOS app that helps you during meetings, interviews, and presentations. Privacy is the core of the product, so this policy is short and concrete.

What happens on your device

Audio is transcribed on your Mac using Apple's on-device Speech framework. Audio is never uploaded to us or anyone else.
Transcripts are stored only on your Mac, in a folder you control. We never receive or store your meeting transcripts.
Search runs on your device. Cross-meeting search builds and stores its index locally; your meeting history is not uploaded.

What leaves your device

To generate an answer, Fly sends only the text needed for that answer — your question plus the relevant conversation context (for the live copilot, the running transcript of the current session; for cross-meeting questions, only the retrieved passages) — to Anthropic's Claude API.

Bring-your-own-key mode: requests go directly from your Mac to Anthropic under Anthropic's terms. We never see them.
Hosted mode: requests pass through our proxy, which forwards them to Anthropic. We do not store your prompts, transcripts, or the model's responses — the proxy only counts tokens for billing and immediately discards the content.

Accounts & what we store

There is no login. A license key (glk_…) identifies your plan. We store:

a one-way hash of your license key (never the key itself) and your token-usage count;
your email address, to deliver your key and manage your subscription.

We do not store audio, transcripts, prompts, or model responses on our servers.

Service providers

Anthropic — runs the Claude model that generates answers.
Stripe — processes payments (only Stripe holds your name/card details).
Resend — emails your license key to you.
Fly.io & Neon — host the proxy and the license database.
Cloudflare — serves this website.

Your choices

Use bring-your-own-key mode to keep us entirely out of the loop. Delete local transcripts at any time (they're plain files on your Mac). To delete your account data (email + license), email us.

Disclosed use: Fly is built for honest, disclosed assistance. Please follow your employer's or institution's AI policies. The screen-share-invisible overlay is a privacy feature (like a password manager staying off a shared screen), not a tool to deceive — and it is best-effort, not guaranteed.

Changes & contact

We'll update the date above when this policy changes. Questions: hello@fly-on-the-wall.com.
