Privacy & Security
What you write is yours.
Typeover sits where you type, so we built it to protect what you write at every step. Here is exactly what happens to your text, what we keep, and what we never do.
While you type
The translation appears just above the line you're writing. None of what you type is sent anywhere or stored by Typeover while you type. Typeover is always off in password fields and terminals, and you can turn it off in any other app.
Your history
Translations you've seen are saved so you can find them again. Your history is stored only on your Mac and encrypted with AES-256, using a key that's created on your Mac and never leaves it. We can't read your history, and it's never uploaded. You can clear it, or turn off history entirely, in Settings.
When you use Rewrite
Rewrite only runs when you ask for it. Only the text you choose is sent, over an encrypted HTTPS connection, to be rewritten in the tone you pick. The rewritten text comes straight back to you.
- Typeover doesn't store the text you rewrite. Our records keep only the tone and the number of characters, never the words.
- Your text isn't used to train AI models.
Your account
Your Typeover account holds your name, your language and app settings, and usage counts (for example, how many translations you've seen). Never what you type. Your sign-in is a random key stored securely on your Mac; our servers keep only a one-way hash of it.
When you write to us
If you send a message from the contact page, its text is encrypted with AES-256 before it's stored, with a key kept separately from our database. We keep your name and email address so we can reply. If you join the waitlist, we store only your email address, to tell you when Typeover is ready.
What we never do
- Sell or share your data.
- Show ads or build advertising profiles.
- Use analytics, trackers or third-party scripts on this website.
- Read password fields or terminals.
You're in control
- Clear your history, or stop saving it, in Settings.
- Turn Typeover off in any app, or switch off Translate While Typing from the menu bar.
- Delete your account data any time: Settings › Delete My Account Data.
- Ask us to delete a waitlist entry or a message: support@typeover.app.
Questions
Is Typeover end-to-end encrypted?
Your history is encrypted on your Mac and never leaves it, so only you can read it. Rewrite works differently: to rewrite your text, our server has to read it. That's why Rewrite only runs when you ask, sends just the text you choose over an encrypted connection, and doesn't store it.
Can Typeover read my history?
No. Your history is stored only on your Mac, encrypted with a key that never leaves it, and it's never uploaded.
Is my text used to train AI?
No. Text you rewrite isn't used to train AI models, and Typeover doesn't store it.
How do I delete my data?
In the app, go to Settings › Delete My Account Data. To clear your history, use Settings too. For a waitlist entry or a message you sent us, email support@typeover.app.
