Privacy
Cira is built so there's as little to protect as possible — most of what happens, happens only on your Mac.
The short version
- Your audio is never logged or stored.
- Your dictated text is never logged or stored on our servers, by default.
- The on-device Persian model never sends anything off your Mac.
- We never train Cira's or anyone else's AI models on your writing.
- We never learn from Cira's own output — only from what you said and the edits you made.
Memory — learning how you write
Cira's Memory learns how you write — your words, your tone for different kinds of writing, and the edits you keep making — so your dictations sound more like you the more you use Cira. By default this learning happens entirely on your Mac. Memory is off until you turn it on, and you can turn it off, view what Cira has learned, and delete all of it at any time.
What stays on your Mac, always:
- Your learning history — encrypted, never uploaded.
- The on-device index Cira uses to find similar past examples — never leaves your Mac.
- Your insights ("How you write") — built from your own history, on-device.
The one thing that can leave your Mac (optional, Pro, only when you ask):
If you turn on "Learn my style" and press "Refresh my style," Cira sends the edits and corrections you've made to your own text (not your full writing) to a vetted partner that builds a short summary of your style. We show you exactly what will be sent before it leaves, let you remove anything you don't want to send, and automatically strip out secrets we detect. The partner is contractually forbidden from keeping your text or training on it — your text is discarded after the card is built. Only the short style card comes back, and it's encrypted on your Mac before it's ever synced, so even we can't read it.
If you're on the Free plan
Using an imported voice card: that still works exactly as before. Because you typed and pasted that card yourself, it's stored on our servers in a readable form so it can sync across your devices — it is not end-to-end encrypted the way the Pro-learned card is.
Your controls:
Two switches, both off by default — Learn my style, and Help improve Cira (an anonymized signal; nothing you wrote ever leaves your Mac). View or delete your learning history any time. One button wipes everything, on every device — this can't be undone. Export a human-readable summary of your voice, or a re-importable file to move to Cira on another Mac.
Billing
Payments are processed by Stripe. We don't store your card details.
