Local first. By design.

Voice and on-device processing

Bubba's wake word and dictation run on your Mac using Apple's Neural Engine and the WhisperKit on-device speech-to-text model. Audio is processed locally and discarded. Bubba does not stream microphone audio to KeepCo LLC, to Anthropic, or to any other third party.

When you ask Bubba to take an action that requires a cloud model (a chat response, a summary, a code edit), the textual transcript of your request is sent to the LLM provider you have configured in your Bring Your Own Key settings. That provider's privacy policy applies to the transcript.

Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK)

Bubba uses your Anthropic API key (and optionally your ElevenLabs key) for AI usage. KeepCo LLC does not see your API keys, your prompts, or your model responses. Keys are stored on your Mac in the macOS Keychain. Usage and billing for AI calls happen directly between you and the provider.

What we collect on the website and at checkout

• Email address. Required for the Stripe receipt, the install link, and refund requests.
• Stripe customer record. Standard payment information held by Stripe under their privacy policy. KeepCo LLC sees your email, last four digits of card, billing address, and subscription status. We do not store full card numbers.
• Privacy-respecting site analytics. Aggregate page views, referrers, and rough geography. No third-party cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking. Todo Confirm provider before launch.

What we share with third parties

• Stripe. For payment processing.
• Email provider. For transactional emails (receipt, install link, refund deadline reminder). Todo Confirm provider.
• Anthropic and other LLM providers. Only if you configure their keys, and only the prompts you send through Bubba.

We do not sell your data. We do not run advertising pixels. We do not include third-party trackers on this site beyond what's listed above.

Data retention

Email and Stripe records are retained for as long as your subscription is active and for seven years after cancellation for tax and legal reasons. Todo Confirm retention with counsel.
