Privacy by architecture

Your work stays yours.

Coaching this personal only works on trust. So GameTape is private by design: it observes your screen as text on your own Mac — through the same interface a screen reader uses — and only scrubbed text, never a picture, leaves it.

What we promise

GameTape observes your work, not your screen.

Observed, not recorded

Your work is observed as text on your Mac by plain code — no picture, no AI at this step.

Off-limits by default

Password managers, banking, and private browsing are skipped in code — not a setting to remember.

Scrubbed before it leaves

Credentials, card numbers, personal identifiers, API keys — stripped before anything leaves your Mac.

The fallback, disclosed

The few surfaces that can't be read as text get one screenshot, described in words, then deleted. The image never reaches our servers.

Meetings, handled honestly

Only the meetings you choose to record. Audio becomes a transcript, then the recording is deleted. We keep the words — not your voice.

You hold the off switch

Pause from the menu bar anytime. Nothing is captured while locked, paused, or outside your working hours. Background tabs are never read.

A short list, held to a high bar

Who touches your data.

We work with a small set of providers, each named in our privacy policy. We never sell your data, and we never use it to train advertising or third-party models.

Zero retention, scoped honestly Our AI and transcription providers are barred from keeping your data or training on it. Screenshots and meeting audio are deleted once they become text. The written tape itself stays in your account — that's the product — until you delete it.
Minimum necessary Each provider sees only the slice it needs — a description request, an audio file to transcribe, an email to deliver. Never your full picture.
Named in full No anonymous subprocessors. The complete list, and what each one does, lives in our privacy policy.
Yours to delete Delete your account and your data goes with it — summaries, transcripts, coaching history.
On your Mac
Your screen is observed as text and classified on your own machine. No picture of it reaches our servers.
In transit
Everything that travels between your Mac and GameTape is encrypted.
Sign-in
Sign in with Google. We never see or store a password.
Hosting
Hosted in the United States.

We're a small team, so here's exactly where things stand: on-device classification, a hard block-list, and encryption in transit today, with formal third-party audits planned as we grow. Data kept on your Mac is protected by macOS's built-in disk encryption.

The tape is yours.
