Privacy Policy – Wavisto

Last updated: 3 November 2026

In short

Wavisto edits your audio files on your Mac only. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. Data leaves your Mac only when you send a message yourself with “Send Feedback”.

Controller

What stays on your Mac

• Audio files and recordings: whatever you open, record, edit or save is read and written on your Mac only. The app can access only the files and folders you choose or drag into its window (macOS sandbox).
• Emergency backups: so that nothing is lost after a crash, the app keeps unsaved changes and recordings in progress in its own app folder on your Mac and deletes them once they are no longer needed.
• Settings, presets, recently opened files: in the app’s own folder on your Mac.
• Microphone and sound of other apps: only while you record, only after you allow it in macOS; the recording stays on your Mac.
• Transcription (“Transcribe”): uses the macOS speech recognition on the device only; nothing is sent to Apple or anyone else.
• Separating instruments, detecting chords and beats: computed with built-in models on your Mac.
• Music library: with your permission the app reads the list of your songs so that you can open one; it does not change the library.

Audio Unit plug-ins from other makers that you installed yourself and use in Wavisto run under their own terms; what they do is the responsibility of their makers.

Send Feedback

Data leaves your Mac only when you send a message with “Help → Send Feedback…”. It contains:

• the kind of message (e.g. bug, suggestion) and your text,
• optionally your name and email address (for a reply),
• unless you untick the box: the version of Wavisto, the version of macOS and the app’s language.

The message is sent encrypted (HTTPS) to a relay at Cloudflare (Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare, Inc., USA), which forwards it through the email service Resend (resend.com, USA) as an email to the developer’s mailbox (Google Gmail). During the transfer these services technically also see your IP address. The relay does not store the message; afterwards it is kept as an email in the developer’s mailbox.

The purpose is to read your message, reply to you and improve Wavisto. The legal basis is the consent you give by sending it (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and, if you want a reply, handling your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The email is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for that, at the latest after 12 months.

These services also process data in the USA. Cloudflare, Resend (contracting party Plus Five Five, Inc.) and Google are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The transfer relies on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for it (Art. 45 GDPR) and, for Cloudflare and Resend, additionally on standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).

No other data collection

Wavisto contains no advertising, no analytics or crash-reporting services and no tracking, and it needs no account. Apart from feedback, the app does not connect to the internet.

This website

These pages use no cookies and no scripts and load nothing from other servers. They are hosted on Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc., USA); when you open them, Cloudflare technically processes your IP address to deliver the page.

Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, to data portability and to object, and you can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. Write to hufnaglh@gmail.com. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority; in Austria this is the Datenschutzbehörde (www.dsb.gv.at).

Changes

If the way Wavisto handles data changes, this policy will be updated; the version with the latest date applies.
