Terms of Service
Last updated: March 6, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of liltype, a macOS dictation application, and the website at liltype.com (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Namuh, Inc. (“we”, “us”, or “our”).
By downloading, installing, or using liltype, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Description of Service
liltype is an offline-first dictation application for macOS. It uses on-device speech recognition (powered by Whisper) to transcribe your voice into text. The Service includes optional paid tiers that provide additional features such as cloud-based speech-to-text, CLI agent integrations, and managed cloud transcription.
2. Accounts
Certain features require you to create an account by signing in with Google or Apple. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activities that occur under it. You must provide accurate information when creating your account.
3. Subscriptions and Billing
liltype offers free and paid subscription tiers. Paid subscriptions are billed through Stripe on a monthly or yearly basis. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
- Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- Refunds. Monthly plans are eligible for a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of the current billing period. Yearly plans are not eligible for refunds; your access continues until the end of the prepaid year. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us at the email below.
- Price changes. We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.
4. BYO API Keys
Certain features allow you to use your own API keys for third-party services (e.g., Deepgram for cloud speech-to-text). These keys are stored locally on your device. We never see, store, transmit, or proxy your API keys. Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms and pricing.
5. Google User Data
This section specifically describes how we handle data received from Google APIs, in compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
5.1. Data Accessed
If you sign in with Google, we request access to the following data only:
- Email address — used to identify your account
- Display name — used to personalize your experience within the app
We do not request access to any other Google data such as contacts, calendar, drive files, or any other Google services.
5.2. Data Usage
Your Google email address and display name are used solely for the purpose of:
- Creating and authenticating your liltype account
- Displaying your name within the app interface
- Associating your account with your subscription status, if applicable
We do not use Google user data for advertising, marketing, or any purpose unrelated to providing and improving the liltype Service.
5.3. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade Google user data to any third party. Google user data is shared only with the following service provider, solely as necessary to operate the Service:
- Supabase — our authentication provider, which stores your email address and display name to manage your account session and identity.
We do not transfer Google user data to any other third parties except as required by applicable law.
5.4. Data Storage & Protection
Google user data (email address and display name) is stored as follows:
- Server-side: Your account record (email, display name) is stored in our Supabase-hosted database, which uses encryption at rest and TLS encryption for all data in transit.
- On your device: Your authentication session (access token and refresh token) is stored in the macOS Keychain, which provides hardware-backed encryption managed by the operating system. Keychain items are configured with
kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly, meaning they cannot be transferred to other devices and are not synced via iCloud.
Access to your account data on our servers requires a valid, signed authentication token. We do not store Google OAuth tokens beyond what is necessary for session management.
5.5. Data Retention & Deletion
We retain your Google user data (email and display name) for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated Google user data at any time by contacting us at support@liltype.com. Upon receiving your request:
- Your account record and all associated personal data will be removed from our servers within 30 days.
- Your local authentication session will be cleared from the macOS Keychain when you sign out of the app.
We may retain anonymized, non-personally-identifiable data (such as aggregate usage statistics) after account deletion.
6. Intellectual Property
The liltype application, website, and all associated content are owned by Namuh, Inc. and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You retain full ownership of all text and content you create using liltype.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the application
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or infrastructure
- Redistribute, sublicense, or resell the application
8. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that transcription results will be accurate, complete, or error-free.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Namuh, Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising from your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately, but provisions that by their nature should survive (such as limitations of liability) will remain in effect.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
