What Recall can see, what it stores, and what never leaves your Mac.
A plain-language register of Recall's security controls, the third parties we use, and where we stand on formal compliance. No badge on this page claims more than we can prove.
Vendors that receive your work content: none, unless you share diagnostics.
Because Recall's AI runs on your Mac, there is no cloud AI vendor in this table. No screenshots, transcriptions, or work descriptions flow to any third party, with one opt-in exception. The vendors below handle account plumbing: payments, email, hosting, crash reports. The single conditional row is diagnostics storage, which only ever holds bug reports you explicitly chose to send us: analysis traces, screenshots redacted on your device before upload, and any text you add.
| Vendor | Purpose | Data received | Work content? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddle | Payments, billing, and licence management (merchant of record) | Name, email address, payment details, purchase history | No |
| Cloudflare | Website hosting, account records, and licence infrastructure | Email address, licence and referral records, standard web logs | No |
| Resend | Transactional email (licence keys, invites, product notices) | Email address, email contents we send you | No |
| Sentry | Crash reporting | Crash stack traces, macOS version, hardware model, a random install ID | No |
| Scaleway | EU object storage for opt-in diagnostics bundles | Bug-report bundles (analysis traces, screenshots with on-device redaction applied, and any text you add), only if you enable diagnostics sharing | Only with your opt-in, redacted |
| AppSumo | Licence-code sales for AppSumo customers | Their own customer and purchase records (AppSumo purchases only) | No |
| Apple | App notarization and macOS distribution requirements | The app binary for notarization scanning, no user data | No |
This list is complete as of August 2026. If we add a vendor, it appears here before it processes anything.
Where Recall gets shaped.
The subreddit is public: anyone can read and search it. The Telegram group is smaller, and the people in it see builds before they ship.
