GeekBye Listen: Current Data Handling

Current behavior

Listen uses the permissions and settings you choose. GeekBye can keep screenshots, transcripts, and other session material on your device, while AI requests go through the authenticated GeekBye backend.

New account databases and saved non-video assets are encrypted from creation. Videos remain unencrypted. Review saved sessions, recovery-audio preferences, telemetry controls, and the current privacy policy before sharing sensitive material.

Read the current privacy guidance

For the documented controls and limitations, see Privacy and your data.
