Privacy Policy

What personal information Canens collects, how your audio is handled while subtitles are produced, and the rights you have over your data.

Draft — under review before publication Draft dated November 11, 2026 Written in the spirit of Québec's Law 25
This text is a draft.

It has not yet been legally reviewed and is published here for review. Two points are still to be confirmed before the final version: the official contact email address and the named operator details in the contact section.

Language
Full text in both languages — the French version follows the same nine sections.

01 Who we are

Canens is a Windows application that shows live subtitles, in the original language and in translation, for everything your computer plays. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and what your rights are. It is written in the spirit of Québec's Law 25 (An Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information).

02 What we collect

We collect only what the service needs to work:

  • Your email address, to create and manage your account.
  • Your password, stored only in hashed form (unreadable), never in plain text.
  • Your usage counters: the number of seconds transcribed, your hour balance per plan (free, membership, packs), and the history of those movements.
  • Minimal technical information: the type of device connected to your account and login and security logs, kept to protect accounts.

We do not collect files from your computer and we do not access your other applications.

03 Audio: the most important point

To produce subtitles, the audio of speech segments captured by the application is sent, over an encrypted connection, to our transcription provider, Groq, which turns it into text.

What happens to your audio

  • Audio is not stored by Canens. It passes through for transcription and is not kept on our servers.
  • Subtitle text is not stored on our servers. It is displayed on your screen and is not part of your account data.
  • Only the counters (the seconds transcribed) are kept, because they determine your hour balance.

Processing of audio by this provider is subject to the provider's own privacy policy. We choose providers with the requirement that they do not retain processed audio.

04 Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store any card number. Stripe sends us only the payment confirmation, the amount, and the identifiers needed to link the purchase to your account.

05 What we do not do

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We run no targeted advertising and install no advertising trackers.
  • We do not keep your conversations, your videos, or their transcripts.

06 Retention and deletion

  • Account data is kept while your account is active.
  • If you close your account, your personal information is deleted within 30 days, except transaction records the law requires us to keep for accounting purposes.
  • Security logs are kept for 12 months.

07 Your rights

Under Law 25, you may:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask for correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask for deletion of your account and your information.
  • Withdraw your consent to the use of your information, which ends the service.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the address in section 9. We respond within 30 days.

08 Security and incidents

Your data is transmitted and stored with reasonable security measures (encryption in transit, hashed passwords, restricted access). If a confidentiality incident presents a risk of serious harm, we will notify you and the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec, as required by law.
