Privacy by Design
I. We do not record your words.
With our native apps, your words are never transmitted to okay human. Using cryptographic techniques, we are able to prove your effort in a document presented to us. We store only a representation of your text, one that cannot be reversed back into the text.
II. We hear you typing. Nothing else.
okay human uses your microphone for one thing: to hear the sound of your fingers on the keyboard. Not your voice. Not your conversations. We use this signal to put together evidence of your writing and then discard that signal.
Digital signals can be faked. A script can inject keystrokes. Software can simulate typing patterns. The microphone gives us something a script cannot produce: physical proof that someone was actually writing. Combining this with how you type, how long you spend, and how you edit, is what makes the stamp real.
III. How this compares.
Most writing verification tools record keystrokes, track every edit, record paste events, store session data on their servers, and build a replayable record of your entire writing session. The result is a surveillance record that serves the institution, not the writer.
okay human is built for the person writing. We designed the architecture so that we cannot access your content. We built this policy decision into a structural one. We do not merely promise not to misuse your data; we built the system so there is no data to misuse.
The text can be generated.
The interactions that go into writing cannot be.
