Terms of use
Publisher
Aparté is published by Matthieu Milliot, as an individual. Address: 5 bis rue d'Auteuil, 75016 Paris, France. Contact: matthieu.milliot@gmail.com.
Purpose
Aparté records your meetings with iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, transcribes them on the iPhone or iPad and writes a summary using an artificial intelligence model. By using the app, you accept these terms.
A beta version
Aparté is in beta: it may contain errors, change or be interrupted without notice. It is provided with no guarantee of availability.
Summaries to review
The transcript and the summary are produced automatically and may contain errors, omissions or incorrect attributions. Review them before using or sharing them: they do not replace official minutes.
Free hour and subscription
- Each installation gets 1 hour of summaries free every calendar month (in Coordinated Universal Time, UTC), for 3 months: the month in which the app first connects to the service and the two following months. Reinstalling the app does not restart these 3 months. Unused time does not carry over. The meeting that crosses this limit is summarized in full.
- Beyond this hour, or once the 3 months have passed, the Aparté Premium subscription, monthly or yearly, gives access to summaries up to 25 hours per calendar month. Prices are those shown in the App Store at the time of purchase.
- Aparté Premium offers a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial, the subscription is then charged at the yearly price.
- The time counted is the longest of three values: the recorded duration, one second for every three transcribed words, and one second for every twenty-five transcribed characters. Each summary counts as at least 10 minutes, even for a shorter meeting. The time counted is capped at 4 hours per meeting.
- To protect the service, the number of requests is limited per hour, and the service may be suspended temporarily in case of exceptional use.
Payment, renewal and cancellation
The subscription is paid with your Apple Account and renews automatically for each period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings, under Subscriptions, or from Aparté, Settings, Manage subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for.
Refunds
Purchases are processed by Apple: any refund goes through Apple, under its terms, by making the request from your Apple Account (reportaproblem.apple.com). Aparté cannot directly refund a purchase made in the App Store. The rights the law grants you as a consumer still apply.
Your obligations: informing participants
Before recording, you must inform the participants and obtain their consent. Recording, without their consent, words spoken in a private or confidential capacity is punishable under Article 226-1 of the French Criminal Code. You alone are responsible for how you use Aparté and for the recordings you make. Do not use the app for any unlawful purpose.
Personal data
The data processed by Aparté, what is sent to Anthropic and what stays on your iPhone or iPad are described in the privacy policy. Sending the transcript to Claude requires your consent, which you can withdraw in Settings.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Aparté is provided as is during the beta, and the publisher is not liable for the consequences of an error in a summary, of unavailability or of data loss. These limitations do not apply where the law prohibits them, in particular with regard to consumers.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, the competent courts are determined according to the rules that apply to consumers.
Changes
These terms may change; the date of the last update appears at the top of the page.
