1. Information we collect

Information you provide. The text you enter or upload is processed only to generate the audio you request. We do not require an account, and we do not store the text you submit beyond the time it takes to render the audio.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Service, our hosting provider may log standard request data (IP address, user-agent string, referer, timestamp) for security and abuse-prevention purposes. We may use a privacy-friendly analytics tool that records anonymous, aggregated usage information such as page views and feature interactions.

Cookies and local storage. We use a small number of first-party cookies and browser local-storage entries to remember your preferences (selected voice, speed, pitch, dark/light theme, language). These do not identify you personally.

2. How we use information

• To deliver and improve the text-to-speech service.
• To diagnose technical issues and protect against abuse.
• To save your interface preferences locally on your device.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. Third-party services

The audio synthesis is performed by a third-party speech engine. The text you submit is transmitted to that engine in order to render audio; it is not retained by us afterwards. Analytics and content-delivery providers, where used, are bound by their own privacy policies and only receive the minimum data necessary to provide their service.

4. Data retention

• Submitted text and generated audio — held only in your browser session and discarded when you close the page.
• Server logs — retained for up to 30 days for security purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymized.
• Preferences — stored on your device until you clear your browser storage.

5. Your rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or another jurisdiction with applicable data-protection law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal information that relates to you. To exercise these rights, contact us using the email address below.

6. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

7. International transfers

The Service is operated globally and your data may be processed in countries other than your own. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures (HTTPS in transit, access controls on infrastructure) to protect data. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
