Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Voco Speech ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website and in using our software.

This Privacy Policy applies to our website (vocospeech.com) and our desktop application. By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Local-First Architecture

Voco Speech is designed with a "Local-First" architecture tailored for privacy.

• Voice Processing: All voice synthesis, voice cloning, and audio generation happen locally on your device (Mac). Your voice recordings and generated audio are never uploaded to our servers for processing.
• Reference Audio: The reference audio files you use for voice cloning are stored locally on your machine. We do not have access to your audio files.

3. Information We Collect

While the core AI processing is local, we collect minimal data to operate our business and improve the software:

• Account Information: When you purchase a license, we collect your email address to manage your subscription and license key.
• Usage Analytics: We use third-party analytics tools to collect anonymous, aggregated telemetry data (e.g., feature usage counts) to help us improve stability.
• Payment Information: All payments are processed by secure third-party payment processors. We do not store or process your credit card numbers or banking information on our servers.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for:

• Processing your payments and activating your license.
• Sending you important updates, such as security patches or version upgrades.
• Debugging application crashes and improving performance.
• Complying with legal obligations.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with trusted third-party service providers necessary to run our business:

• Payment Processors: To securely process transactions.
• Authentication Services: To manage secure user logins and license validation.
• Analytics Providers: To understand how our features are used and improve the software.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• Access: The right to request copies of your personal data.
• Deletion: The right to request that we delete your personal data (e.g., your account).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@vocospeech.com.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
