We built Voice to Text with privacy in mind. The short version: your audio is transcribed and immediately discarded. We don't store it, sell it, or share it. Ever.
Who We Are
Voice to Text is operated by an individual sole trader. References to "we," "us," or "our" in this policy refer to the operator of voicetotext.pro and the Voice to Text Chrome Extension.
For any questions about this policy, contact us at contact form.
What Data We Collect
We collect as little data as possible. Here is exactly what happens when you use Voice to Text:
- Audio recordings: When you record your voice, the audio is sent to a transcription service for processing. It is transcribed and immediately discarded. We do not store your audio on any server.
- Transcribed text: The resulting text is returned to your browser. We do not store or log the content of your transcriptions.
- Usage data: We collect anonymous, aggregated data on request counts and format types (e.g. how many "email" format requests were made). This contains no personal information.
- IP addresses: Your IP address is used only for rate limiting (to prevent abuse). It is not stored beyond the duration of your session.
We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information. The extension requires no sign-up.
How We Use Your Data
The limited data we collect is used solely to:
- Provide the transcription service
- Prevent abuse of the service (rate limiting)
- Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve the product
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the service.
We do not sell your data to any third party. We do not share your data with advertisers.
Cookies
The Voice to Text website does not use tracking cookies or analytics cookies. The only cookies that may be set are strictly necessary technical cookies set by our hosting provider for security and performance purposes. These are exempt from consent requirements under GDPR.
If you watch the embedded YouTube video on our homepage, YouTube may set cookies after you click play. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode to minimise this.
Data Retention
We do not retain audio recordings. Transcribed text is not stored on our servers. Anonymous aggregate usage metrics are retained for up to 12 months to help us improve the service.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
