Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use VoiceCast, we collect the following information to operate the Service, prevent abuse, and process payments:

• Device Fingerprint & Cookie ID: Anonymous identifiers used to enforce free-tier usage limits fairly, without requiring an account.
• Usage Data: Number of narrations generated, timestamps, provider and voice used, and character count.
• Content Data: A short preview of text you submit for narration, stored for support and abuse-prevention purposes.
• Account Data: If you sign in, your name and email address (managed by our authentication provider, Clerk).
• Payment & Subscription Data: If you subscribe to Pro, our payment processor (Paddle) shares your subscription status and billing period with us. VoiceCast never sees or stores your card details - Paddle handles all payment information directly.

Your TTS provider API keys (Gemini / ElevenLabs) are used only in your browser to call that provider directly - they are never sent to or stored on our servers.

2. How We Use Information

We use this information to provide the Service, enforce free-tier limits, prevent abuse, process subscriptions, and respond to support requests. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third parties, each governed by their own privacy policy:

• Clerk - authentication and account management
• Paddle - payment processing and billing (acts as merchant of record)
• Google Gemini / ElevenLabs - text-to-speech generation, called directly from your browser using your own API key

4. Data Retention

Usage and activity logs are retained to support fair-use enforcement and troubleshooting. You may request deletion of your account data by contacting us.

5. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at the address below.
