What We Collect
When you use VoiceMemoir, we collect:
- Account information: Your name, email address, and password (hashed, never stored in plain text).
- Voice recordings: Audio you record through the app. These are transcribed and then the audio file is deleted from our servers. We do not retain raw audio.
- Story content: Transcripts, AI-generated drafts, and approved memoir passages you create.
- Voice profile data: The stylistic rules, preferences, and patterns the AI learns from your feedback. This is text data, not voice biometrics.
- Usage data: Basic analytics like pages visited, features used, and session duration.
How We Use Your Data
- To provide the service: Transcribing your voice, generating drafts, training your voice profile, and assembling your memoir.
- To improve the product: Aggregate, anonymized usage patterns help us make VoiceMemoir better. We never use your personal stories for training AI models.
- To communicate with you: Account notifications, story session reminders, and product updates. No spam.
Your Stories Are Yours
You own your content. Your stories, transcripts, drafts, and finished memoirs belong to you. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your content. You can export or delete your data at any time.
