Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Introduction

Welcome to VoiceBit. We respect your privacy and are deeply committed to protecting your personal data — especially your voice recordings and multimedia content. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use the VoiceBit app, and describes your rights under applicable data protection laws.

VoiceBit Inc. is the data controller responsible for your personal data. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact us at support@voicebit.app.

Information We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide and improve our services:

  • Identity Data: First name, last name, username, or similar identifier.
  • Contact Data: Email address used to create and manage your account.
  • Technical Data: IP address, device type, operating system, app version, and crash logs used solely for service stability.
  • Profile Data: Username, preferences, and in-app settings.
  • Usage Data: How you interact with features within the app, used only in aggregate to improve the product.
  • Voice & Audio Content: Voice recordings, audio notes, and any audio layers you create or upload. See the dedicated section below for full details.
  • Multimedia Content: Images, videos, and text you attach to your voice notes.

🎙️ Voice Note & Audio Data Protection

Your voice is uniquely personal. VoiceBit treats all voice recordings and audio data with the highest level of care and protection. The following commitments apply specifically to your voice notes and audio content:

  • End-to-End Encryption: All voice recordings are encrypted end-to-end during transmission and at rest using AES-256 encryption. No one — including VoiceBit employees — can listen to your private voice notes without your explicit permission.
  • No Voice Profiling: We do not use your voice recordings to build voice profiles, biometric identifiers, or voice fingerprints. Your audio is never used to identify you by voice characteristics.
  • No Third-Party Audio Access: Your voice recordings are never sold, licensed, or shared with third-party advertisers, data brokers, or AI training services. Audio data is not used to train any machine learning models without your explicit, informed, opt-in consent.
  • Private by Default: All voice notes are set to private by default. You have full control over who can access, listen to, or share your recordings. Sharing is always an explicit action you initiate.
  • Microphone Access: VoiceBit only accesses your device microphone when you actively initiate a recording within the app. We never record audio in the background.
  • Deletion is Permanent: When you delete a voice note, it is permanently and irreversibly removed from our servers within 30 days. Deleted recordings cannot be recovered by VoiceBit or any third party.
  • Secure Cloud Storage: Voice recordings stored in the cloud are held in isolated, access-controlled storage environments. Access logs are maintained and audited regularly.
  • Transcription Opt-In Only: If VoiceBit offers voice-to-text transcription features, these are strictly opt-in. Transcription data is treated with the same protections as the original audio recording.

🔒 Security & Processing

All audio and video data are processed using industry-standard encryption (AES-256) both in transit and at rest. Voice recordings are only used for user-intended synchronization and are never sold to third parties.

🎛️ User Control

Users retain full ownership of their multimedia content. You may delete your voice data at any time through the in-app settings, which will permanently purge the files from our secure servers.

How We Use Your Information

We use your data only for the following lawful purposes:

  • To create and manage your account
  • To deliver, synchronize, and store your voice notes and multimedia content
  • To enable sharing and collaboration features you explicitly activate
  • To notify you of important changes to the app or this policy
  • To improve app performance, stability, and user experience using anonymized, aggregated data
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use your data for targeted advertising. VoiceBit does not sell your personal data or voice content to any third party.

Data Security

We implement industry-leading security measures to protect your data:

  • AES-256 Encryption for all data at rest, including voice recordings and multimedia files.
  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit between your device and our servers.
  • Zero-knowledge architecture for private voice notes — only you hold the decryption keys for private content.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent third-party security firms.
  • Strict access controls — internal access to user data is limited, logged, and audited.
  • Breach notification — in the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your account, we will notify you within 72 hours as required by law.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data or voice content. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Trusted infrastructure partners (e.g., cloud hosting) who process data strictly on our behalf under binding data processing agreements. They have no right to use your data for their own purposes.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, your data protections under this policy will be maintained and you will be notified in advance.

Voice recordings are never shared with third parties under any commercial arrangement.

Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law:

  • Active account data is retained while your account remains open.
  • Voice recordings and multimedia content you delete are permanently removed from our servers within 30 days.
  • Upon account deletion, all personal data and voice content is permanently erased within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
  • Anonymized, aggregated usage statistics may be retained indefinitely as they cannot be linked back to you.

Your Rights & Controls

You have full control over your data. Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, including your voice recordings.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Erasure: Request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data, including voice notes.
  • Portability: Request an export of your voice recordings and data in a machine-readable format.
  • Restriction: Request that we limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
  • Objection: Object to processing of your data for specific purposes.
  • Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent for any processing based on consent at any time, without affecting prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@voicebit.app. We will respond within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

VoiceBit is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data or voice recordings from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us immediately at support@voicebit.app and we will delete it promptly.

Third-Party Links

Our app may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.
