Privacy Policy
Updated on:
General
We at TTSReader value your privacy, and that’s why we do not store anything you say or type or in fact any other data about you - unless it is solely needed for the purpose of your operation. We don’t share it with 3rd parties, other than what is minimally necessary in order for the service to work. That includes:
- Sending text (without your identity) to world-leading voice providers, such as: Google / Microsoft / OpenAI / ElevenLabs / Your operating system / browser / Other Leading Voice Vendors for the text-to-speech engine.
- Sharing data with PayPal or Stripe or other payment-processor provider for payment processing.
- Sharing data with Google or other cloud service providers for cloud-syncing your text, if you choose to do so.
- Sharing data with accountants or lawyers or other service providers for the purpose of running our business, and only if absolutely necessary.
- Sharing data with our trusted developers for the purpose of development, and only if absolutely necessary.
- Sharing data with law enforcement or other authorities if we are required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with the law, protect our rights or property, or protect the safety of our users or the public.
More generic notes regarding our site, cookies, analytics, ads, etc.
- We may use Google Analytics on our site - which is a generic tool to track usage statistics.
- We use cookies - which means we save data on your browser to send to our servers when needed. This is used for instance to sign you in, and then keep you signed in.
- We use your browser's local storage to store your texts, so you can access it later from the point you left off.
- Non premium serves ads by Google. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://youradchoices.com/
General - Your Text Data
- We very much respect your privacy.
- If you sign in, and choose to cloud-sync your text, then it is being stored on Google’s Firebase database service, following their best practices to secure your data privately. No other users can access your data.
Our Developers & Team Regulations
Only our most trusted developers have access to our databases.
Even the most trusted developers are instructed by our regulations:
- Not to view user’s texts without a specific need for development purpose or without user’s consent.
- To further protect your privacy from mistakes, all your texts are stored in such a matter that they do not contain your name or email, but only your user id.
- Users' private data will never be sold to 3rd parties, and will not be used for anything other than user support or development. Having said that, in case TTSReader or its owner company will be sold to a buying company, we will transfer users' data with the product in order to keep it working through the ownership transition. In such a case we will notify registered users via email and give you time to remove your account before the transition if you so choose.
Our Servers
We use Google / Azure / AWS servers both for the logic and for saving the data. We do our best to follow their guidelines for securing your private data, but, we cannot insure against data leaks or theft by either a technical mistake by us or by malicious attacks on our servers in form of hacking or unintended use or other.
No Warranty
We do our best to follow best security practices to protect our servers and your data, but, we cannot insure against data leaks or theft by either a technical mistake by us or by malicious attacks on our servers in form of hacking or unintended use or other. To minimize the risk in all cases - we do not gather or keep any information that we do not explicitly need for the app to operate or for collecting general analytics.
