Summary
Your books stay on your device. We collect only what is needed to run your account and subscription. We never sell personal data.
Books and text
Files you import (EPUB, PDF, TXT) and text you paste are stored on your device: in the app’s private storage on Android, or in your browser’s storage on the web. When you choose an online voice, only the sentences being spoken are sent to the voice service to create audio. Audio may be cached on our server, without any link to your identity, so the same text does not need to be generated twice.
Account data
If you create an account we store your email address, sign-in provider, subscription status, listening-time counters and reading positions so they can be shared between your devices.
Third-party services
- Online voices: text being spoken is processed by the speech service that generates the audio.
- Offline web voices: the voice model is downloaded from Hugging Face (a model hosting service) and then runs in your browser.
- Optional ElevenLabs / Inworld voices use your own API key, which is stored encrypted on your phone and sent only to that provider.
- Payments are handled by Google Play or our payment provider; we never see your full card number.
Security
All connections use HTTPS. API keys in the Android app are encrypted with the Android Keystore. App data is excluded from cloud backups.
Your choices
You can delete any book in the app or reader, clear saved audio, and request deletion of your account by emailing support@talevoxa.com.
Children
Talevoxa is not directed to children under 13.
