Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 July 2026

This policy explains what information the Vocalyn iOS application (the “App”) collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It is maintained by Vocalyn and applies only to the App and this website.

1. Who we are

Vocalyn is the developer of the Vocalyn text-to-speech application for iPhone and iPad. For privacy questions or requests, contact privacy@vocalyn.app.

2. Information we collect

  • Text you convert. Text you paste, import or open in the App. Text spoken with on-device voices never leaves your device. Text spoken with cloud voices is sent to our speech provider solely to generate audio and is not retained after synthesis.
  • App and device data. Device model, iOS version, app version, language and crash diagnostics, used to fix bugs and improve stability.
  • Usage data. Aggregate, non-identifying counts such as number of conversions and feature usage.
  • Advertising data. See section 4.
  • Support messages. Your name, email and message when you write to us.

We do not ask for or store account passwords, contacts, photos or precise location.

3. How we use information

  • To provide speech synthesis, playback, imports and offline voice downloads.
  • To diagnose crashes, fix defects and improve performance.
  • To display advertising in the free version of the App.
  • To respond to support and legal requests.

4. Advertising — Yonder advertising network

The free version of Vocalyn shows ads delivered by the Yonder advertising network, which acts as an independent controller of the data it collects through its SDK. Depending on your permission choice, Yonder may process:

  • The Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), only if you allow tracking;
  • A non-resettable-free advertising session identifier, device type, operating system, coarse (country/region level) location derived from IP address, language and time zone;
  • Ad events such as impressions, clicks and completions, for measurement and fraud prevention.

Your control. On first launch iOS shows an App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, no IDFA is shared and Yonder serves only contextual, non-personalised ads. You can change your choice at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Purchasing Vocalyn Premium removes ads and the ad SDK stops requesting ads.

Yonder's own privacy notice governs its processing. Please review it for details on retention and opt-out mechanisms available in your jurisdiction.

5. Service providers we share data with

  • Apple — app distribution, subscriptions and crash reporting.
  • Yonder advertising network — ad delivery and measurement.
  • Our cloud speech provider — synthesis of cloud voices.
  • Our email provider — handling support correspondence.

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Retention

Documents, playback history and downloaded voices are stored on your device and remain until you delete them or remove the App. Crash and diagnostic data is retained for up to 12 months. Support emails are retained for up to 24 months.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to personalised advertising. Send requests to privacy@vocalyn.app; we respond within the period required by applicable law.

8. Children

Vocalyn is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country) and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Security

Data transmitted between the App and our providers is encrypted in transit using TLS. Access to support correspondence is limited to staff who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes and contact

We will update this policy when our practices change and revise the date above. Material changes will be announced in the App. Questions: privacy@vocalyn.app.
