Introduction
Welcome to Speakify AI! We are committed to protecting your privacy while delivering advanced speech-to-text capabilities through our website and Chrome extension. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and manage your data to ensure a seamless and secure experience.
Information Collection and Use
Speakify AI operates with minimal data collection to enhance your user experience:
- User Preferences: Preferences (e.g., enabling/disabling the extension on specific websites) are stored locally on your device. These are used solely to customize the extension’s behavior according to your needs.
- Audio Data: Speakify AI processes audio data only when you record your voice. The audio file is temporarily sent to our servers for transcription and discarded immediately after processing.
Data Storage and Protection
Zero Data Retention (ZDR): Speakify AI follows a strict ZDR policy. Transcribed data is processed in real-time and never stored on our servers. This ensures maximum privacy and security.
Data Sharing: Speakify AI does not share any user data with third parties under any circumstances.
Use of Chrome Extension Permissions
Speakify AI requires certain Chrome permissions to ensure smooth functionality:
- Local Storage: Stores user preferences to tailor the extension’s behavior and remember your settings.
- Chrome Identity API: Simplifies login by enabling user identification via Google accounts.
- Tabs and Host Permissions: Allows the extension to interact appropriately with web content when converting speech to text.
- Scripting Permissions: Injects the extension into active tabs to ensure seamless integration across websites.
- Offscreen Permissions: Captures audio without repeatedly requesting microphone access, enhancing usability.
User Control and Consent
You have full control over the extension settings and can adjust your preferences at any time. By using Speakify AI, you consent to the practices outlined in this policy.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services or practices. If significant updates are made, we will notify you to ensure you remain informed about how your data is handled.
