Privacy Policy
Last updated
AudioColor is a Mac app that generates speech on your own computer. This policy describes what stays on your machine, what leaves it, and when.
The short version
There is no account, no analytics and no tracking. Your scripts and the audio generated from them stay on your Mac. Three things reach the network, and only for a specific reason: downloading a voice model the first time you use it, verifying your purchase with Apple, and — if you switch it on yourself — sending document text to the AI provider you configured for automatic casting.
What stays on your device
Projects, scripts, imported documents, generated audio, voice library entries, cloning samples, task history and app settings are all stored in a local database and local files on your Mac. Speech synthesis runs locally: the text you enter and the audio it produces are not uploaded in order to be synthesized.
Voice model downloads
The first time a voice model is needed, the app downloads its files from Hugging Face or ModelScope, whichever source you have selected. These requests carry the technical information any file download does, such as your IP address, and are handled by those providers under their own policies. No script text or generated audio is sent with them.
Optional automatic casting
Automatic casting is off unless you enable it and supply your own API key. When enabled, the relevant text from the document you are casting is sent to the provider you chose — Anthropic, OpenAI or DeepSeek — so it can propose characters and voices. That text is then subject to that provider's privacy policy and data retention terms, not ours. If you never enable this feature, no document text ever leaves your Mac.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the Lifetime purchase are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. The app receives your entitlement status from StoreKit in order to unlock generation, and stores that status locally.
Voice cloning and consent
Cloning samples you record or import are processed on your Mac and stored locally. You are responsible for having the right to use any voice you clone: only clone your own voice, or one you have explicit permission from its owner to use.
Children
AudioColor is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects how your information is handled, the updated version will be posted here with a new date at the top, and significant changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
