Privacy Policy

TalkText (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a voice-to-text service that transcribes your audio and rewrites it into structured text. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. By using TalkText you agree to the practices described here.

Account data. When you sign up we collect your email address and a hashed password. If you use Google or another provider, we receive the identifier and email from that provider.

Audio & transcripts. The voice recordings you submit, the raw transcripts produced by our speech engine, and any rewritten text you generate are stored so you can revisit your history.

Payment data. Subscriptions are processed by our payment partner PayPal. We never receive or store your full card number; PayPal shares only the plan, status, and billing country needed to grant access.

Usage & technical data. We log your plan, minutes used, IP address, device type, and basic error reports to operate and improve the service.

• To transcribe audio and generate your requested text styles.
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• To enforce plan limits and process billing through PayPal.
• To debug, analyze, and improve TalkText.

We share the minimum data needed with vetted processors:

• Speech & AI: Alibaba DashScope / SiliconFlow (speech-to-text) and DeepSeek (text rewriting).
• Storage: Supabase stores your account, audio, and transcripts.
• Payments: PayPal handles checkout, tax, and subscription lifecycle.
• Auth: NextAuth manages sign-in sessions.

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your language preference. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Audio is deleted shortly after transcription completes. Transcripts and generated text are kept for the life of your account so your history remains available; you can delete individual items or your whole account at any time from the Account page.

TalkText serves users worldwide, so your data may be processed in the United States and other regions where our providers operate. We rely on our providers’ standard contractual safeguards for any cross-border transfer.

Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR in the EU/UK, CCPA in California) you can access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and object to certain processing. To exercise these rights email privacy@talktextai.com.

TalkText is not directed to anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

We encrypt data in transit (TLS) and at rest, isolate credentials in environment secrets, and restrict access to production systems. No method of transmission is 100% secure, but we follow industry practice.

Does TalkText store my voice recordings?

Audio is deleted shortly after transcription completes. Transcripts and rewritten text stay in your account so your history remains available; you can delete individual items or your whole account at any time.

Does TalkText sell my data or use tracking cookies?

No. TalkText uses essential cookies only — to keep you signed in and to remember your language preference. There are no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking.

Which third parties process my data?

Speech-to-text runs on Alibaba DashScope and SiliconFlow, text rewriting on DeepSeek, storage and accounts on Supabase, payments on PayPal, and sign-in sessions on NextAuth. Only the minimum data needed for each step is shared.

How do I exercise my GDPR or CCPA rights?
