Privacy
VoiceForever collects no data. Your voice, your phrases and your gaze calibration stay on this iPad. The app has no account, no advertising and no analytics service, and sends nothing to anyone — not even to its author — except a report you choose to send yourself.
What the app stores on the iPad
Your voice recordings and their transcriptions, the synthesized phrases, your everyday phrases and communication history, and the digital profile of your gaze. All of this lives in the app’s private storage, protected by the iPad’s encryption, and disappears if you uninstall the app.
The camera
Gaze tracking analyzes the front camera image in memory, only while you are using this mode. No image, video, photo of your face or facial geometry is stored or transmitted. A numerical diagnostic trace may be kept on the device, but only after your explicit consent, and it never contains an image: withdrawing consent erases everything immediately.
The microphone
The microphone is only turned on after you act, to record the takes of your voice profile. These recordings never leave the device.
The voice and on-device AI
The voice is produced locally, on the iPad, by a model installed on the device. If your iPad supports Apple Intelligence, phrase suggestions and rewordings come from Apple’s on-device model, which also runs on the iPad. Your text is never sent to a server, neither to be spoken nor to be completed, and the app works fully offline once the models are installed.
Diagnostic reports
If you have agreed, in the iPad’s settings, to share analytics data with app developers, iPadOS hands the app anonymous technical reports through MetricKit: crashes, hangs, memory used. VoiceForever keeps them on the iPad and never sends them on its own. They only leave if you tap “Send a report”: you then see the message and its attachments before sending it. A report never contains your voice or your texts, unless you separately agree to attach them.
The only use of the network
The internet is only used to download the voice and transcription models, always announced and cancelable, and to send a report if you decide to. The download fetches public files from Hugging Face, which then sees your connection’s IP address as with any download. None of your personal data comes with this request.
What you share is yours alone to decide
Profile exports, shared audio and reports go through the iPadOS share sheet or Mail, at your initiative. VoiceForever never shares anything on its own.
Your rights
Because no data is collected, nobody but you has access to what the app holds. You can delete a take, a profile, a model or the whole app at any time; deletion is permanent on this iPad and no copy remains anywhere else. If you have sent a report, write to us and it will be erased.
