Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 4, 2026

Overview

Narratorr ("we", "our", or "the app") is an iOS application that converts text from EPUBs, PDFs, web articles, and other documents into audio using text-to-speech technology. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

The short version

We collect minimal data, process your text for speech synthesis on our own servers, and never sell your information. Your documents stay on your device. We do not store or save the text you send for text-to-speech conversion.

Information we collect

  • Text for Text-to-Speech:

    When you use the listen feature, text is sent to our servers for audio synthesis. This text is processed in real-time and immediately discarded after the audio is generated. We do not store, log, or retain any text content you send for TTS processing.

  • Device Identifier:

    We generate a random, anonymous identifier for your device to track your free usage quota (1 hour). This identifier cannot be used to personally identify you and is not linked to any other information.

  • Subscription Information:

    If you subscribe, Apple processes all payment information through the App Store. We only receive a receipt verification to confirm your subscription status. We never see your payment details.

  • Usage Data:

    We track aggregated, anonymous usage statistics such as total listening time to manage free tier quotas. This data is not linked to your identity.

Information we do NOT collect

  • • Your name, email address, or contact information
  • • Your precise or approximate location
  • • Your contacts, photos, or other personal files
  • • Your browsing history outside the app
  • • Any advertising or tracking identifiers
  • • The content of your documents (stored locally only)

Your documents and files

EPUBs, PDFs, TXT files, and web articles you import are stored locally on your device only. We never upload, access, or store your documents on our servers. The only data transmitted is the specific text you choose to convert to speech, which is immediately discarded after processing.

Text-to-Speech processing

We use Kokoro TTS, an open-source text-to-speech model hosted on our own GPU infrastructure. Your text is:

  • • Transmitted securely to our servers
  • • Processed in real-time to generate audio
  • • Immediately discarded after audio delivery
  • • Never stored, logged, or used for any other purpose

We do not use any third-party TTS services. All processing happens on infrastructure we own and control.

Third-party services

  • Apple App Store & StoreKit:

    Subscription payments are processed entirely by Apple. We use StoreKit to verify subscription status. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

Data retention

We retain your anonymous device identifier and usage quota information for as long as you use the app. If you delete the app, this data may persist on our servers but cannot be linked to you or your device. Text sent for TTS is never retained.

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission and secure server infrastructure.

Children's privacy

Narratorr is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. Since we collect minimal anonymous data, there is typically no personal information to access or delete. If you have questions about your data, please contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy in the app or on our website with an updated revision date.
