Privacy and Architecture

Your voice
does not pass through us.

Voiced uses a client-direct architecture: your Mac communicates directly with ASR and Polish providers. Our servers only verify subscriptions. We do not receive audio, store transcripts, or use your data to train models.

Data flow

Your device talks directly to providers.

Here is the path for a full "hotkey → text at cursor" flow. The Voiced server only checks subscription status and is not in the audio or text path.

Subscription status only

Put simply: in the normal data path, even we cannot see what you said.

Three guarantees

Specific by design,
with no hidden path.

01

No China cloud

Voiced selects ASR and Polish providers outside mainland-China cloud infrastructure, with data-processing terms and no-training product policies.

02

We do not proxy

The Voiced server only issues tokens to confirm an active subscription. Audio and text travel directly from your Mac to the provider and back.

03

Local storage

History, dictionaries, settings, and audio stay on your Mac. Touch ID encryption and iCloud sync are choices you control.

What we keep

Only what is needed
to run the subscription.

A subscription service needs a small amount of account data, but only enough for login, billing status, and service operation.

In writing,

Last updated: 20 May 2026

01Data controller

Voiced is operated by ASWAY LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16800650, which is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to ASWAY LTD.

02Our basic position

Voiced uses a client-direct architecture: your device communicates directly with speech-recognition (ASR) and language-model providers. Our servers only verify subscriptions. On the normal data path we do not receive audio, store transcripts, or use your content to train models.

03Data we collect

To provide the subscription service, we keep a small amount of account and operational data:
  • Email — for sign-in and account identification.
  • Subscription status — monthly/annual plan and renewal date.
  • Usage counts — monthly transcription count and total seconds (no content), kept in anonymous form.
  • Crash logs — to help us fix issues; can be turned off in settings.

04Data we do not collect

We do not collect or upload your transcript content, raw audio, dictionary contents, or metadata about which app you paste into. That data stays on your device.

05How we use your data

We use the data above only to: create and verify your account, maintain and bill your subscription, provide technical support, fix bugs and improve stability, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

06Legal bases for processing

Under the UK GDPR, our bases for processing include: performance of our contract with you (providing the subscription), our legitimate interests in maintaining and improving the service, and legal obligations where required. Optional items such as crash logs rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

07Third-party providers

We use third-party speech-recognition and language-model providers to process your voice and text, with those connections initiated directly by your device. All providers run on non-China cloud infrastructure, sign data-processing agreements (DPAs), and are chosen for not training on user content and for short or no retention. Billing is handled by a payment provider.

08International transfers

Some providers may be located outside the UK or the European Economic Area. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

09Data retention

Account and subscription data is kept for the life of your account and deleted within a reasonable period after closure, or the minimum period required by law. Voice and text on the provider side are retained briefly or released immediately per their policies.

10Security and local storage

History, dictionaries, settings, and audio are stored locally on your device, with optional Touch ID encryption; whether to sync via iCloud is your choice. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to the account data we hold.

11Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to certain processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent previously given. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

12Cookies

This website uses only the essential cookies needed for basic operation and the checkout flow. We do not use them for cross-site advertising tracking.

13Children

Voiced is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

14Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page and give reasonable notice of material changes.
