1. Information We Collect

Topics and specifications you type to generate lectures.
Voice cloning samples — you record a voice sample (15–40 seconds) once per voice. These are stored only on your device (private app storage). Up to 5 voices can be saved.
Subscription & billing data via RevenueCat (Apple/Google handle payments).
Minimal technical data (IP address, device type) for security only.

No analytics, no crash reporting, no sign-in.

Voice Cloning Feature

When you enable voice cloning, your recorded voice sample is sent to our TTS provider (Fish Audio) during lecture generation. The sample is not stored on our servers after synthesis. The finished voice-cloned lecture is saved only on your device and is not added to the public archive.

2. Public Lectures (Non-Voice-Cloned Only)

Standard (non-voice-cloned) lectures are automatically saved to our public cloud archive. Anyone using the app can browse, search, and listen to them. These lectures cannot be deleted.

3. How We Use & Share Information

We send your topic + specifications (and voice sample when cloning is enabled) to xAI (primary) and fallback providers (Gemini, Groq, Fish Audio) to generate lectures and audio. We do not sell your data.

4. Data Retention

• Voice samples remain on your device until you delete the voice or clear app data.
• Non-clone lectures are stored permanently in the public archive.
• Cloned lectures are stored only locally on your device.

5. Your Rights

You can delete your own voice samples from the device (My Voices screen). You can report inappropriate content. You can download the text of any lecture to your device.

6. Children

The App is for users 13 years and older.

4. Public Archive

Only non-voice-cloned lectures are published to the public archive. These cannot be deleted once published.

5. Content Rules

You are responsible for your inputs and voice samples. We use filters, but we are not responsible for AI-generated content.
