Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 15, 2026

Gain Publications ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how StoryVox handles your information.

1. Our Core Privacy Principle

StoryVox is a fully offline desktop application. It does not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal data, text content, or generated audio on any external server. Everything you do in StoryVox stays on your computer.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

StoryVox does not collect:

• Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Text content you input or import into the application
• Audio files you generate
• Usage data, analytics, or telemetry
• Device identifiers or hardware information
• Location data
• Browsing or search history

3. No Internet Connection Required

StoryVox operates entirely on your local computer. The text-to-speech engine (Kokoro), the audio processing (FFmpeg), and all other functionality run locally without any internet connection. No data is sent to or received from any external servers during normal operation of the Software.

4. Data Stored on Your Computer

StoryVox stores the following data locally on your computer:

• Project files: Your audiobook projects, including text scripts, chapter structure, voice settings, and metadata, stored in your Documents folder
• Generated audio: WAV and MP3 files you create, stored in locations you specify
• Application settings: Your voice preferences, speech rate, and other settings, stored in standard Windows application data folders
• Temporary files: Sentence-level audio fragments used during generation, stored in your system temp folder and cleaned up automatically

All of this data remains on your computer and is fully under your control. You may delete it at any time.

5. Microsoft Store

If you purchase StoryVox through the Microsoft Store, Microsoft may collect information related to your purchase in accordance with their own privacy policy. Gain Publications does not have access to your payment details or Microsoft account information. Please refer to Microsoft's Privacy Statement for details.

6. Website

The StoryVox website (storyvoxpro.com) is a static informational site. It does not use cookies, tracking pixels, analytics services, or any form of user tracking. No personal information is collected through the website.

7. Email Communications

If you contact us at support@gainpublications.com, we will receive your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add support emails to marketing lists, and we do not share your email address with third parties.

8. Children's Privacy

StoryVox is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. Since the Software does not collect any user data, this concern is inherently addressed by the offline nature of the application.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Since StoryVox does not collect data or have user accounts, we have no way to notify users directly of policy changes — we encourage you to review this page periodically.
