Papervoice collects nothing.
Last updated: 15 September 2026
Nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no
advertising identifier, and no telemetry of any kind.
We do not know how many books you have, which voices you use, how long you
listen, or that you have opened the app at all.
The PDFs you import stay on your device. They are read on your phone, by
software running on your phone, and are never uploaded anywhere. Neither is
the text taken from them, nor the audio generated from that text.
This is not a promise about our intentions; it is a property of how the app
is built. Papervoice is open source, and anyone may check:

Once, per voice you choose to download.
Selecting a natural voice downloads its model from a public address named in
the app's source code. That request contains no information about you or
your documents beyond the fact that a file was requested. The app makes no
other network requests, and works fully offline afterwards.
There is no microphone, camera, contacts, or location access.
The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
If this ever changes, it will change here first, and the app's release notes
will say so plainly. Anything less would make the rest of this document
worthless.
