Effective August 12, 2026
What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy applies to the Overvoice website, macOS application, accounts, purchases, hosted translation service, and referral program. It does not govern third-party apps you use alongside Overvoice, such as Zoom, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or YouTube.
Audio and translation content
When you start translation, Overvoice processes the microphone or computer audio you select and sends the necessary audio to OpenAI’s API to produce live translated speech and text. Overvoice does not store raw call audio on its servers.
OpenAI processes API inputs and outputs under its own data controls and privacy terms. OpenAI states that API data is not used to train its models by default unless the API customer opts in, and that abuse-monitoring logs may be retained for a limited period. You should avoid translating information that you do not have permission to share.
Transcripts, notes, and conversation history
Original and translated transcripts, language details, summaries, notes, and conversation history are stored locally on your Mac. They are not synced to your Overvoice account. If you use AI summaries, the relevant transcript content is sent to OpenAI’s API with storage disabled for that request. Local history remains on your Mac until you remove it in the app or delete the app’s local data.
Account and service data
When you create an account or use hosted translation, Overvoice stores the information needed to operate the service: your email address and profile details, authentication records, licenses, translation-minute balance and ledger entries, purchase references, and metered session information.
Session records may include timestamps, translation direction, source and target languages, duration, reconnects, latency or quality signals, and feedback. These operational records do not contain raw audio or transcript text.
Payments
Stripe processes payments and may collect your payment method, billing information, and transaction details. Overvoice receives purchase status, product, customer, and transaction references needed to grant credits or licenses, maintain purchase history, prevent fraud, and handle refunds or disputes. Overvoice does not store full card numbers.
Referral program
If you use a referral code, Overvoice stores the code, attribution, reward status, credit grants, and reward-funded usage required to operate the program and prevent duplicate rewards. The Mac provides a random installation identifier; the server stores only a keyed, one-way hash for distinct-device checks. It is not a hardware identifier and is not used for advertising.
Bring-your-own-key mode
If you choose bring-your-own-key mode, your OpenAI API key is stored in macOS Keychain on your device. It is not sent to or stored in your Overvoice web account. Requests go directly to OpenAI, and OpenAI bills that usage to your account.
Website and technical data
Our hosting and security providers may process standard request information such as IP address, browser or device type, requested pages, timestamps, and error or security signals. Overvoice does not sell personal information or use conversation content for advertising.
How we use information
We use information to provide and secure Overvoice, authenticate accounts, meter translation usage, process purchases, deliver licenses and referral rewards, troubleshoot failures, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, comply with legal obligations, and improve reliability and performance.
Service providers and disclosure
Overvoice relies on service providers including OpenAI for translation and AI summaries, Supabase for account and application data, Stripe for payments, and Vercel for website and server hosting. These providers process data under their own terms and privacy commitments. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Retention
Local conversation history remains on your Mac until you delete it. Account, license, credit, payment, referral, and metering records are retained while needed to provide the service, maintain accurate balances and transaction records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it where reasonably possible.
Your choices and rights
You can delete local history in the Mac app, choose hosted translation or bring-your-own-key mode, and request access to, correction of, or deletion of your Overvoice account information. Some transaction, security, and usage-ledger records may need to be retained or anonymized instead of deleted. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing and to lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.
Security and international processing
We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encrypted connections, access controls, short-lived translation credentials, and row-level access rules for account data. No system is completely secure. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate.
Children
Overvoice is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as Overvoice changes. We will revise the effective date above and provide additional notice when required. For privacy questions or requests, email hello@overvoice.me.
