Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Anyaudiobooks is a document reader and text-to-speech app. Core reading and system-voice playback do not require a service account. Your choices determine whether content stays on your device, is synchronized through iCloud, or is sent to a service you configure.

The developer does not operate public speech-generation services, book-sharing nodes, or voice marketplaces for this app. Optional connections are to services you select. Those providers may save content you upload or send to them, and their own privacy and retention policies apply.

2. Documents and local storage

Documents you import, extracted text, reading positions, bookmarks, notes, library organization, preferences, downloaded models, reference recordings, and prepared audiobook audio are stored on your device as needed for the features you use. Image and scanned-page text recognition uses Apple frameworks. System backups may include app data according to your device settings.

You can delete documents and manage downloaded models and generated audio in the app. Deleting a local item does not necessarily remove copies previously exported, shared, synchronized, or backed up.

3. On-device speech and translation

Local speech generation, voice creation, and document translation require compatible hardware and model resources. Preparing these features downloads model files from their hosts, including Hugging Face. Model hosts receive download requests and associated network information, such as an IP address. Once the required resources are available, local model inference processes document text and reference recordings on your device rather than sending them to the model host.

System speech uses Apple voice resources. If you choose Apple speech recognition to transcribe a voice reference, processing may involve Apple services depending on your device, language, and availability. Files selected from a cloud storage or photo provider may be downloaded through that provider.

4. External speech services and shared resources

If you configure an external speech service, the text needed for the requested speech generation is sent to that service. If you choose to upload, publish, or retrieve shared books, voice packages, or other resources through a configured node or marketplace, its operator receives the relevant content, metadata, and network requests. Depending on the feature, this may include document text, audio, voice reference samples, package information, and signing identifiers.

These independent providers may store uploaded content and keep access logs. The developer does not control their processing, retention periods, onward sharing, or deletion. Review the provider's policy before connecting or uploading, and contact that provider about copies it holds. Do not send material to a provider unless you are comfortable with its practices.

HTTPS encrypts the connection in transit. HTTP does not. Use trusted services and networks. Service API keys are kept in the system Keychain where used by the app; endpoint addresses and preferences are stored locally.

5. Optional iCloud synchronization

When you enable iCloud synchronization, supported library data is sent to your Apple iCloud account. Apple processes this data under its terms and privacy policy. Changes can take time to reach other devices. Deleting local data does not necessarily delete older backups or exported copies.

6. Sharing, identity, and public records

Exported book and voice packages contain the material and metadata included in the export. Recipients may retain or redistribute their copies. Local network features can discover or advertise services on your local network.

Optional decentralized identity and voice-licensing features may associate signing identifiers or wallet addresses with shared packages or licensing records. If you choose blockchain settlement, transactions and associated identifiers can become public records. The developer cannot erase records retained by other participants or a public ledger. Only share documents and voice recordings you have the right to use.

7. Permissions and your choices

The app uses system permissions and access controls for the features you choose, such as selected files, speech recognition, and local network discovery. You can manage available permissions in system settings, choose a local processing mode, remove configured services or stored credentials, manage downloaded resources, and decide whether to enable iCloud or share content.

To request deletion of material sent to an independent service, contact its operator. Deleting the app does not delete copies already held by third parties, recipients, cloud backups, or public ledgers.

8. Support and contact

If you contact support, the developer receives the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, and any attachments, and uses it to respond to your request. Avoid sending API keys, recovery phrases, private documents, or reference recordings unless you intend to share them.

For privacy questions or requests about information you sent directly to the developer, email soprano.true_13@icloud.com. Requests concerning an external provider's copies must be directed to that provider.
