Privacy Policy

This Privacy Notice for U.S. residents describes how vocatext.com ("VocaText", "we", "us") collects, uses and discloses personal information, and the rights of California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA"). Terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used here.

The site vocatext.com is operated by Jean Christophe, entrepreneur, 29 Rue Romain Rolland, 44100 Nantes, France. Contact: contact [at] vocatext [dot] com.

2. Personal information we collect

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information:

• Identifiers (name, email address, phone number, IP address) - provided by you or collected automatically;
• Commercial information - records of VocaText Pro subscriptions purchased or considered;
• Internet or other electronic network activity - pages visited, referring pages, interactions with the site;
• Geolocation data - approximate, country-level location inferred from your IP address;
• Audio and sensory data - the audio files you upload for transcription, which are processed in real time and deleted immediately afterwards; they are never stored.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from consumers under 16 years of age.

3. Sources of personal information

We collect personal information directly from you (uploads, contact form, checkout), automatically from your device and browser (cookies and similar technologies), and from our service providers (analytics, advertising and payment).

• To comply with legal obligations.

5. Disclosure, "sale" and "sharing" of personal information

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, our use of third-party analytics and advertising technologies (including Google) may be considered a "sale" or a "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA. The categories that may be sold or shared for these purposes are identifiers, internet activity and geolocation data, disclosed to advertising and analytics providers.

We disclose personal information to service providers for business purposes: hosting (Cloudflare, Inc.), analytics and advertising (Google), and payment processing (Stripe).
