This Privacy Policy explains how Speak to Spell ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use speaktospell.com (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Speak to Spell is designed to be a frictionless, no-sign-up tool. We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use the Service.

Speech data: When you use the microphone feature, your speech is processed locally in your browser using the Web Speech API. We do not store, record, or transmit your voice recordings to our servers. Note that the Web Speech API may send audio data to your browser provider (e.g., Google) for processing — please refer to your browser's privacy policy for details.

Usage data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the Service, including pages viewed, time on site, and general location (country/region level). This data does not identify you personally.

2. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Preference storage: We store your theme preference (light/dark mode) in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics sets cookies to help us understand site usage.
• Advertising cookies: Google AdSense may set cookies to serve personalised or contextual advertisements.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the UK GDPR, and the EU GDPR. These include rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
