This Privacy Policy explains what data Idiolect (“we”, “us”) collects, how we use it, and your choices. We designed Idiolect to be privacy‑first: your writing is used to serve you, not to build a public profile of you.
1. What we collect
- Writing you provide — the samples you paste to build your Voice Profile, and the briefs/text you submit to generate or score. Where possible this stays in your browser; when sent to our servers it is used only to provide the Service.
- Your Voice Profile — the structured, abstract description of how you write (tone, rhythm, recurring positions), derived from your samples.
- Email — if you subscribe, join a waitlist, or contact us.
- Usage & technical data — basic, privacy‑preserving analytics and rate‑limit signals (e.g., approximate request counts), to keep the Service running.
2. How we use it
- To build your Voice Profile and generate text in your voice.
- To compute the Voice Match metric.
- To provide, secure, and improve the Service, and to prevent abuse.
- To process subscriptions and send service/transactional emails (e.g., your license key).
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your private writing to train public models.
3. Who we share it with
We use trusted third‑party processors strictly to operate the Service:
- AI model providers (e.g., OpenAI) — to generate and analyze text.
- Model hosting (e.g., Modal) — to run the voice‑fidelity scorer.
- Database & hosting (e.g., Supabase, Vercel) — to run the app and store data.
- Payments (e.g., Dodo Payments, acting as merchant of record) — to process subscriptions. We do not receive or store your full card details.
- Email (e.g., Resend) — to send transactional email.
4. International data transfers
To provide the Service, your writing samples and account data are processed by sub‑processors located in the United States: OpenAI (text generation), Modal (the voice‑fidelity scorer), Vercel (hosting), and Supabase (database/auth). The legal basis for these transfers is the performance of our contract with you and our legitimate interest in providing the Service.
5. Data retention & your rights
Raw writing samples and voice profiles are retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after, and are purged on account deletion or on request. You can request access to, an export of (data portability), or deletion of your data at any time by emailing hello@idiolect.lol. We maintain reasonable technical safeguards to protect your information, though no system is perfectly secure.
6. Cookies & analytics
We use minimal, privacy‑preserving analytics to understand aggregate usage. We avoid placing personal or sensitive data in URLs.
7. Children
The Service is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
8. Changes & contact
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date reflects changes. Questions or requests: hello@idiolect.lol.
