What we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Last updated July 19, 2026.
Account information: your name, email address, and password (stored as a hash), or your Google account details if you sign in with Google.
Your content: the manuscripts and chapters you upload, the scripts, character and voice choices you create, the corrections you make in the Studio (like fixing a speaker, a tone, or where a sound effect belongs), and the audio files we generate for you.
Payment information: purchases are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details — we keep only transaction records (what was bought, when, and for how much).
Usage data: product analytics events, device and browser information, and server logs (including IP addresses) used to operate and secure the service.
Support messages: bug reports and feedback you send us through the app.
To provide the service: parsing your chapters, generating and stitching audio, storing your projects, and managing your credit balance.
To improve the product: aggregate analytics tell us which features are used and where authors get stuck.
To keep the platform safe: preventing abuse of free credits, fraud, and attacks on the service.
To support you: responding to bug reports, feedback, and support emails.
To make parsing better: when you correct AudioForge's work in the Studio — reassigning a speaker, changing a tone, splitting a segment, placing a sound effect — we keep a record of that correction and use it to evaluate and improve our parsing quality. This stays inside AudioForge: your corrections are never sold, never shared, and never used to train third-party AI models.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your manuscripts for anything beyond producing your audio and the quality improvement described above.
We share the minimum data needed with the providers that power AudioForge: OpenAI (chapter text, for script parsing), ElevenLabs (segment text, for voice generation), Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (hosting and private file storage for your audio and covers), PostHog (product analytics), and Google (only if you use Google sign-in).
Each provider processes this data to deliver its part of the service under its own data-processing terms.
You keep full ownership of your manuscripts and the audio generated from them. See our IP Policy & FAQ for the details on your rights, delisting, and deletion controls.
Your audio files are stored in a private bucket and served through expiring, signed links — they are not publicly listable.
We keep your content for as long as your account is active so you can keep working on your books. You can delete individual books, chapters, and their audio at any time from within the app, and deletion removes the files from our storage.
If you want your entire account and its data removed, contact us and we will take care of it.
All traffic to AudioForge is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access to your content requires authentication, and stored audio is only reachable through signed, expiring URLs.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will announce them in the app before they take effect.
