mockvox Privacy Policy
Last updated Jan 8, 2025
“We value your privacy.”
Most privacy policies begin that way. But they then proceed — for 5,000 convoluted words or so — to explain how they’re going to track you, own your data, and generally be creepy.
We at here & co. (the company behind mockvox), do things differently. We don’t collect any personal information about you or the content you put in mockvox - it’s all stored securely on a private iCloud container that only your Apple ID can access.
No Tracking
We don’t track how you individually use the app. Honestly, we don’t want to know anything about you unless you tell us yourself. We get some anonymous aggregated data from Apple around installs, crashes, etc. - but that’s it.
AI Features
The content you put in mockvox will be sent to OpenAI to to generate audio. OpenAI keeps this data for up to 30 days, but it’s not used to train their models. And just to be clear, we never see or access this data.
To send data to OpenAI, we use a service called AIProxy. mockvox itself stores none of your data on any servers.When AIProxy processes your requests, it stores only essential information for network monitoring:
- Originating IP address of the network request
- HTTP status code of the network response
- HTTP response body if and only if the status code is greater than or equal to 400
- Metadata about the network request (number of input tokens, length of audio uploaded, size of audio file, etc).
We access this info on our AIProxy dashboard to prevent abuse of OpenAI APIs. None of this data links back to your use of the app.
Children’s Privacy
Our app doesn’t specifically target children under the age of 13. However, as we use OpenAI, parents and guardians should be aware of their privacy practices regarding children’s data.
We Don’t Sell Your Data
Just to be extra clear: we don’t have your data, so we have not and will not ever sell it to advertisers or 3rd party companies. That’d be gross.
Website Analytics
We want to process as little personal information as possible when you use this marketing website. We use Fathom Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies and complies with the GDPR, ePrivacy (including PECR), COPPA, and CCPA. Your IP address is only briefly processed, and we (running this website) have no way of identifying you. As per the CCPA, your personal information is de-identified. You can read more about this on Fathom Analytics’ website.
We use analytics to understand our website traffic in the most privacy-friendly way possible so that we can continually improve our website and business. The lawful basis as per the GDPR is “Article 6(1)(f); where our legitimate interests are to improve our website and business continually.” Once again, no personal data is stored over time.
We also run paid ads from time to time to let more people know about mockvox. When we’re running campaigns, we might use a cookie or two to track the success of these campaigns. Just hit the “Reject All” button on the cookie consent banner if you’re not into that.
Once again, no analytics or cookie data is linked to the app itself.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Should there be any changes in the tools we use or our privacy practices, we’ll update this policy. But, since we don’t have your contact info, it’s your responsibility to check back here for updates if you care about that sort of thing.
