The short version
Pasted text and local files are processed in the browser. For a URL, only the URL is sent to the extraction service; the returned text is not stored.
What we collect
Plausible Analytics records anonymous page views, browser type, country, and which buttons you press (start, pause, change speed). No cookies. No fingerprints. No personal data. See plausible.io/privacy for their full policy.
What about my text?
Pasted text and local files are processed in the browser. Web article URLs use a reader-mode extraction service; extracted text is not stored.
Settings storage
Your voice, speed, and display preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage. They never leave your device. Clear your site data to reset.
