Privacy Policy

SonaVoice is a dictation tool — it hears what you say. This policy explains, in plain terms, what we collect, what we deliberately do not, and the choices you have.

Last updated: June 14, 2026

The short versionWe transcribe your audio and immediately discard it — we never store recordings or use them to train models. Your dictation history lives on your device, not on our servers. We collect the minimum needed to run your account, we don't show ads, and we never sell your data.

This Privacy Policy describes how Sona Labs, Inc. (“SonaVoice”, “we”, “us”) handles personal data across the SonaVoice desktop app, the website at sonavoice.cc, and the SonaVoice Engine API (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to this policy together with our Terms of Service.

Your voice and transcripts

This is the part that matters most for a dictation tool, so we put it first. When you dictate, your audio is streamed to a speech-to-text engine, converted to text, and then discarded. We do not keep recordings, we do not build voice profiles, and we do not use your audio or text to train models.

The resulting transcript — the text itself — is not stored on our servers. Your dictation history is kept locally on your device and you can clear it at any time from the desktop app. For more detail, see Why we don't store your audio and the Privacy section of the user guide.

Features that read the context of your active app (for better accuracy) are off by default. When you turn one on, only a short, bounded snippet is sent for that session — never your whole screen, and nothing we retain.

Information we collect

How we use information

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Service providers

We share data only with the providers we need to run the Service, and only what each needs to do its job:

Each of these providers processes data on our behalf under their own terms. A current list of our subprocessors is available on request at support@sonavoice.cc.

Cookies and local storage

We don't use advertising or analytics cookies. The website stores your session token and email in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in — these are functional, not tracking. Signing in with Google sets one short-lived security cookie to protect the login flow. That's all.

Data retention

Your rights

You can access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and withdraw consent at any time. Email support@sonavoice.cc and a human will help.

EEA / UK users (GDPR). Our legal bases for processing are: performing our contract with you (running your account), our legitimate interests (security and preventing abuse), your consent (optional features like app-context reading), and legal obligations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California users (CCPA/CPRA).We do not sell or “share” your personal information as those terms are defined by California law. You have the right to know what we collect, to request deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Security

We protect your data with HTTPS in transit, irreversible hashing of sign-in codes, session tokens, and license keys, and by keeping card data entirely with Stripe. On your device, your license and session are stored in your operating system's encrypted secure store. No system is perfectly secure, but our design goal is to keep as little as possible — there's nothing interesting to take when there's nothing kept.

Children

SonaVoice is not directed to children and is not intended for anyone under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

International data transfers

We and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll change the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, give notice through the Service.
