Overview

Kokoro Web (kokoroweb.app) provides in-browser text-to-speech. We value your privacy and this policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Information Collection

Audio and Transcription

• Your audio and media are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.
• Transcription occurs on‑device via WebAssembly/WebGPU where available.
• We do not collect, store, or have access to your audio or transcripts unless you explicitly share them.

User Preferences

• Language settings and UI preferences may be stored in your browser’s local storage.
• Model selection and runtime options may be cached locally to improve performance.

Information Use

• Provide in-browser text-to-speech functionality.
• Save your preferences to improve user experience.
• We do not use your information for advertising or sell your data.

Third-Party Services

• We may use CDNs for styles, fonts, and model files, which can receive your IP address.
• If analytics or error reporting is enabled, only non‑sensitive usage data is collected.
• Microphone permissions are requested by your browser and are never transmitted off‑device by Kokoro Web.

Google AdSense and Advertising

If we serve ads through Google or another advertising partner, those partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. They may also receive your IP address, browser information, page URL, and similar identifiers when ads are requested or displayed.

Google may use the data it collects in connection with ad serving to deliver, personalize, measure, and limit ads, and to detect fraud and abuse, subject to Google's own privacy policies and user controls.

Cookies

We primarily use local storage for preferences. We do not use cookies to track behavior. If third‑party embeds are used (e.g., demo frames), they may set their own cookies under their respective policies.

Data Security

• All transcription processing happens in your browser.
• We do not collect or store personal content.
• Website is served over HTTPS.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not specifically directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be communicated by posting the new privacy policy on our website.
