Speakaboo ("we", "our", "the extension") is a Chrome extension that reads webpages
aloud using text-to-speech (TTS) technology. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights.
1. Data We Collect
Account data (if you sign in)
Email address and display name, via Google Sign-In or email/password
Stored in Firebase Authentication and Firestore (Google Cloud, USA)
Preferences
Your chosen TTS provider, voice, speed, language settings, and karaoke mode
Stored locally in Chrome storage; synced across your devices via Chrome Sync
API keys you provide are stored locally only and are never synced to Google's servers
Usage data (Premium users only)
Number of characters converted to speech per month, used to enforce service limits
Stored in Firestore, never shared externally
Subscription data (Premium users only)
Subscription status, trial dates, and billing interval
Managed by Stripe (Stripe, Inc., USA). We never see or store your payment card details.
Linked to your account ID, stored in Firestore, used only for improving the product
Never sold or shared with third parties
2. Webpage Text Sent to AI Providers
⚠️ When you use Cartesia, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, or Qwen3 voices,
the text of the paragraph being read is sent to that provider's servers to generate audio.
We do not store this text — it is transmitted and immediately converted to audio.
Account data: retained until you delete your account
Usage counters: reset on the 1st of each month
Analytics events: retained for 12 months
Local preferences: cleared when you uninstall the extension
7. Children's Privacy
Speakaboo is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at
isolatin3@gmail.com.
8. Changes to This Policy
We will update this page and change the "Last updated" date for any material changes.
Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
