Privacy Policy
Last updated 3 August 2026
The short version: we store your account, your credit balance, and the scripts you generate. We don't sell anything to anyone, we never see your card details, and your audio files live on your device, not our servers. Email help@mail.articledojo.com to get a copy of your data or have it deleted.
Who runs this service
SelfRecode is operated by an independent developer. For any privacy question, data request, or deletion request, contact help@mail.articledojo.com. We respond to requests within 30 days.
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address, and — if you sign in with Google — the name and profile email Google returns. We never receive your Google password.
- What you create. The source URL or text you submit, the mode and lens you chose, any optional name or custom direction you enter, and the generated script. These are stored so your library survives a closed browser or a different device.
- Credit and subscription state. Your balance, the ledger of grants and spends, and your subscription status.
- Usage analytics. Anonymous, aggregated product events (a page view, a generation started, a checkout opened) through Google Analytics. These carry no email, no user ID, and no script content.
- Standard server logs. IP address, browser type, and request times, kept by our hosting providers for security and abuse prevention.
What we don't collect
- Card details. Payment is handled entirely by Stripe on Stripe's own pages. We receive a customer reference and a subscription status — never a card number.
- Your audio files. MP3s are assembled in your browser and saved to your device. We don't upload or store them. If you delete a file from your device, it's gone; we have no copy.
- Anything we'd sell. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information, and we don't run advertising.
Who processes your data
| Service | What it handles |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication, your account, credit ledger, and saved scripts |
| Stripe | Checkout, subscriptions, and billing. Card data never reaches us |
| MindStudio | Runs the AI generation. Your source material and settings are sent here to produce a script |
| Microsoft (Edge neural voices) | Converts your script text to speech |
| Google Analytics | Anonymous product usage measurement |
| Render & the Internet Computer | Hosting for the API and the web app |
Each of these processes data under its own privacy terms. We share only what the service needs to do its job.
Cookies and local storage
We use browser storage for things the app can't work without: keeping you signed in, remembering your last voice and mode, caching your credit balance so the header doesn't flicker, and holding a recovery pointer so a generation interrupted by a locked phone can be picked back up. If you choose a save folder for your MP3s, the reference to that folder is stored locally in your browser and never sent to us. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
How long we keep things
Your account and scripts are kept until you delete them or ask us to close your account. You can delete any individual script from your library at any time, which removes it from our database. Server logs are retained by our hosts on their own short rolling schedules.
Your rights
You can ask us to export your data, correct it, or delete it entirely — including your account. Email help@mail.articledojo.com from the address on your account. If you're in the UK, EU, or California, the rights your local law grants you apply here regardless of where we're based.
Children
SelfRecode isn't intended for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll remove it.
Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Access to your library and credits is scoped to your own authenticated account on every request. No system is perfectly secure, and we won't claim otherwise — but we don't hold card data, and we don't hold your audio.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect or who processes it, we'll update the date at the top and, for material changes, tell account holders by email.
