Privacy Policy
The app collects nothing. This page is about the website.
The VoiceQuill macOS app runs entirely on your Mac. There's no account, no sign-in, and nothing you type or generate is ever uploaded. The app touches the network only to activate your licence and, on Pro, to download Apple's translation language pack once — neither sends your script anywhere (Translate uses Apple's on-device Translation framework). This policy covers only what happens on our website, voicequill.studio, where a small amount of data is collected if you download the app, opt in to updates, email us, or consent to advertising cookies. Each of those is explained below.
01Who's responsible
The data controller for this website is Nexxen-Consult, trading as VoiceQuill, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
For anything in this policy — including any request about your data — contact hello@voicequill.studio.
02What we collect, and why
Downloading the app & your trial key
To download VoiceQuill you enter your email address so we can send you a trial key that unlocks the app. We process that email through Resend (our email provider) to deliver your key and the download link. The key is tied to you — that's part of what keeps the app fully local, with no accounts and no sign-in. Legal basis: taking steps at your request to provide the app.
Product updates (optional)
When you request a trial you can tick a box to get occasional product updates. If you do, we add your email to our list at Resend and email sparingly — never on a schedule. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by unsubscribing or emailing us.
Buying Plus or Pro
Purchases are handled by LemonSqueezy, our merchant of record, which processes your payment and issues your licence key. We receive your email and order details so we can support you; we never see your full card number. Legal basis: performance of your purchase.
Emails you send us
If you write to hello@ or feedback@voicequill.studio, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. Our email runs through Cloudflare Email Routing and is delivered to a Google (Gmail) inbox. We use this only to read and reply. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to you.
Advertising & measurement cookies
With your consent, we load the Meta Pixel and the TikTok Pixel. These let us measure how our Instagram and TikTok campaigns perform and reach people who've visited the site. They collect your IP address, device and browser information, the pages and actions you take on the site, and cookie identifiers. Nothing loads until you click "Accept" on the cookie banner — if you decline, no pixel runs. Legal basis: your consent.
Hosting & security logs
The site is hosted on Vercel and served through Cloudflare. Like all web hosts, they automatically process technical data such as your IP address and request details to deliver the site and keep it secure. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website.
Your cookie choice
When you accept or decline, we store that single preference in your browser (local storage, under the key
vq_consent) so we don't ask again on every visit. This is essential to honour your choice and
isn't used for tracking.
05International transfers
Several of the providers above are based outside the EU, mainly in the United States. Where your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we rely on the safeguards those providers put in place — typically the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or an adequacy decision where one applies. If you'd like more detail on a specific transfer, email us.
06How long we keep it
- Sign-up & download-key email: until launch and a reasonable follow-up period, or until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it — whichever comes first.
- Emails you send: as long as needed to handle your message and for our records, then deleted.
- Pixel data: retained by Meta and TikTok under their own retention policies; see their privacy documentation.
- Hosting/security logs: kept short-term by Vercel and Cloudflare for operations and security.
07Your rights
Under the GDPR, you can ask us to:
- Access the data we hold about you.
- Correct anything inaccurate.
- Delete your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Restrict or object to how we use it.
- Port your data to another service.
- Withdraw consent at any time — for cookies via "Cookie settings," for email via unsubscribe.
To exercise any of these, email hello@voicequill.studio. You also have the right to complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
08Children
This website and VoiceQuill aren't directed at children. In the Netherlands, we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has given us data, email us and we'll delete it.
09Changes to this policy
If we change how the website handles data, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above. For significant changes, we'll flag it on the site.
This policy is provided in good faith as a plain-language description of how the VoiceQuill website handles data. It isn't legal advice. If your circumstances change — a registered company, new tools, EU ad spend at scale — have it reviewed by a qualified professional.
