Effective Date: July 2, 2026
Last Updated: July 2, 2026

Voicemaxx (the "App") is operated by Starquest Studio LLC ("we," "our," or "us"), a Massachusetts-based company located at:

This Privacy Policy explains what information Voicemaxx collects, how it is used, and who it is shared with. It replaces any prior version of this policy in its entirety.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Voicemaxx iOS app and related services (invite links, our referral backend, and our AI processing gateway). By downloading or using Voicemaxx, you agree to the practices described here.

Voicemaxx is intended for a general audience of teens and adults — see Section 12 for our age requirement.

2. Data Storage Philosophy

Voicemaxx trains your speaking voice through recorded drills, an optional AI-analyzed selfie feature, and a friend-referral program. Some of what you do in the App stays entirely on your device; some of it is necessarily sent to us or to the third-party processors described below so those specific features can work. This policy tells you, plainly, which is which.

2.1 Stays on your device

• Your voice recordings and drill takes (the audio files themselves)
• The AI-deepened preview of your own voice generated during onboarding — this is produced entirely on-device by a local pitch/formant-shifting engine; your audio is never uploaded to create it
• Your pitch, resonance, and clarity scores from voice analysis — measured on-device via local signal processing, not sent anywhere
• Your name, age range, quiz answers, vocal-habit answers, and onboarding "commitment" signature
• Your course and drill progress

All of the above is stored locally in the App's on-device database. We cannot see, access, or recover it, and it is deleted automatically when you delete the App.

2.2 Sent to us or a processor, because the feature requires it

• Anonymous usage and diagnostic events (analytics — Section 4)
• A selfie, only if you choose to use the optional LooksMax feature (Section 6)
• Spoken text you produce during an AI roleplay/avatar practice session, only while you're using that feature (Section 6)
• Your email address, only if you choose to opt in to the squad referral program (Section 7)

3. Analytics & Attribution

We use analytics and attribution SDKs to understand how the App is used, diagnose problems, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing. These tools automatically collect:

• An anonymous, randomly generated install identifier (not your name or email)
• Device type, OS version, IP address, and app version
• App usage events (e.g. which screens you open, when a drill completes) and crash/performance diagnostics
• Recording-quality diagnostics for voice takes (e.g. audio dropout counts, input route) — technical metadata only, never the recorded audio itself
• Install-attribution data (which ad or link led to your install), and, only where you have granted Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission, advertising identifiers used for that attribution

The providers we use for this are:

• PostHog — product analytics. Privacy policy.
• Mixpanel — product analytics. Privacy policy.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook SDK) — ad performance and attribution; app-event logging only activates after you grant ATT permission. Privacy policy.
• AppsFlyer Ltd. — install attribution; when ATT is undetermined, AppsFlyer waits for your response before finalizing IDFA-based attribution, falling back to non-identifying attribution methods if you decline. Privacy policy.

This data is pseudonymous, tied to the anonymous install identifier rather than your name or email, and is used for product improvement and marketing measurement. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to build cross-app advertising profiles beyond the install-attribution purpose above.

4. Onboarding Information

During onboarding you provide your name, an age range, and answers to a short quiz about your voice and goals; you may also draw a signature on a "commitment pledge" screen. All of this — including the signature image — is written to the App's local on-device database only. None of it is transmitted to our servers or to any analytics or AI provider.

5. Voice Analysis & AI-Powered Features

5.1 Voice recording, scoring, and the deepened-voice preview

When you record a speaking sample, Voicemaxx analyzes it entirely on your device using local digital signal processing — no audio is uploaded to measure your pitch, resonance, clarity, or stability. The "deepened voice" preview you hear during onboarding is your own recording, pitch- and formant-shifted by an on-device audio engine; it is not generated or processed by a third-party AI service, and the source audio never leaves your device to produce it.

If you choose to enable live speech-to-text during a drill (so the App can tell when you've finished reading a prompt), transcription runs via Apple's Speech framework. Depending on your device and settings, Apple may process this on-device or transmit audio to Apple's own servers to generate the transcript; that processing is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours, and the resulting transcript is used only to time the end of your take.

5.2 LooksMax (optional selfie analysis)

LooksMax is an optional bonus feature. If you choose to take or upload a selfie, the photo is resized, compressed, and sent to our Cloudflare AI Gateway, which forwards it to Google Gemini (a Google LLC service) for an aesthetic readout across a few visual axes, plus improvement tips. If you don't use this feature, no photo is ever captured or sent.

• Cloudflare, Inc. — proxies the request and holds the upstream API credentials so they don't ship inside the App. Privacy policy.
• Google LLC (Gemini) — analyzes the selfie and returns the rating. Privacy policy.

We do not store your selfie on our servers after the request completes, and the resulting score/thumbnail is saved only in the App's local on-device database.

5.3 AI practice conversations

Certain course lessons let you practice a spoken conversation with an AI roleplay partner. While you're using this feature, your spoken words (converted to text on-device) and recent conversation context are sent through our Cloudflare AI Gateway to Google Gemini so it can generate the next line of the roleplay. The reply is then spoken back to you using Apple's on-device text-to-speech — no third party generates or stores synthetic voice audio. No photo, video, or raw audio recording is sent for this feature, only the transcribed text.

6. Squad Referral Program

Voicemaxx includes an optional post-purchase referral program ("squad"). If you choose to opt in, your email address and an anonymous install identifier are sent to our Cloudflare Worker backend, which issues your invite code, tracks your 24-hour recruiting window, and — if your squad succeeds — uses your email to deliver a reward code. We use your email solely to operate this feature and are not otherwise using it for marketing communications. If you don't opt in to squad, no email address is collected.

7. Notifications

Voicemaxx uses local, on-device notifications only — for example daily practice reminders you opt into during onboarding, and, if you join the squad program, a short series of reminders about your recruiting window. We do not use push notifications, and no notification content is sent to or generated by a remote server.

8. Health, Wellness & Medical Disclaimer

Voicemaxx provides general voice-training, self-improvement, and entertainment content only.

• Voicemaxx is not a medical device.
• Voicemaxx does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or clinical speech-language therapy.
• Voicemaxx is not a substitute for care from a licensed physician, otolaryngologist, or speech-language pathologist.
• The LooksMax feature is entertainment-grade and not a dermatological, cosmetic, or medical assessment.

If you experience voice loss, persistent pain, or another medical concern, please seek professional care.

9. Payments & Subscriptions

All purchases are processed exclusively through Apple In-App Purchases. We do not collect or store your payment card details, and we do not have access to your Apple billing information. Apple's own privacy policy governs payment data. See our Terms of Service for subscription pricing, billing, and cancellation details.

10. Data Selling & Sharing

We do not:

• Sell personal data
• Rent or trade personal data
• Share personal data for third-party advertising beyond the attribution purposes in Section 3

We share data only with the processors named in this policy, each acting on our behalf for the purpose described.

11. Your Rights & Data Deletion

Because most personal content (recordings, quiz answers, signature, course progress) is stored only on your device, deleting the App permanently deletes that content — we have no copy and no ability to restore it. To request deletion or access to the limited data we do hold server-side (analytics identifiers, a squad email address, or LooksMax request logs retained by our processors), email [email protected]. Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA/CPRA (California); we honor verifiable requests consistent with those laws.

12. Age Requirement & Children

Voicemaxx is not directed at children. You must be at least 17 years old to use the App. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 17, and if we learn we have, we will delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used Voicemaxx, contact us at [email protected].

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and, for material changes, notify you within the App.
