Privacy Policy
Murmur is a macOS text-to-speech application that runs entirely on your device. Your privacy is fundamental to how we build and operate.
1. Data We Collect
We collect minimal data, limited to what is necessary to deliver and support the product:
- Purchase information: When you buy Murmur, your name, email address, and payment details are processed by our merchant of record, Dodo Payments. We receive your email and license key to deliver and validate your purchase.
- License validation: When Murmur checks your license, it sends your license key and a minimal device identifier to verify activation. No text, audio, or usage data is transmitted.
- Website analytics: Our website may collect anonymous, aggregated analytics (page views, referrer, country) using privacy-respecting tools. No personal identifiers are stored.
2. Data We Do Not Collect
Murmur processes all text-to-speech locally on your Mac. We never collect:
- Text you type or generate speech from
- Audio files you create
- Voice selections or usage patterns within the app
- Files on your device
- Microphone or camera data
3. How We Use Your Data
- To deliver your license key and validate your purchase
- To provide customer support when you contact us
- To send transactional emails related to your purchase (receipts, license delivery)
- To improve our website and marketing (anonymized analytics only)
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Dodo Payments (merchant of record): Processes payments, handles billing, and manages transaction records. Their privacy policy applies to payment processing.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any other third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Data Storage and Security
Purchase records and license data are stored securely with industry-standard encryption. Since Murmur runs locally, your content (text and audio) never leaves your Mac and is stored only on your device.
6. Data Retention
We retain your email and license information for as long as your license is active, plus any period required by applicable tax and financial regulations. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Restrict or object to processing of your data
- Request data portability
To exercise any of these rights, email us at tarunyadav9761@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's Privacy
Murmur is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of Murmur after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
