Privacy Policy
Last updated 9 August 2026. The short version: your voice recordings never leave your device, and this site has no way to receive them.
Voice recordings
Voice Rater does not collect, transmit, store or retain any audio. When you press record, your browser captures microphone input into memory and analyses it locally using the Web Audio API. The audio is discarded when you record again, navigate away, or close the tab.
This is not only a policy commitment but a property of how the site is built: it consists of static files with no backend service capable of receiving audio. No recording is ever transmitted over the network.
Your browser will ask permission before granting microphone access, and you can revoke that permission at any time in your browser settings.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage: how many people visit, which pages they read, and which countries they come from. This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individuals. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser for this purpose.
Analytics records that an analysis was completed, along with the mode used and the resulting score, so that the scoring curve can be evaluated across a real population. No audio, no transcript and no identifying information is included in that event.
You can opt out of analytics on this site by visiting any page with ?noga=1 appended to the address. This sets a flag in your browser local storage that permanently disables analytics for that browser. Visit any page with ?noga=0 to re-enable it. Browser-level tracking protection and ad blockers also block this collection.
Local storage
The site stores one optional value in your browser local storage: the analytics opt-out flag described above. It is set only if you explicitly request it, never leaves your device, and can be cleared through your browser normal data-clearing controls.
Advertising
This site is supported by advertising and may display ads served by Google AdSense and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent choice before any personalised advertising cookies are set.
Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. As with any web host, Cloudflare infrastructure processes standard request data such as IP address, user agent, requested URL and timestamp, for the purposes of delivering the site and protecting it from abuse. This is handled by Cloudflare under its own privacy terms and is not accessible as a personal dataset by this site operator.
If you write to the address on the contact page, your email address and message are used only to reply to you. They are not added to any mailing list, sold, or shared.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. Because no audio or account data is collected from anyone, there is no such data to remove.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, and to object to its processing. Since this site holds no account data and no voice recordings, in practice this concerns only analytics and advertising cookies, which you can clear or block through your browser at any time, and any email correspondence, which you can ask to have deleted by writing to the contact address.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted here with an updated date at the top. Material changes to how data is handled will be described rather than quietly substituted.
