your versenever leaves your device — browser-enforced
the one thing that can travela correction you deliberately send: sounds and positions, never your words

the promise

your verse never leaves this machine. it is analyzed in your browser, on your device, and that is the whole trip. our code sends your verse nowhere, and the page ships a content-security-policy whose connect-src 'self' makes the browser refuse connections to any other host — though no page can control your browser extensions or your device. within everything we build and ship: the verse stays.

what we don't collect

no accounts. no cookies. no analytics. no trackers. no names, no emails. the verse is analyzed on your device and stored only there.

corrections you choose to send

nothing is ever sent unless you tap send. before it goes, you see exactly what goes: the sounds, positions, and scores of the pairs you corrected — never the verse, no fingerprint, no identity. every send carries a receipt id; keep it, and you can demand deletion by it — corrections are kept until you delete them. our hosting provider processes, and may briefly log, your IP address to deliver the request; it is never stored with the submission.

what stays on your device

the tool stores things locally so it works well for you — none of it ever leaves the browser: the pages you keep (the binder — the last 200, deletable one by one), the parsed pronunciation dictionary (a cache so return visits load fast), and small settings. we ask the browser to protect this storage from automatic cleanup, and "take your pages" hands you the whole binder as a file you own. clearing your browser's site data erases all of it — that is your delete button, and it is total.

global privacy control

browsers can send a "do not sell or share my data" signal (GPC). we honor it in the simplest possible way: there is nothing to opt out of, because nothing is collected, sold, or shared in the first place.
