Privacy Policy for QWEM3 TTS Studio
Last Updated: March 20, 2026

1. Local-First AI Processing
QWEM3 TTS Studio is designed with a "Local-First" architecture.
Audio Synthesis: All AI voice generation is performed locally on your hardware.
Voice Cloning: Any audio you record or upload for cloning remains on your local storage and is never transmitted to our servers.
Data Storage: Your voice library and generated files are stored in your local "Documents" folder.

2. Anonymous Telemetry & Crash Reporting (Opt-In)
To help us improve the stability and performance of the application across different hardware (AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA), the app includes an optional telemetry system.
Opt-In Only: This feature is disabled by default. You must explicitly enable it in the "Settings" menu.
Information Collected: If enabled, the app sends anonymous technical data including crash tracebacks (errors), device GPU/CPU models, and feature usage statistics.

*Purpose: This data is used solely for debugging and optimizing the AI engine. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information (PII).

3. Third-Party Services
We use Microsoft Azure Application Insights to process anonymous technical telemetry. No other third-party trackers or advertising SDKs are included in this application.

4. Permissions
Microphone: Used only when you choose to record a sample for Voice Cloning. Audio is processed locally.
File System: Used to save your generated audio and manage your voice library.

5. Contact
For technical support or questions regarding this policy, please use the "Generate Bug Report" feature in the application or contact us at: iNdioNicarao@gmail.com
