1. Introduction
At Voxxwire ("we", "our", or "us"), privacy is at the core of everything we build. Voxxwire is an offline, real-time speech translation desktop application for Windows. This Privacy Policy explains how our desktop application and website (voxxwire.com) process information.
2. Desktop Application Data Handling (100% Offline)
Voxxwire's desktop software is engineered to operate completely offline without sending data to external servers:
- Audio Processing: Microphone and system audio streams are captured, processed with Voice Activity Detection (VAD), transcribed via Whisper ASR, and translated via Argos Translate entirely on your local CPU/GPU memory.
- No Cloud Uploads: Audio recordings, transcripts, translated text, and spoken output are never transmitted over the internet, stored remotely, or shared with third parties.
- Local Model Files: Language models and voice files are stored locally on your machine after installation.
3. Website Data Collection & Analytics
When you visit our website (voxxwire.com), standard technical information may be automatically logged by hosting infrastructure (GitHub Pages), such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and access timestamp to ensure security and reliability.
