The only time the app connects to the internet is to download voice models and other model files it needs, and to let Apple handle purchases. Those downloads do not send any of your audio or text.
All of the following run locally on your device:
Once the models you need have been downloaded, these features work in Airplane Mode.
We do not collect personal data through the app. Specifically, VocalShift does not:
If you email us for support, we receive whatever you choose to include in that email, and we use it only to reply to you.
VocalShift uses neural voice models that are too large to include in the initial app download. They are delivered by Apple's App Store as additional app content, and the app may start downloading them in the background shortly after you first open it, so your first conversion is fast. These requests ask only for the model files. They do not include your audio, your text, your voice clones or any identifier we create.
These downloads come from Apple's servers, not from a server we run, so we do not receive your IP address or any other connection information from them. Apple handles these downloads under its own privacy policy.
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store (see below). If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymised app usage and crash information. This is controlled by Apple and by your device settings, not by VocalShift.
Subscriptions and the Lifetime purchase are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your name, Apple Account, email address or payment details. The app checks your purchase status through Apple's StoreKit so it can unlock paid features.
You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your iPhone's Settings under your Apple Account > Subscriptions.
VocalShift asks for microphone access so you can record your voice or a reference sample. Audio from the microphone is processed on your device and is not uploaded. You can turn microphone access off at any time in Settings > VocalShift.
If you import an audio or video file from the Files app, or a video through Apple's photo picker, the app reads only the item you choose. VocalShift does not ask for access to your photo library.
Your recordings, voice clones and saved audio are stored inside the app on your iPhone. Because we do not hold copies, you are in full control:
Only create a voice clone from your own voice or from someone who has given you permission. Do not use VocalShift to impersonate, deceive, defraud or harass anyone.
VocalShift is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). Because the app does not collect personal data, we do not knowingly hold any data about children.
If we change how VocalShift handles data, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. If a change means the app would start collecting data it does not collect today, we will describe that change clearly in the app's release notes before it applies.
