Privacy Policy
Effective April 25, 2026
Talmanac helps parents create age-appropriate stories and optional voice narration. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices families have.
What we collect
We collect the information needed to provide the app: voice names you choose, short voice recordings you intentionally submit for cloning, story preferences such as listener age and mood, generated story text, generated audio files, device identifiers for service protection, and basic support messages you send us.
Talmanac is designed so stories and generated audio are cached locally on your device for replay. We do not ask for precise location, contacts, photos, or unrelated device data.
Voice cloning
Voice recording is consent-gated in the app. Only record a voice when you have that person's permission. Voice samples are uploaded to our backend and forwarded to our voice provider, ElevenLabs, to create the private cloned voice used for narration.
You can delete saved voices from the app. When deletion is available through the upstream provider, we request deletion there as well.
Story generation
Stories may be generated on-device with Apple Intelligence when available, or online through Talmanac's backend using a story provider such as Anthropic Claude. We use your selected age, mood, length, and optional story spark only to produce the requested story.
How we use information
We use information to create voices, generate stories, stream or cache narration, keep the service reliable, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, and improve safety and quality. We do not sell personal information.
Children and families
Talmanac is built for parents and guardians to use with children. A parent or guardian should set up the app, choose story settings, and manage any voice recordings. Please do not submit a child's voice for cloning unless you have the legal right to do so and the use is appropriate for your family.
Your choices
You can delete voices in the app, remove cached stories or audio from your device, choose the Apple narrator instead of a cloned voice, and contact us for privacy questions at hello@talmanac.com.
Changes
We may update this policy as Talmanac changes. When we do, we will update the effective date and keep the current policy available at this page.
