01Summary
LuxVoice needs no account and asks for no personally identifying information. There is nothing to sign up for.
Because translation and speech are produced by external services rather than on your device, the text you submit and the audio you record are transmitted for processing. That is unavoidable for the feature to work, and it is described precisely below.
Neither the text you translate nor the audio you record is stored on our servers after processing. Transcribed text is shown in the app and removed when you close it.
The app shows advertisements through Google AdMob, with frequency capping to keep them infrequent.

03Other companies involved
Every outside company this app relies on, what it does for the app, and what it can see.
Sproochmaschinn.lu — Luxembourgish speech
Sproochmaschinn.lu
Generates Luxembourgish speech from your text, and transcribes audio you record. Audio is cached locally for a moment, then sent over an encrypted connection for transcription; the resulting text is shown in the app and removed when the app closes.
What they can see

- Audio you record for transcription
This is collected by Sproochmaschinn.lu, not by us, and is governed by its own policies.

Laratranslator privacy policyGoogle AdMob — advertising

Google LLC privacy policy04Information we collect
We collect no account details and no personally identifying information — the app has no sign-in. What the app does transmit is the content you explicitly submit for processing:
- Text you translate or speak
- Text you enter is sent to the translation and speech services so they can return a translation or audio. It is not stored on our servers after processing.
- Audio you record
- When you use speech-to-text, audio is briefly cached on your device and then sent securely to the speech service for transcription. The transcribed text is displayed in the app and removed when you close it.
- Local cache
- Translations and generated audio are cached on your device, so a repeat costs nothing, so repeating a phrase is instant and uses no data. This cache never leaves your device and is removed when you uninstall.
- Preferences
- Your chosen source language and voice are stored locally on your device.
05Permissions
- Microphone
- Required only for speech-to-text, and used only while you are actively recording. The app does not listen in the background.
- Notifications
- Used for occasional Luxembourgish practice reminders. Optional, and disabled from Android settings or in the app.
- Storage
- Used only when you choose to download generated audio, which is written to your public Music folder to your phone’s Music folder.
- Internet
- Required for translation, speech generation and transcription, since those are produced by external services, and to load advertisements.
06Data sharing
We do not sell your data. Content is shared only with the processing services named above, and only for as long as it takes them to return a result. We hold no user records, so there is no profile of you to share with anyone.
07Data retention
Text and audio submitted for processing are not stored on our servers after the result is returned. Transcribed text is removed when you close the app. The local cache of translations and audio lives on your device until you clear the app’s data or uninstall it.
08Consent and regional rights
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland you have the right to withdraw consent, to object to or restrict processing, and to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority — in Luxembourg, the Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD). Residents of certain US states may opt out of personalised advertising.
- Change or withdraw advertising consent under Settings → Privacy Settings in the app.
- Opt out of personalised advertising from the same screen, or reset your advertising ID under Settings → Google → Ads.
- Revoke the microphone permission at any time; translation and speech playback continue to work.
- Clear the app’s data or uninstall it to remove the local cache.
09Children’s privacy
Our services are not directed to anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16, and any such information we discover will be deleted.
10Security
Everything the app sends is encrypted in transit. Backup rules are configured so cached content is not exported off the device unexpectedly. Because we retain nothing after processing, there is no store of your content to breach.
11Your rights and choices
- Use translation and speech playback without ever granting microphone access.
- Turn off practice notifications in the app or in Android settings.
- Opt out of personalised advertising in the app’s privacy settings.
- Clear the local cache, or uninstall the app to remove it entirely.
Because we keep no account and retain no submitted content, there is no stored personal data for us to export, correct or erase. Requests concerning advertising data should be directed to Google.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
