Privacy
This is exactly what Tempo stores about your documents, what it doesn't collect, and how to remove what's yours.
What's stored
- Your document, as uploaded, and the clean text pulled from it.
- Its audio, once you've listened to it, so it isn't synthesised twice.
- An owner cookie, so you can find your documents again. It isn't tied to your name or email — Tempo doesn't ask for either.
- An invite cookie, when the invite code is turned on, so you don't have to enter it twice.
- A hashed daily counter for your address, used only to enforce the upload and listening limits.
What's not
- No analytics. Nothing about how you use Tempo is tracked or sent anywhere.
- No third-party requests. Every font, script and style is served from this Mac.
- No document text in logs. Server logs keep ids, sizes, durations and errors — never your words.
How long
A document is kept until it's deleted. Tempo doesn't purge anything on a timer. Whoever owns this Mac can see and delete any document on it.
Sharing
Anyone with a document's link can read it, listen to it and keep it in their own library. Only the person who added the document can rename, edit or delete it.
Deleting
Open the document and choose Delete. That removes the document and its audio for everyone who has the link — the link then shows "This document was deleted."
