OpenVoiceUI is an open-source, self-hosted voice AI platform distributed under the MIT License. This privacy policy explains how data is handled across the open-source project and our optional managed hosting service.
When you self-host OpenVoiceUI, we collect no data whatsoever. The software runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Your conversations, files, generated content, and configuration never leave your server. We have no telemetry, no analytics, no phone-home behavior, and no crash reporting built into the application.
Because the source code is open and available on GitHub, you can verify this yourself. We encourage you to audit the codebase.
If you use our managed hosting service, each client runs on an isolated container with dedicated storage. The following data is stored on our servers as part of normal operation:
Your data is isolated from other tenants. We do not sell, share, or use client data for model training or any purpose beyond providing you the service.
The OpenVoiceUI marketing website (openvoiceui.com) is a static site. When you submit the contact form, your name, email, and message are processed through Netlify Forms and stored by Netlify. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
The marketing website does not set any cookies. The managed hosting service uses a session cookie (__session) strictly for authentication purposes. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or any third-party cookie-based analytics.
We do not currently run any analytics or tracking on the marketing website or within the application. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no third-party tracking scripts. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and we will use privacy-respecting, cookie-free analytics only.
Depending on your configuration, OpenVoiceUI may connect to third-party APIs for AI inference (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or Z.AI), text-to-speech, image generation, and music creation. These connections are made directly from your instance using your own API keys. We do not proxy, intercept, or log these requests. Each third-party service has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle the data you send them.
The entire OpenVoiceUI application is open source under the MIT License. Every line of code that runs on your machine is available for inspection at github.com/MCERQUA/OpenVoiceUI. There are no obfuscated modules, no hidden network calls, and no compiled blobs. If you want to know exactly what the software does with your data, read the code.
For self-hosted instances, you control all data retention. Delete what you want, when you want.
For managed hosting clients, your data is retained for the duration of your service. If you discontinue service, contact us and we will provide a full export of your data and remove it from our servers within 30 days.
OpenVoiceUI is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. For managed hosting clients, material changes will be communicated via email.
