ListenEasy Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-10

ListenEasy is an Android text-to-speech engine. This policy explains what information the app handles. In short: ListenEasy works entirely on your device. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no network access, and it does not collect your information.

Speech runs on your device

The bundled voices synthesize speech entirely on your device. The text you have spoken is not sent anywhere, and the app never writes spoken text to logs. Diagnostics, such as the optional speech statistics, contain only numbers like timings and counts.

Information stored on your device

ListenEasy stores the following on your device only: your settings, per-app voice choices, word substitution rules, any notes you create or import, and the key for an automatic notes export if you turn one on, itself protected by Android Keystore. None of this is sent to the developer or to anyone else. It is excluded from Android backup. Uninstalling the app removes it. Notes and rules you choose to export, including a file you choose to keep updated automatically with your rules or your notes (notes exports are encrypted with a password you choose), notes you choose to share or save as text or audio, and text you share into the app, move only where you send them, and exported files stay after uninstalling.

Apps on your device

So per-app settings can name the app that asked for speech, ListenEasy declares that it can see apps with a launcher icon. It stores the package name of an app only after that app has spoken through ListenEasy. It does not list or store your other apps.

No network access

ListenEasy does not request the Internet permission and makes no network connections.

Permissions

• Notifications: for the optional speech-statistics notification, which you turn on, and to show the progress and result of a note's audio file while it is being made.
• Foreground service (media processing, data sync): only while making an audio file of a note you chose to share or save as audio, so it keeps going when you leave the app. The work happens on your device and nothing is sent anywhere.

What we do not do

We do not collect personal information, show ads, use analytics or tracking tools, sell or share data, or build profiles. ListenEasy is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at the same address with a new effective date.
