01Introduction
Loudable (Turn any document into a studio-quality audiobook — entirely on your device.) is built by Codeink Technologies. This policy explains, in plain language, exactly what data the app handles and why.
The short version: the documents you import and the audiobooks Loudable creates from them never leave your device. Everything below is the complete, specific list of what does.
02The privacy contract
This table is a product guarantee, not marketing copy. If a change to the app ever requires adding a row that leaves the device, this policy will be updated first.
| Data | Leaves device? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Document file bytes | Never | Not for parsing, OCR, narration, translation or summaries |
| Extracted text | Never | Stored in a local database on your device only |
| Generated audio | Never | Local files under the app’s own storage |
| Backups and exports | Only when you choose a destination | May contain your local database, downloaded models, source files and generated audio |
| Bookmarks, notes, highlights, positions | Never | Local database only |
| Voice / pronunciation dictionary | Never | Local database only |
| Listening history & stats | Never | Local database only |
| Ad points and reward history | Never | Stored locally to manage rewarded-ad eligibility and usage |
| Anonymous device ID | Yes | Coupon redemption only |
| RevenueCat customer ID + purchase state | Yes | Billing only |
| AdMob ad requests | Yes | Only on the specific ad surfaces below, with consent gathered first |
| Push notification token | Yes | Delivering optional notifications only |
| Catalog browse queries | Yes | Only when you open Discover |
| Crash / analytics data | Not collected | Not shipped in this version of the app |
03How on-device processing works
When you import a PDF, DOCX, EPUB, TXT or scanned image, Loudable runs a complete pipeline — parsing, OCR, layout recovery, language detection, chapter detection and narration — entirely on your phone’s hardware using local AI models. No page, sentence or word of your document is transmitted to any server at any point in that process, including when the app is offline. You can verify this yourself: turn on airplane mode and convert a document — it works exactly the same.
04Third-party services we use
A small number of trusted services support the parts of the app that do need a network connection — billing, optional ads, optional push notifications, and the optional Discover catalog. None of them ever receive your document content.
On-device AI models
Document parsing, OCR, layout understanding, narration, translation and summarisation all run locally on your phone. No document content is ever sent anywhere for processing.
Google AdMob
Serves rewarded ads you choose to watch. Depending on your consent choices, Google may process advertising identifiers and device signals to deliver or measure an ad. Document content is never included.
RevenueCat & Google Play Billing
Verifies and restores your Pro subscription or lifetime purchase. We never see your card details.
Firebase Cloud Messaging
Delivers optional push notifications, which you can disable at any time in system settings.
Codeink catalog & campaign services
Power the optional Discover catalog and promo/coupon features. Used only when you actively browse Discover or redeem a code.
05Advertising
The free tier can show rewarded ads at clear opt-in points, such as before an import, after a chapter conversion, from the paywall, or during a long listening session. A rewarded ad must finish successfully before points are granted; a skipped or failed ad grants nothing. The app spaces these opportunities so ads are not continuously shown, and playback resumes after a deliberately paused ad has closed. Pro subscribers do not see rewarded ads. Where required, consent for ad personalisation is gathered before any ad request is made.
06Storage, backups and deletion
Loudable stores imported documents, extracted text, transcripts, summaries, downloaded models and generated audio in app-managed local storage. A backup is not automatic cloud sync: it is an archive created only when you start it and saved to the destination you select. Because a backup can contain the same material as your library, protect and delete exported backup files as you would the originals.
07Your choices
- Revoke camera or storage permissions at any time in your device settings — Loudable simply won’t be able to import or scan new documents until you grant them again.
- Reset your advertising ID from your device’s Google settings at any time.
- Delete any document, its audio, notes and history individually from your library, or clear everything from Settings.
- Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored documents, audio and history, unless you’ve chosen to keep your downloaded AI models in a folder you selected.
08Permissions and children’s privacy
Camera, notification and file-access permissions are requested only when their related feature is used. You can deny or revoke them in Android settings. Loudable is a productivity tool aimed at professionals and students and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
09Security and changes
Local files are protected by the operating system’s app storage controls, but no device storage is risk-free. Use a device lock and keep exported backups protected. If this policy changes in a way that affects what data leaves your device, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, surface a notice inside the app before the change takes effect.
