Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 April 2026 · Effective immediately
Short version: Vosuba AI is a desktop application. We never see your videos, audio, or transcripts — they are processed entirely on your Mac. The only data we collect is standard website analytics and the minimum needed to validate your licence key. We do not sell your data to anyone.
1. Who We Are
This policy applies to the Vosuba AI website at vosuba.com and the Vosuba AI desktop application, both operated by Shaking Sheep Studio Limited, a sole proprietorship based in Hong Kong SAR, China ("we," "us," "our").
For privacy questions or requests, contact us at: contact.vosuba@gmail.com
2. Data the Desktop Application Collects
Vosuba AI processes all media files locally on your device using on-device AI models. We do not transmit, receive, or store your videos, audio recordings, subtitle files, or transcripts on any server.
The application makes the following outbound connections:
2a. Licence Validation
When you activate a licence key, the app contacts our licence validation endpoint (powered by Lemon Squeezy) to verify the key and bind it to your device identifier. The following data is transmitted at activation time:
- Your licence key
- A unique machine fingerprint (derived from hardware identifiers, used only to enforce the per-device limit)
After successful activation, validation is performed offline and no further data is sent unless you manually re-activate.
2b. AI Model Downloads
When you install Whisper AI models through the onboarding wizard, the app downloads them from Hugging Face or OpenAI's official servers. Only standard HTTP metadata (your IP address) is sent as part of the download request. We do not control Hugging Face's or OpenAI's data practices.
3. Data Collected on the Website (vosuba.com)
3a. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. GA4 collects anonymised data including pages visited, time on site, referral source, and general geographic region (country level). IP addresses are anonymised before storage.
Google may process this data in the United States and other countries where Google operates. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
3b. Lemon Squeezy (Checkout & Payments)
When you purchase a licence, you are redirected to a Lemon Squeezy checkout page. Lemon Squeezy acts as the merchant of record and processes your payment data (name, email, billing address, card details) under their own privacy policy. We receive only the following from Lemon Squeezy:
- Your email address (to deliver your licence key)
- Order ID and licence key
- Country of purchase (for tax and reporting purposes)
