What Murmur keeps, and what it never does.

We store what we need to read to you and to keep your account working. We do not sell your data, show you advertising, or use your library to train voice models.

• Your account: your email address and your settings, such as voices, speeds, and sources.
• Your library: the text of each item you save, where it came from (a link or a sender), and how far you have listened.
• Diagnostics: crash reports, only if you turn them on.

Saved items are processed only to read them aloud to you. We extract the text, prepare it for the voice you chose, and generate the audio. Audio is made on servers we run in the European Union and deleted from them once it reaches your device.

Nobody at Lowtide Audio reads your library unless you send us an item for support. Your items are never shared with advertisers or data brokers, and never used to train models.

Delete an item and it is removed from our servers within 30 days, backups included. Delete your account and everything goes with it, on the same schedule.

When you join the waitlist we store your email address, the platform you chose, what you would listen to most, and the date you joined. We use your email only to invite you when Murmur opens.

To stop the form being abused, we briefly keep a one-way, salted hash of your IP address and clear entries older than 24 hours. We never store the address itself. Ask us at any time and we will remove you from the list.

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. Voice samples load only when you press play.

If you use Talk to the orb, your browser asks for the microphone. The sound is analysed inside your browser to move the orb for up to 30 seconds. It is never recorded, saved, or sent to us or anyone else.

Murmur is made by Lowtide Audio Ltd in Bristol, England. Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct, or delete what we hold about you, and you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
