Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

Voq is a free Chrome extension that reads webpage text aloud. This page explains what data Voq does — and does not — handle.

Summary

  • Voq does not collect any personal data.
  • Voq does not store any user data, on your device or on a server.
  • Voq does not require an account or sign-up.
  • Voq has no analytics, tracking, or advertising of any kind.

How Voq works

When you select text on a webpage and choose to have it read aloud, Voq passes that text directly to your browser's built-in Web Speech API, which converts it to speech on your device. The text is not sent to Voq's servers, because Voq does not operate any servers that process or store webpage content.

Data collection

Voq does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

  • The text or webpages you have Voq read aloud
  • Your browsing history
  • Personal information, such as your name, email, or IP address
  • Usage analytics or telemetry

Voq does not use cookies, does not include any third-party trackers, and does not share data with any third party, because no data is collected in the first place.

Permissions

Voq requests only the browser permissions it needs to read the current page's text aloud and display its reading controls. These permissions are used solely to provide that functionality on your device and are never used to collect or transmit data elsewhere.

Accounts

Voq does not require you to create an account or sign in. You can install and use Voq immediately after adding it to Chrome.

Children's privacy

Voq does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children, because it does not collect data at all.

Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
