Stentor is built so your scripts and your voice stay on your computer. This page says exactly what the app and this website collect, what is sent elsewhere and when, and what you can ask us to do.

What stays on your computer

Everything you make in Stentor is stored in a folder on your computer (~/Library/Application Support/Stentor): your scripts and their versions, your voice recordings and the consent recordings that go with them, voiceovers, settings and pronunciation rules. Keys for ElevenLabs and Hugging Face, and your Stentor licence, are stored in your computer's secure keychain. We can't see any of it.

The trial and your licence

To run the free trial and keep each licence to one computer, Stentor uses an anonymous code for your computer: a one-way scramble of its hardware ID. It can't be turned back into the ID, and it doesn't include your name, your files or anything you make.

• Trial: when Stentor first opens, and when it starts while online, it sends this code and the date the trial began, so reinstalling doesn't restart it. We keep the code and that date.
• Licence: when you enter your licence key, Stentor sends the key and the code to activate it on this computer. After that, it checks the licence when it starts and every few hours while you're online, so a refunded or moved licence stops working. We keep a scrambled form of your key (never the key itself), the code of the computer it's on, and when it was activated.
• When you buy, we create your licence key and email it to you; we keep it with your order so we can resend it and turn it off if the purchase is refunded.

Buying Stentor

Payments are handled by Razorpay, our payment provider: they take the payment, under Razorpay's privacy policy. We never see your card or bank details. We get your email, your name and what you bought, to send your receipt and licence key, and to help you with your licence.

When something leaves your computer

Besides the licence checks above, only in these cases, and only because you chose to:

Downloading voice models

Models download from Hugging Face. Like any download, Hugging Face sees your IP address. If you sign in with Hugging Face to get a model that needs it, the download uses your account's token. Hugging Face's privacy policy applies.

Writing assistants (Claude Code and Codex)

When you use Enhance, Fix how it's said or Translate, Stentor runs Claude Code or Codex on your computer, signed in with your own plan. The text you're working on is sent to Anthropic or OpenAI by that tool, under your account and their terms: Anthropic's privacy policy, OpenAI's privacy policy. Stentor doesn't send it anywhere else. The writing assistant that runs on your computer sends nothing.

Checking for updates

Every few hours while it's open, Stentor downloads a small file from this website that says which version is the newest. It sends nothing about you or your work; like any request, the host (Cloudflare) sees your IP address.

ElevenLabs

If you connect your ElevenLabs key and voice a script with an ElevenLabs voice, the text being voiced is sent to ElevenLabs. If you choose Send to ElevenLabs on a voice you cloned in Stentor, that voice's recording is uploaded to your ElevenLabs account. ElevenLabs' privacy policy applies.

This website

• No account, no cookies and no tracking. If we add visitor statistics later, they'll be cookie-free and won't identify you, and this page will say so.
• The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes basic request data (like IP addresses) to serve and protect it, and runs the invisible check on the forms that stops bots.
• The download is served by the host that stores the file, which, like any download, sees basic request data such as your IP address.

Your email

• When you download: we keep your email, whether Send me tips and news was ticked, and when you downloaded. News goes out only if the box was ticked, and every news email lets you stop it in one click.
• Notify me (Windows, Linux): we keep your email and which systems you chose, to email you once when that version is ready.
• To stop the forms being abused, we also keep a scrambled code made from your network's address for an hour, never the address itself.
• To have your email deleted, write to [email protected].

Your choices and rights

You can ask us what we hold about you (your email, your computer's anonymous code and licence activation, and any emails you've sent us), correct it, or have it deleted, at any time: write to [email protected]. Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR give you these rights and the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Stentor isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect anything from them.

Changes

If this changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change matters, for example if the app ever sends anything new, we'll say so on this site and in the app's release notes before it happens.
