Privacy

Ramble is built around one principle: you are anonymous. Here's exactly what happens with your data.

Consent

Before your first recording, we ask for your explicit consent. You are told that your voice will be stored anonymously and that others will be able to hear it. You can decline at any time — nothing is recorded or sent until you agree.

What we store

  • The text transcription of your ramble
  • The audio recording you submitted
  • A numeric embedding of the text (used to find similar rambles)
  • A timestamp of when the ramble was created

Every ramble is stored the same way, with no connection to who said it.

What we don't store

  • IP addresses
  • Location data
  • Device or browser fingerprints
  • Cookies or tracking identifiers
  • Accounts or login information (there are none for users)

There is no way for us to connect a ramble back to the person who recorded it.

Audio expiry

Audio recordings are automatically deleted after 90 days. After expiry, the text transcription and embedding remain (these are genuinely anonymous and cannot identify you), but the voice recording is permanently removed from our servers.

Deletion

When you record a ramble, your browser receives a unique deletion key. This key is stored only on your device — we cannot see it or link it to you. From your history, you can delete any ramble at any time, and both the audio file and the database record are permanently removed. There are no soft deletes or backup copies.

If you clear your browser data, the deletion key is lost. In that case, the audio will still be automatically removed when it reaches the 90-day expiry.

Third-party services

Your audio is sent to a third-party service for transcription and to generate the embedding used for matching. We use Sentry for error monitoring, which may capture technical error details but does not track users.

We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
