Privacy Policy

Virtual Orator App

Last Updated: February 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Virtual Human Technologies (“we,” “us,” or “our”), the developer of Virtual Orator, collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the Virtual Orator software application (“App”) available through the Meta Quest store, Steam, and other platforms.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains our privacy practices and your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other relevant privacy regulations.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information We Do NOT Collect

• Personal identification information (name, email, address, phone number)
• Voice recordings or audio data
• Speech content or text entered into the App
• User-generated content of any kind
• Behavioral data or usage analytics
• Location data
• Cookies or tracking technologies

All content you create within the App remains solely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

1.2 Device Identification for Licensing

The only data element we use is a hardware-derived device identifier code for software licensing verification purposes. This code:

• Is generated from hardware characteristics of your device
• Contains NO personally identifiable information
• Cannot be used to identify you as an individual
• Is used exclusively to verify that your copy of the App is properly licensed
• Is transmitted to and processed by our third-party licensing service provider for license verification
• Is not stored in a way that can be linked to any user identity

2. How We Use Information

The hardware-derived device identifier is used solely for:

• Software license validation
• Preventing unauthorized use of the App
• Ensuring compliance with our End User License Agreement (EULA)

We do not use this identifier for tracking, analytics, advertising, or any other purpose beyond license verification.

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage Only

All content you create, including presentations, speech scripts, recordings, and practice sessions, is stored exclusively on your local device. This data is never uploaded to external servers, cloud storage, or transmitted over the internet.

3.2 Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we process:

• Secure transmission protocols for license verification
• Encryption of data in transit
• Regular security assessments and updates

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

4.1 Third-Party Licensing Service Provider

We use a third-party service provider to process license verification. This provider receives only the hardware-derived device identifier code for the sole purpose of validating your software license. This provider:

• Acts as a data processor on our behalf
• Is contractually bound to use the device identifier only for license verification
• Implements appropriate security measures to protect the data
• Does not use the identifier for any other purpose, including tracking, analytics, or advertising
• Does not share the identifier with any other third parties

4.2 No Other Data Sharing

Beyond our licensing service provider, we do NOT share, sell, rent, or trade any data with any other third parties.

The App does not integrate with other third-party services, advertising networks, or analytics platforms. Your use of the App is completely private.

We may disclose information only if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

5. Your Rights Under Data Protection Laws

Given that we collect minimal data, most data subject rights are not applicable. However, you have the following rights where relevant:

5.1 GDPR Rights (European Economic Area)

• Right to Access: Request confirmation of what limited data we process
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your device identifier from our licensing system
• Right to Object: Object to processing (though this may prevent App functionality)
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: Contact your local data protection authority

5.2 CCPA Rights (California)

• Right to Know: Request information about data collection practices
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of your device identifier
• Right to Non-Discrimination: Exercise rights without discriminatory treatment

Note: We do not sell personal information as defined by CCPA.

5.3 Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: privacy@virtualorator.com

6. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Given that the App does not collect personal information, it may be used by children under parental supervision. However, if you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@virtualorator.com.

7. International Data Transfers

The limited device identifier data processed for licensing purposes may be transmitted to and stored on servers located in various countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

8. Data Retention

We retain the hardware-derived device identifier only for as long as necessary to:

• Verify your software license
• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

If you uninstall the App and request deletion of your data, we will remove your device identifier from our licensing system within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements.

9. Platform-Specific Information

9.1 Meta Quest Platform

When you download and use Virtual Orator through the Meta Quest store, Meta may collect certain information in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not have access to or control over Meta’s data collection practices. Please review Meta’s Privacy Policy for information about their data handling practices.

Virtual Orator does not integrate with Meta’s social features, does not access your Meta account information, and does not share any data with Meta beyond what is required for basic App distribution and licensing.

9.2 Steam Platform

When you download and use Virtual Orator through Steam, Valve Corporation may collect certain information in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not have access to or control over Steam’s data collection practices. Please review Steam’s Privacy Policy for information about their data handling practices.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by:

• Posting the updated policy on our website at virtualorator.com/app-privacy
• Updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy
• Providing notice within the App if the changes are significant

Your continued use of the App after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
