Privacy

Last updated: 30 October 2026

Aurio is built to keep your voice on your Mac. This page explains exactly what is and isn’t collected.

Your audio

Aurio processes your microphone audio locally on your Mac. Denoising runs on-device; your audio is never uploaded, streamed, or stored by us as part of normal use. It also isn’t written to disk.

Trial & license data

To start a free trial, Aurio sends a device identifier for your Mac. We store it so that a trial can be issued once per machine, and so the app can check that a trial or license is still valid.

Aurio does not ask for an email address to start a trial, and there is no account to create. The trial is tied to your Mac, so there is nothing for us to email you about and no mailing list to be added to.

Your IP address is used to rate-limit abuse of our trial and license endpoints. It is kept only for the length of that rate-limit window — at most 24 hours — and then expires automatically.

If you buy a license, your payment is handled by Lemon Squeezy. We never see or store your card details.

Telemetry & crash reports

Aurio includes optional, consent-gated crash reporting (via Sentry). It is off until you agree during onboarding, and you can change your choice at any time in Aurio’s settings. When enabled, a crash sends:

Crash reports are designed to never include captured audio, your microphone contents, or the text of your conversations. We do not sell data or use it for advertising.

This website

aurio.dev counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your browser, and does not follow you to other sites. It reports totals — which pages were visited, the site that linked here, and broad browser and country figures — that are never tied to you. When you click a Download button, the page also tells aurio.dev which button it was, so we can count downloads.

Unless you arrive through a partner link (below), that is all: the site sets no cookies and loads nothing else that identifies your browser.

Partner links

Some people who recommend Aurio are partners who earn a share of a sale they refer. Their links to aurio.dev end in ?aff= and a code. Only when you arrive through one of those links does the page load Lemon Squeezy’s affiliate script, so the partner can be credited. That script:

If you then buy, the checkout receives that reference and Lemon Squeezy credits the partner. You pay the same price either way. A visit without a partner link never loads the script, and deleting aurio.dev’s cookies in your browser removes the reference.

Feedback form

The feedback form sends what you type, the topic you picked and, only if you give one, your email address to our support inbox as an email. Nothing else about you is added to it. We use it to read your feedback and, if you asked, to reply.

To stop the form being used for spam, your IP address is counted for an hour. It is never stored as-is: only a salted, one-way hash of it is kept for that hour, and then expires automatically. The text of your message is not logged or kept anywhere except that email.

Retention

Crash reports are kept only as long as needed to diagnose and fix issues — no more than 90 days — and then deleted. License and trial records — the device identifier — are kept while your license or trial is active. Trial records are deleted automatically no more than 90 days after the trial starts.

Feedback emails are kept in our support inbox for as long as they are useful, and deleted on request.

Service providers

Opt out & deletion

Turn off crash reporting in Aurio’s settings to stop sending any telemetry. To request deletion of any data associated with you, email support@aurio.dev and we’ll remove it.

Who’s responsible

The data controller for Aurio is Siphesihle Mavuso, trading as Aurio. For any privacy question, contact support@aurio.dev.
