What happens to Read Along data? What are the privacy and security practices?
When learners read aloud, their voice data is primarily processed only on the user’s device and is not shared with Google. In limited cases, voice data is sent temporarily to Google servers to enable real-time speech recognition. Voice data is not stored at all after processing. Read Along can be used without signing in or providing location or contact information.
