To address user concerns regarding privacy, the following statement explains how the AI features in Maono Link operate and how user data is handled. We understand that some users may have concerns about AI technologies, therefore the software is designed with a local-processing approach to minimize reliance on external services.
1. Local Model Processing
The AI Noise Reduction and AI Voice Changer features in Maono Link operate using locally deployed models. All audio processing is performed in real time on the user's device. The software creates a virtual audio device (AI Microphone) to process and output the audio signal, without relying on cloud computing or remote servers.
2. No Collection of Voice Content or Personal Data
When using AI features such as noise reduction or voice changing, Maono Link does not collect, record, or analyze the user's voice content. No personally identifiable information is accessed or generated. Audio signals exist only as temporary real-time data streams within the local device.
3. No Audio Upload Mechanism
Maono Link does not include any module designed to upload audio data. Audio captured from the microphone is not transmitted to Maono servers or any third-party platforms. All processing occurs locally on the user's computer.
4. AI Features Are Optional
AI Noise Reduction and AI Voice Changer are optional features that users can enable or disable at any time. Disabling these features will not affect device connectivity or the core audio functionality of the software.
5. Virtual Audio Device Explanation
To enable real-time AI audio processing, the software creates a system virtual audio device (AI Microphone). This is a common implementation used by audio software, similar to virtual sound cards or digital audio workstation routing, and is solely intended for local audio routing and processing.
6. Data Security Principles
Maono Link follows a design philosophy of “local processing and minimal data usage.” Audio data is neither stored nor uploaded, ensuring that user voice content remains fully controlled by the local device.
