What Voxi holds, where it lives, and how long.
| What | Why | Where it lives | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your account | Signing in, and owning a channel | Clerk, our login provider | Until you delete it |
| Your username | It is your channel name and your address on Voxi | Clerk, and in the link you share | Until you delete your account |
| Your video and audio, while you broadcast | Reaching the people watching | Passed through a relay to viewers | The length of the broadcast |
| Chat and reactions | Carrying them to the room | Held in memory while the room is open, and passed on | The moment they are delivered |
| A count of who is watching | The viewer number a broadcaster and a room both see | Derived from the open connections | While the room is open |
| Your network address, as a rate-limit bucket | Keeping one person from flooding a room | Attached to your connection: the IPv4 address, or the IPv6 /64 | Until you disconnect |
| How long you have watched, if you are not signed in | Keeping the five minutes a stream and fifteen minutes a day that a signed-out visitor gets | Times and durations against the same network address as the row above. No channel, no stream, no name: it can say how long, never what | 24 hours from each entry, then deleted |
| Your channel's listing, if you make it public | Showing it on the front page | Channel name and title | Until your broadcast ends or you make it private. If we deploy an update mid-broadcast the row outlives the disconnect, and the next read of the front page checks it against a live broadcast and drops it |
| A session cookie | Keeping you signed in, and proving the channel is yours when you broadcast | Your browser, first-party, named __session. It holds a
signed token, not your password |
About a minute; your browser replaces it while you are signed in |
| Your ambient setting | Remembering how much light you want around the video | Your own browser, under voxi.ambient |
Until you clear your browser data |
| A sign-in loop guard | Keeping a bookmarked link from bouncing you back here more than once | Your own browser, under voxi.resume |
Until you close the tab |
The avatar is off until you turn it on. The control is Avatar overlay from the camera in the studio, and turning it on is where we set out what is read and ask you to agree to it. Nothing opens your camera for the avatar before that.
The reading happens on your own machine. What leaves it is movement — a set of numbers describing how much each expression is showing — and those numbers drive the avatar a viewer sees.
We treat those numbers as biometric data, because expression dynamics describe a person's face even after they have stopped being a picture.
Account deletion is in your account settings, through the profile control in the header when you are signed in. Deleting the account removes the identity and the username, which releases the channel name.
If you would rather ask a person, write to privacy@voxi.live.
