Introduction
MAVS (Multi-Agent Voice Switcher) is a hardware and software platform by Crateso that processes voice commands to interact with AI agents. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data with a focus on transparency and user control. Your voice is your most personal data—we treat it with the utmost care.
1. Data Collection
1.1 Voice Data
MAVS is designed with privacy as a core principle:
- Wake Word Detection: Processed 100% on-device. No audio is transmitted until you activate MAVS
- Voice Commands: Transmitted to your selected AI agent only after activation
- Voice History: Optional. You control whether commands are stored for improvement
- No Always-Listening: MAVS only processes audio after wake word detection
1.2 Device Data
- Device serial number and firmware version
- Network connectivity status
- Battery and usage statistics
- Error logs and crash reports
1.3 Account Data
- Email address and username
- Agent configurations and preferences
- API keys for third-party services (encrypted)
- Usage metrics and feature preferences
1.4 Third-Party Agent Data
When you connect MAVS to AI agents (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), data is transmitted to those providers under their privacy policies. MAVS facilitates the connection but does not control third-party data handling.
2. How We Use Your Data
- Core Functionality: Process voice commands and route to appropriate agents
