Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 10, 2026 · Effective: May 10, 2026

We built Spekie with a privacy-first mindset. We collect only what we need to deliver the service, we never sell your data, and your audio recordings are automatically deleted when you delete your account.

1. Who We Are

Spekie ("we", "our", or "us") is a mobile application that helps users improve their communication and public speaking skills through AI-powered feedback. Our contact email is hello@spekie.app.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

Account information: Email address and password when you create an account.
Audio recordings: Voice recordings you make during practice sessions and baseline assessments. You may record in any of the supported languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Turkish, and Italian).

2.2 Information Generated by the App

Transcripts: Text transcriptions of your audio recordings, generated by OpenAI Whisper.
Feedback and scores: AI-generated coaching feedback and performance scores across five skill categories (Clarity, Structure, Fluency, Confidence, Expression).
Improved transcripts: A polished rewrite of your speech generated by the AI coach as part of your feedback.
Session history: Records of your practice sessions including date, category focus, and scores.
Streak data: Your daily practice streak count and last session date.

2.3 Automatically Collected Information

Device information: iOS version and device type (for compatibility and error monitoring).
Usage data: Pseudonymous analytics events such as session completions, paywall views, and subscription status (for product improvement — see Section 5.4).
Push notification tokens: If you enable practice reminders, we store a device push token to deliver local notifications. You can disable this at any time in your device settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

To create and manage your account.
To transcribe and analyze your speech recordings and generate personalized coaching feedback.
To display your progress, scores, and session history within the app.
To track your daily practice streak.
To process payments and manage your subscription via RevenueCat.
To send you practice reminder notifications, if you have opted in.
To detect and fix bugs and crashes in the app.
To communicate with you about your account (transactional emails only).

4. Audio Data & Retention

Your audio recordings are stored in Supabase Storage and retained for as long as your account exists. They are sent to OpenAI's Whisper API for transcription; the resulting transcript is then sent to OpenAI's GPT API for AI coaching analysis. Audio recordings, transcripts, feedback, and all associated session data are permanently and automatically deleted when you delete your account.

5. Third-Party Services

To deliver Spekie, we work with the following third-party service providers. Each has its own privacy policy and data handling practices.

5.1 Supabase

We use Supabase for database storage, user authentication, and audio file storage. Your data is processed on Supabase's servers. See Supabase Privacy Policy.

5.2 OpenAI

Your audio recordings are sent to OpenAI's Whisper API for transcription, and your transcripts are sent to OpenAI's GPT API for analysis. We do not send any personally identifiable information (name, email) to OpenAI — only audio and text content. See OpenAI Privacy Policy.

5.3 RevenueCat

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat may collect device identifiers and purchase history. See RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

5.4 PostHog

We use PostHog for product analytics to understand how users engage with Spekie. Analytics events (e.g., session completed, paywall shown) are pseudonymous — they are linked to your user ID but do not include your audio recordings, transcripts, or email address. See PostHog Privacy Policy.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS encryption).
User passwords are hashed by Supabase Auth — we never store plaintext passwords.
API keys (OpenAI, etc.) are stored as server-side secrets and never exposed to the client app.
Session tokens expire after 1 week.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your data using industry-standard practices.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: Request corrections to inaccurate data.
Deletion: Delete your account directly within the app. This automatically and permanently deletes your account, audio recordings, transcripts, scores, session history, and all associated data. You may also submit a deletion request to hello@spekie.app.
Portability: Request an export of your session history and scores in a machine-readable format.
Objection: Object to certain uses of your data where we rely on legitimate interest as the legal basis.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@spekie.app. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

Spekie is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

Spekie is operated from Turkey. Your data may be processed and stored on servers located in the United States and other countries where our third-party providers operate. By using the app, you consent to this transfer. We ensure our providers maintain appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notification at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of Spekie after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
