SpeakReady: Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 8, 2026

SpeakReady is an English test speaking practice application that helps users prepare for English speaking tests through AI-powered feedback. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

We do not sell user data to third parties or show advertisements. Our focus is solely on providing a quality English test preparation experience while respecting your privacy.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign in using Sign in with Apple, we collect:

• Your email address
• Your name (if provided)
• A unique user identifier

This information is used to create and manage your account, track your free trial usage, and sync your subscription status.

Audio Recordings

When you practice speaking and choose to receive AI feedback, we ask for your permission before uploading your response for processing. With your permission, the following practice data is transmitted securely to our servers:

• Your audio recording
• The transcript generated from your audio recording
• The selected practice topic and cue card prompts

We use this data only to transcribe your response, evaluate your speaking practice, generate feedback, and save your resulting practice history. Your audio recording is not permanently stored after processing is complete.

Third-Party AI Processing

To provide feedback, we share limited practice data with third-party AI service providers:

• OpenAI: our third-party AI provider, receives your audio recording to transcribe it using Whisper, then receives the transcript, selected practice topic, and cue card prompts so an AI model can generate speaking feedback and band score estimates.

These providers process the data to deliver the requested AI features. We do not use your audio recordings, transcripts, topics, or feedback for advertising or profiling. We also do not use them to train our own AI models, and we do not permit or opt in to third-party AI model training or model-improvement use for this data. OpenAI states that API data is not used to train or improve OpenAI models by default unless the customer opts in.

We require third-party service providers we use to protect personal data with appropriate safeguards and confidentiality obligations that provide the same or substantially similar level of protection described in this policy.

Practice Data

We store your practice history, including:

• Topics you have practiced
• Feedback, transcripts, and scores received

This data is collected anonymously and is used solely for understanding app usage patterns and improving our service.

Crash and Diagnostic Data
