SpeakLocal uses artificial intelligence to provide translations and travel assistance.

Depending on the feature you use, your requests may be securely processed by third-party AI providers. Examples include:

• Translation
• Pronunciation generation
• Travel assistance
• Cultural tips
• Conversation assistance

Only the information necessary to complete your request is transmitted. We encourage users not to enter highly sensitive personal information into AI prompts.

SpeakLocal may use trusted third-party providers to operate the service. These may include:

• OpenAI (AI-powered language services)
• Apple (App Store, subscriptions, system services)
• Firebase (analytics, if enabled)
• Amplitude (product analytics, if enabled)
• Apple StoreKit (subscription management)

Each provider processes information according to its own privacy practices.

If translation history is enabled, translations may be stored locally on your device so that you can revisit previous translations.

You can:

• Delete individual translations
• Clear all history
• Reset the app

History is not intended to be a permanent cloud backup unless a future feature explicitly provides synchronization.

Saved phrases are stored on your device. These phrases may include:

• Original text
• Translation
• Pronunciation
• Selected language
• Travel mode

You may delete saved phrases at any time.

If analytics are enabled, SpeakLocal may collect anonymous usage information to help improve the app. Examples include:

• Feature usage
• Screen views
• Performance metrics
• Crash reports

Analytics are used only to improve product quality. Analytics are not used to identify you personally.

To improve stability, anonymous crash reports may be collected. Crash reports may include:

• Device type
• Operating system
• App version
• Stack traces
• Technical diagnostics

Crash reports do not intentionally include your translated conversations.

SpeakLocal currently does not display third-party advertising.

If advertising is introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

Depending on the feature, information may be stored:

• Locally on your device
• Securely by Apple’s subscription infrastructure
• Temporarily by trusted AI service providers while processing requests

We take reasonable measures to protect your information during transmission and storage.

We retain information only for as long as necessary. Examples:

• Translation history remains until you delete it.
• Saved phrases remain until you remove them.
• Anonymous analytics follow the retention policies of the respective providers.

You may:

• Delete saved phrases
• Clear translation history
• Disable microphone permission
• Change app language
• Cancel your subscription through Apple
• Reset the application

You may also uninstall the app at any time.

SpeakLocal is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate.

Because SpeakLocal provides AI-powered language services, information necessary to process your requests may be transferred to servers located outside your country.

We work with trusted service providers that employ appropriate safeguards to protect user information.

We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect information, including:

• Encrypted network connections (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure Apple platform APIs
• Restricted access to production systems
• Modern authentication where applicable

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including:

• Access your information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion
• Restrict processing
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent where applicable

To exercise these rights, please contact us.

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other applicable laws.

SpeakLocal does not sell personal information.

If you are located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, processing of personal information is performed under applicable legal bases, including:

• Performance of a contract
• Legitimate interests
• Consent where required
• Compliance with legal obligations

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If significant changes are made, we will update the “Effective Date” above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the app.

Continued use of SpeakLocal after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
