Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 6, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Swipe Speak ("the App"), a mobile application developed by Everyday App ("we," "us," or "our"). The App helps you practice speaking English: you see a word or expression on a flashcard, speak a sentence using it, and receive feedback and corrections. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how the App works and how it handles information.

How the App Works

Practice Sessions and Speech Recognition

• During a practice session, the App listens through the microphone while you speak your sentence, and converts your speech to text using Apple's speech recognition technology built into iOS.
• Where your device supports it, the App requests on-device speech recognition, so your voice is processed entirely on your device. On devices that do not support on-device recognition, audio may be sent to Apple's servers for processing, as described in Apple's Privacy Policy.
• The App does not record or save audio. Only the recognized text of your sentence is kept for the session.

AI Sentence Checking

• At the end of a practice session, the sentences you spoke (as text, together with the word or expression you were practicing) are sent over an encrypted connection to our server-side proxy, which forwards them to an AI language-model provider to check your sentences and generate corrections.
• This text is used only to produce your feedback. We do not store your sentences on our servers, and we do not use them for any other purpose.
• No account, name, or other personal identifier is attached to these requests.

Your Cards, History, and Progress

• Your session history (the sentences you practiced and their corrections), custom cards you create, favorites, and learned-word progress are stored in the App's private, sandboxed storage on your device.
• This data stays on your device. You can view or delete it at any time from within the App.

Practice Reminders

If you turn on daily practice reminders, the App schedules local notifications on your device at the hour you choose. These notifications are created and managed entirely on your device; no reminder data is sent anywhere.

App Preferences

Your app settings (such as theme preference, reminder settings, and your subscription status) are stored locally on your device using standard iOS storage mechanisms.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Everyday App, as the developer of Swipe Speak, does not collect, store, or transmit to our own servers:

• Personal identification information (name, email, address)
• Audio recordings of your voice
• Your session history, custom cards, or progress data
• Location data

The only content that leaves your device through our systems is the text of your practice sentences, sent for AI checking as described above, and it is not stored by us. Please note that for free users, third-party advertising partners may collect certain device information as described in the "Advertising and Third-Party Services" section below.

Permissions

• Microphone: Required so the App can hear the sentences you speak during practice sessions. The microphone is only active during a practice session. You can manage this permission in your device's Settings app.
• Speech Recognition: Required to convert your speech to text so your sentences can be checked and corrected. You can manage this permission in your device's Settings app.
• Notifications: Required only if you enable daily practice reminders. This is optional, and you can turn reminders off in the App or manage the permission in your device's Settings app.
• App Tracking Transparency: For free users, the App may ask for permission to track you across other apps and websites for advertising purposes. This is optional — you can decline, and the App will continue to work. You can change your choice at any time in your device's Settings app.

Your Voice and Your Privacy

• The App listens only during an active practice session that you start. It never listens in the background.
• Audio is not recorded or saved — it is converted to text in real time and then discarded.
• Your practice history stays on your device, and we have no access to it at any time.

How We Use Your Information

Information is processed for the following purposes only:

• Converting your speech to text during practice sessions
• Checking your sentences and generating corrections and feedback
• Saving your session history, custom cards, favorites, and progress on your device
• Scheduling the daily practice reminders you enable
• Saving your app preferences and subscription status

Data Storage and Security

• Your session history, custom cards, progress, and app preferences are stored locally on your device within the App's sandboxed storage.
• Data is protected by your device's built-in security features, including hardware encryption.
• Sentence-checking requests are sent over encrypted (HTTPS) connections, and your sentences are not stored on our servers.
• Uninstalling the App deletes all locally stored history, cards, data, and settings from your device.

In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The App offers optional premium subscriptions through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Premium features include an ad-free experience, among other unlocked features. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID credentials.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

Swipe Speak does not use any third-party analytics tools of our own. For free users, the App displays advertisements through the following advertising network:

• Google AdMob — see Google's Privacy Policy.

To serve and measure ads, this partner may collect certain device information, such as a device advertising identifier, general device and usage signals, and coarse information about your interaction with ads. Whether an advertising identifier is used for cross-app tracking depends on the choice you make in the App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline tracking, ads may still be shown on a non-personalized or limited basis. Premium subscribers enjoy an ad-free experience and are not shown these ads.

Children's Privacy

Swipe Speak does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. The App is a general education tool that does not require any personal information to function. Please note that the advertising described above may not be directed at children; if you wish to avoid ads entirely, a premium subscription removes them.

Your Rights and Choices

Managing Your Data

• You decide when a practice session starts and when the App listens.
• You can delete individual session history entries and custom cards from within the App at any time.
• You can change microphone, speech recognition, notification, and tracking permissions in your device's Settings app.
• Uninstalling the App removes all associated history, cards, data, and settings from your device.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
