SprechGo

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

SprechGo ("we", "us", or "our") provides a pronunciation practice application for iOS, Android, and the web. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By installing or using SprechGo, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

SprechGo is designed to collect as little personal information as possible.

  • Voice recordings. When you tap the record button, the app captures audio from your device microphone solely to evaluate your pronunciation. Recordings are processed in real time by Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Speech and are not stored on our servers.
  • Practice data. Scores, history, favorites, and settings are stored locally on your device (SwiftData on iOS, Room on Android, browser storage on web). We do not upload this data to our servers.
  • Anonymous device identifier. A randomly generated device ID is sent with each speech-evaluation request so that we can rate-limit and prevent abuse. It is not linked to your name, email, or account.
  • Diagnostic logs. If a request fails, the failure type and a timestamp may be logged on our backend. Logs are retained for up to 30 days and contain no personal content.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not require you to create an account.
  • We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or contacts.
  • We do not collect location data.
  • We do not use advertising identifiers and we do not show ads.
  • We do not sell or rent any data to third parties.

3. How Voice Data Is Processed

Voice recordings are streamed to Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Speech for pronunciation assessment. Microsoft acts as our data processor for this purpose. Audio is processed transiently to compute scores and is not retained by SprechGo. For details on how Microsoft handles speech data, please refer to the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

4. How We Use Information

  • To compute pronunciation scores and feedback inside the app.
  • To rate-limit requests and protect the service from abuse.
  • To diagnose and fix technical errors.

5. Data Retention

Practice history stays on your device until you delete the app or clear it from settings. Backend diagnostic logs are deleted within 30 days. We do not retain voice recordings.

6. Children's Privacy

SprechGo is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your Rights

Because we do not store account data on our servers, the most direct way to delete all SprechGo data is to uninstall the app. You may also clear practice history from the in-app Settings screen at any time. For requests related to backend logs, contact us using the address below.

8. Permissions We Request

  • Microphone — required to record your voice for pronunciation assessment. We do not record audio in the background.
  • Network — required to call the speech-evaluation service.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page or within the app.
