Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 8, 2026

Welcome to Talkio. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.

This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use the Talkio mobile application (the "App") and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us

• Account Information: If you create an account, we collect basic details like your email-address and display name.
• Audio and Speech Data: Our App uses microphone access and speech recognition technologies to analyze your pronunciation and help you learn languages. Audio data is transmitted securely to our servers or third-party AI services for processing.
• Usage Context: Submissions, texts, grammar points, and voice interactions required to facilitate the AI language learning features.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information: We may collect details about your device, including the hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
• Usage Details: Information about your interactions with the App, such as the features you use, the time and duration of your activities.
• In-App Purchases: We use RevenueCat (and Apple/Google services) to process subscriptions. We do not store or process complete credit card numbers on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us:

• To provide, maintain, and improve the App's AI-driven language learning features.
• To process and analyze your speech to provide real-time pronunciation feedback.
• To manage your account and subscription status.
• To comply with legal obligations and Apple App Store Review Guidelines.

3. Third-Party Services

Our App may use third-party services that collect information used to identify you, including but not limited to:

• RevenueCat: Used to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions.
• Voice/AI APIs: We use external language processing or TTS (Text-to-Speech) / STT (Speech-to-Text) APIs to power the learning experiences.

4. Data Security & Retention

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access. Your voice recordings are processed transiently to give you feedback and are not used to independently identify you outside of this app.

We retain your account data only as long as necessary to provide our services and for legitimate and essential business purposes.

5. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe we might have any information from a child under 13, please contact us so we can delete it.

6. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will notify you through an in-App notice.
