Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 May 2026

SpeakPair ("we", "us", "the app") is a language exchange platform that matches adult users for short one-on-one video conversations. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Who we are

• App: SpeakPair
• Contact: support@speakpair.com

2. What we collect

When you sign up:

• Email address (for authentication)
• Name (display name; you choose)
• Date of birth (to verify the 18+ age requirement)
• Native language and languages you want to practice
• Optional bio

When you use the app:

• Call session metadata: who you matched with, when, duration
• Ratings you give and receive (1–5 stars + "talk again" preference)
• Reports and blocks
• Streak data (consecutive practice days)
• Daily talk-time aggregates
• Device push token (only if you opt in to streak reminders)

We do NOT record video or audio of your calls. Calls are peer-to-peer through Daily.co; we have no access to the media stream.

3. How we use it

• To match you with another adult who speaks the language you want to practice
• To enforce safety rules (block list, bad-rating exclusion, reports)
• To show your progress (streak, daily goal, history)
• To send streak reminders (only if you enable them)
• To respond to support requests

4. Camera and microphone

The app accesses your camera and microphone only while you are in an active call that you initiated by tapping "Start Speaking". The streams are sent peer-to-peer via Daily.co's WebRTC infrastructure and are not stored on our servers. Permissions are managed by your device OS; you can revoke them at any time in iOS or Android settings.

5. Third parties

We share data with:

• Supabase — authentication, database, realtime infrastructure
• Daily.co — video infrastructure (peer-to-peer media)
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — push notifications, only if you enable streak reminders

Each provider handles your data under their own privacy policy. We do not sell your data to advertisers or any third party.

6. Data retention

• Account data is retained while your account is active.
• Call session metadata and ratings are kept for 90 days, then anonymized.
• Reports are kept for 2 years for legal compliance.
• Logs are kept for 30 days then deleted.

7. Account deletion

You can delete your account from the Profile tab. All linked data (profile, ratings, streaks, blocks) is removed within 30 days. Call session metadata is anonymized rather than deleted to preserve other users' rating history.

8. Children

SpeakPair is for users 18 years and older only. Accounts created by anyone under 18 will be terminated as soon as detected. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

9. Your rights

You may:

• Request a copy of your data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your account and data
• Withdraw consent for optional features (e.g., notifications)

Email support@speakpair.com to make a request. We respond within 30 days.

10. Security

Data in transit is encrypted (TLS). Database access is restricted by row-level security; only the account owner and authorized SpeakPair staff can access account data. We are not liable for breaches caused by third-party providers — they have their own security commitments.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced in the app and the "Last updated" date will be revised. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the new policy.

12. Law enforcement

If we receive a valid legal request from a competent authority, we may share account data and call metadata. We do not share data without a valid request.
