Privacy Policy for SpeakTrue
Last Updated: March 18, 2026
Overview
SpeakTrue is an iOS speech app with text-to-speech, speech-to-text, speech-to-speech, soundboard management, and optional account sync. This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and how it aligns with Apple’s App Store privacy requirements.
Scope
This policy applies to data handled by the SpeakTrue app, including data processed by service providers we use to operate core functionality.
Data We Collect
Below are the primary data categories relevant to App Store privacy disclosures.
1) Identifiers and Account Data
- Account/session identifiers (for example: account ID) used for authentication and session management.
- If you sign in with Apple or Google, identity information provided by the auth provider and Supabase may include your name and email/account identifiers.
Purpose: App Functionality (sign-in, session restore, settings sync, entitlement checks).
2) User Content
- Text you submit for speech generation.
- Audio you record for transcription, speech conversion, or voice-cloning flows.
- Soundboard clip metadata and files when you choose cloud-backed soundboard features.
Purpose: App Functionality (generate speech, transcribe audio, manage clips).
3) Purchases and Entitlements
- Subscription/entitlement status related to in-app purchases.
- Billing-related verification signals used to activate and maintain paid features.
Purpose: App Functionality (purchase validation, entitlement access).
4) Usage Data
- Limited app usage signals (classified in App Store Connect as “Other Usage Data”) may be collected to support operation and service reliability.
Purpose: App Functionality.
5) App Settings and Preferences
- Voice/model selections, style controls, playback settings, theme, and related preferences.
- Settings may be stored locally and, when signed in, synced to your cloud profile.
Purpose: App Functionality and Product Personalization.
6) Diagnostics
- Crash data, performance data, and other diagnostic data may be collected to maintain app stability and improve quality.
- Diagnostic data is used for app functionality and analytics.
- Diagnostic data is not used for tracking.
Purpose: App Functionality and Analytics.
7) Optional Credentials (BYOK)
- Optional fallback/provider keys that you provide in settings.
- Local fallback key is stored on-device; optional paid-tier BYOK can be transmitted over authenticated HTTPS and stored encrypted at rest.
Purpose: App Functionality (request routing and feature operation).
Data We Do Not Use for Tracking
- We do not use data for cross-app or cross-website tracking.
- We do not sell personal data.
- We do not share personal data with data brokers.
- We do not use your data for third-party advertising.
For App Store privacy labeling, this means data is collected for app functionality/personalization, not tracking-based advertising.
Data Linked to You
Some cloud data is linked to your account when you sign in (for example: account ID, synced settings, soundboard items, entitlement state). This linking is used to provide account-based features and continuity across sessions/devices.
Linked data categories include contact info (name/email), user content, user ID, purchase history, and other usage data when collected for app functionality.
Diagnostic data (crash, performance, other diagnostic data) may be collected but is configured as not linked to your identity in App Store privacy disclosures.
On-Device vs Cloud Processing
On-Device
- Local settings and app preferences.
- Temporary audio recordings created during recording/transcription flows.
- Optional local fallback key storage.
Cloud (When Signed In or Feature Requires Backend)
- Authentication/session handling.
- Settings sync and soundboard metadata/storage.
- Entitlement verification and related backend checks.
- Speech processing requests routed through authenticated backend services.

Apple Services
StoreKit and related Apple platform services may process purchase-related data according to Apple’s policies.
Microphone Access
- SpeakTrue requests microphone permission for recording/transcription and speech conversion features.
- Microphone is used only when you actively start recording.
- You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings.
Data Retention
- Local data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app.
- Cloud-stored soundboard content remains until you delete it.
- Temporary local audio files are deleted by app flows after processing.
- Account-linked settings remain while your account is active unless deleted/reset.
Security
- Data in transit is sent over HTTPS.
- Access to cloud-backed features is tied to authenticated sessions.
- Optional BYOK stored server-side is encrypted at rest.
Your Choices and Rights
You can:
- Review and modify settings in-app.
- Delete local app data by uninstalling the app.
- Revoke permissions (for example, microphone) in iOS Settings.
