Privacy Policy
Short version: Prosody collects your name and email when you sign in, and syncs your in-app progress to our servers. Speech is processed on your device and is never stored. We don't sell your data. That's the gist.
About Prosody
Prosody is an iOS application for real-time conversation practice. This Privacy Policy explains how Prosody ("we," "us," or "our"), operated by Lucas Whittle, collects, uses, and protects information about users ("you") of the Prosody iOS application.
By using Prosody, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account information: When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email address from those services. We use this to identify your account.
- Usage statistics: We sync your in-app progress to our servers, including XP points, session history, conversation scores, streak counts, and level data. This is used to persist your progress across devices.
- Leaderboard profile: If you participate in the public leaderboard, your chosen username, level, and XP are visible to other Prosody users.
Speech and Audio
Prosody uses your device's microphone during conversation practice sessions. Speech audio is not stored or transmitted to our servers.
Speech recognition is processed on your device using Apple's on-device speech recognition APIs. We do not receive, store, or analyze the audio from your conversations.
Conversation text generated during sessions may be temporarily processed to generate your score and feedback. This processing occurs within the session and is not retained as identifiable user data.
How We Use Your Information
- To authenticate your account and maintain your session
- To sync your progress and statistics across your devices
- To display your profile on the public leaderboard if you opt in
- To calculate and display your scores and streaks
- To improve the Prosody app and practice experience
We do not use your information for advertising or sell it to third parties.
Data Storage
Your account information and usage statistics are stored on servers provided by Supabase, a third-party database service. Supabase stores data securely and in compliance with applicable data protection standards.
Subscriptions and billing are managed through Apple's App Store and RevenueCat. We do not store payment information. Refer to Apple's Privacy Policy and RevenueCat's Privacy Policy for information about how they handle billing data.
Leaderboard and Public Profiles
If you choose to participate in the Prosody leaderboard, your username, level, and XP total will be visible to other Prosody users within the app. Your email address and full name are never displayed publicly.
You can opt out of the leaderboard in Settings at any time.
