SpeechGymPrivacy policy
- SpeechGym records video only when you press Start, and only while you practise.
- Your videos, scores and resume stay on your phone. The current version doesn't send them to us or anyone else.
- We don't show ads, use advertising trackers, or sell your data.
- You can delete any video in the app, and uninstalling removes everything.
Who we are
SpeechGym is made by Faberlume Labs, India. In this policy, "we" means Faberlume Labs and "you" means the person using the app. Contact us at faberlumelabs@gmail.com.
Who the app is for
SpeechGym is a speaking-practice app for adults (18 and over). It helps you practise speaking clearly and confidently, prepare for job interviews and practise for civil-services interview boards.
Camera and microphone
SpeechGym asks for camera and microphone access so you can record practice sessions. They are used only while you are on a recording screen and have started a recording (or during the short countdown just before it). The app never records in the background.
Data kept only on your phone
The following is stored in SpeechGym's private storage on your phone. The current version of the app does not send any of it to us or to anyone else:
- Practice videos (video and sound). Only the newest video for each exercise is kept; older ones are deleted automatically.
- Practice measurements worked out on your phone while you record: for example how often you looked at the camera, head steadiness, facial expressiveness, pauses and voice volume. These are numbers calculated from the camera and microphone; the app does not keep separate photos of your face and does not use them to identify you.
- Your progress: scores, which drills you've done, and your practice streak.
- Interview setup, if you use it: your resume text (read from a PDF on your phone or pasted in), job title and job description. The app removes email addresses, phone numbers, addresses and links before showing what an AI interviewer would see.
- Settings, such as your reminder time.
SpeechGym turns off Android's automatic cloud backup for its data, so these files are not copied to your Google account backup.
Reminders
If you allow notifications, SpeechGym shows practice reminders scheduled on your phone. Deciding whether to remind you uses only your practice history on the phone; nothing is sent to us.
AI coaching and interviews (coming later)
We plan to add optional AI features: feedback on what you said (filler words, pace, structure), AI mock job interviews and civil-services board practice. These would need to send some data to online services:
| What would be sent | Why |
|---|---|
| The sound of a recording you choose (not the video) | To turn your speech into text (speech-to-text by Deepgram) |
| The text of what you said, and your practice measurements | To write coaching feedback (AI by Anthropic, maker of Claude) |
| Your resume text with contact details removed, or your interview form, and the job details | To plan interview questions and feedback |
| A random app ID | To limit daily use and prevent abuse, without your name or email |
These features are not active in the current version. Before they are switched on, we will update this policy and the app will ask for your permission. Video will never leave your phone.
What we don't do
- We don't show ads or use advertising trackers.
- We don't sell, rent or share your data for marketing.
- We don't use your face or voice to identify you, and we don't build profiles about you.
Who processes the data
In the current version, your practice data is processed only on your phone. The app is distributed through Google Play, which handles downloads and updates under Google's own privacy policy. We may disclose data if the law requires it, but we hold no copy of your practice data.
How long we keep it
Data stays on your phone until you delete it or uninstall the app. Only the newest video per exercise is kept.
Your choices and rights
- Delete a video: after a recording, on the results screen, or after watching it, tap Delete video. Your scores are kept.
- Delete your resume: in AI Mock Interview, tap Delete next to your resume.
- Delete everything: uninstall SpeechGym, or go to Android Settings → Apps → SpeechGym → Storage → Clear storage.
- Notifications: turn reminders off in the app's Settings, or block notifications in Android settings.
- Ask us: questions, requests or complaints can be sent to faberlumelabs@gmail.com. We aim to reply within 30 days.
We handle personal data in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Testing SpeechGym
If you join a SpeechGym test, we use the email address you give us only to add your Google account to the test on Google Play and to email you about the test. We delete it within 6 months of the test ending.
Security
Your practice data is kept in SpeechGym's private storage, which other apps can't read. Keep your phone locked with a PIN or fingerprint so others can't open your recordings.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects what data leaves your phone, the app will ask for your permission first.
