Who we are
SpeakRise (“we”) operates the practice application at speakrise.tech. For data protection purposes we are the controller of the data described below. You can reach us at info@speakrise.tech.
What we collect
Account information
- Your name and email address.
- Your password, stored only as a bcrypt hash. We never store it in a readable form and cannot recover it for you.
Your practice profile
- Native language, self-declared English level, preferred persona accent, feedback language.
- Your stated goal and job title, if you fill them in. These are free text that you choose — whatever you write there, we store.
Your practice sessions
- Audio recordings of your voice. Every turn you record is stored, not only transcribed. We are explicit about this because it is the most sensitive thing here.
- The text transcript of what you said, produced from that audio.
- The context you write when you create a session — for an interview, this is often a real job description you paste in.
- The persona’s replies, as text and as synthesized audio.
- Your evaluations: scores, written analysis, and the PDF report generated from them.
Credits and technical records
- A ledger of every credit added to or spent from your balance.
- The IP address of sign-up attempts, kept for a short window purely to stop automated abuse of the free-credit offer.
- Server logs, which may contain technical information about requests.
What we do not do
We think the absences matter as much as the list above:
- No cookies. The app keeps your sign-in token in your browser’s local storage. There is nothing to consent to, which is why you have never seen a cookie banner here.
- No advertising, no ad networks, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics.
- We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the processors listed below.
- We do not use your recordings or transcripts to train AI models, and our processors are engaged on terms that do not permit them to either.
Why we process it
- To run the product you asked for — hold the conversation, transcribe your speech, produce your evaluation, show your progress over time. This is performance of our contract with you.
- To keep the service working and honest — preventing abuse of free credits, keeping an accurate credit ledger, diagnosing failures. This is our legitimate interest.
- To comply with the law where we are required to keep records.
Who processes your data
We use a small number of processors, and each one only sees what it needs:
- Anthropic — receives your session transcript and context to generate the persona’s replies and your evaluation. It does not receive your audio.
- Microsoft Azure — receives your audio for speech-to-text, generates the persona’s voice, and hosts the application, its database and its file storage.
Both process data on servers that may be outside your country. Where that involves an international transfer, it is covered by the standard contractual protections those providers offer.
How long we keep it
We keep your account, sessions, recordings and evaluations for as long as your account exists, so that your history and your progress chart remain meaningful. Sign-up IP records are deleted automatically within hours.
We do not currently delete old recordings on a schedule. If you want yours gone before you close your account, ask us and we will remove them.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what we hold about you, and give you a copy;
- correct anything that is wrong — your name and profile you can also edit yourself at any time;
- delete your account and everything attached to it, including every recording;
- stop processing your data, or object to it.
To delete your account, email info@speakrise.tech from the address you signed up with. We handle this by hand today, so allow us a few days; there is no self-service delete button in the app yet, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Deletion is permanent and includes your recordings, transcripts and evaluations.
If you are in Brazil, these rights come from the LGPD; if you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, from the GDPR. Either way you may complain to your local data protection authority — in Brazil, the ANPD.
Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Recordings and reports are held in private storage that is not publicly addressable, and the application requires an authenticated session to return any of it to you. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise.
Children
SpeakRise is not intended for children under 13, and if you are under 18 you should only use it with a parent or guardian’s permission. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if you believe we have, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change is significant — new processors, a new purpose, a shorter or longer retention — we will tell account holders by email rather than quietly editing the page.
