Our Commitment to Privacy
SpeakNow is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe you should not have to trade your privacy to improve your English. Here is exactly how we handle your data.
What Data We Collect
We collect limited information to improve our website and support advertising. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use SpeakNow.
- No accounts required — We do not ask for your name, email address, or other personal information to access the website.
- Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, device type, browser, approximate geographic location, and other aggregated usage statistics. This information helps us understand website performance and improve the user experience.
- Google Ads — We use Google Ads and Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to personalize ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. For more information about how Google uses data, please visit:https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Speech processing — Speech recognition and voice processing happen locally in your browser using the Web Speech API. Your voice recordings are not stored or transmitted to our servers.
- Server logs — While we do not maintain user accounts or collect personal information, our hosting provider may automatically retain standard technical server logs (such as IP addresses, browser information, and request timestamps) for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.
Local Storage
The only data stored on your device is a single localStorage entry for your cookie consent preference. This is not a cookie — it is a simple flag that prevents the cookie banner from showing on every visit. You can clear it anytime through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
SpeakNow is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP address, request timestamp, page URL) as part of their normal hosting operations. These logs are retained per Vercel's standard practices and are not accessible to us.
Children's Privacy
SpeakNow does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Since we collect no data at all, there is no risk of inadvertent collection.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Since we collect no data, changes are likely to be rare and minimal.
