Privacy Policy

Introduction

Voira (“Voira”, “the App”, “we”, “us”) helps users practice English speaking through shadowing, pronunciation practice, vocabulary tracking, progress insights, and SpeakPlus premium access. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect or process, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

By using Voira, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Information We Collect or Process

Depending on how you use Voira, we may collect or process:

• Account information: email address and authentication/user ID if you create an account or sign in.
• Profile and progress data: lesson progress, completed lessons, streak, practice statistics, and saved vocabulary.
• Voice/audio recordings: only when you choose to record speech for pronunciation analysis.
• Pronunciation analysis data: scores, recognized words, weak words, and fluency / accuracy / pronunciation / completeness / prosody results.
• Purchase/subscription status: SpeakPlus entitlement status, product identifiers, and purchase state from Apple App Store, Google Play, and RevenueCat.
• Device/technical data: app version, basic diagnostic or error information, and network requests required to operate the service.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• provide speaking practice and lesson experiences;
• analyze pronunciation and generate feedback;
• show AI coach guidance and learning insights;
• save progress and vocabulary;
• manage SpeakPlus access and restore purchases;
• prevent abuse and rate-limit backend usage;
• improve reliability, performance, and security.

Voice Recordings and Pronunciation Analysis

Microphone access is requested only when you choose to record. Recorded audio is sent to the Voira backend for analysis. Voira may use Microsoft Azure Speech for speech recognition and pronunciation assessment. Where enabled by the backend, OpenAI may process your recorded audio for speech-to-text/transcription and may also provide AI-generated coaching feedback.

Audio recordings are processed for the purpose of generating pronunciation analysis and related feedback. Unless explicitly stated in the App, we do not use voice recordings to create a public profile or sell voice data.

Analysis results (such as scores and word-level feedback) may be shown in the App and associated with your practice history so you can review progress.

Third-Party Service Providers

We use service providers to operate Voira. These providers process data only as needed to provide app functionality:

• Supabase: authentication and database/storage where applicable.
• RevenueCat: subscription entitlement management.
• Apple App Store: payment and subscription processing on iOS.
• Google Play: payment and subscription processing on Android.
• Microsoft Azure Speech: speech recognition and pronunciation assessment.
• OpenAI: may process recorded audio for speech-to-text/transcription and may provide AI-generated coaching feedback, explanations, or learning guidance where enabled by the backend.
• Render: backend hosting for analysis and related APIs.

Each provider processes information under its own terms and privacy practices. We share only what is reasonably necessary to deliver Voira features.

Payments and Subscriptions

Subscription payments are handled by Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on the platform you use. Voira does not receive or store your credit or debit card numbers. You can manage or cancel your subscription from your App Store or Google Play account settings. SpeakPlus access is managed through RevenueCat and the relevant store entitlement status.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

We share or process data with service providers only to operate the App. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of Voira, our users, or others.

Data Retention

Local app data may remain on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. Account, progress, and purchase-related records may remain as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud or abuse, or maintain subscription access.

Audio analysis data is processed to provide results. Exact retention periods may vary depending on technical and operational needs; we do not claim a fixed permanent audio archive in this policy.

Data Deletion

You can delete local app data by uninstalling the App or using in-app deletion options where available. You can request account or data deletion by contacting ethemsincarbusiness@gmail.com. Please include the email address used for your Voira account.

Deleting app data does not automatically cancel an active SpeakPlus subscription. Subscriptions must be cancelled from App Store or Google Play account settings.

For more details, see our Data Deletion page.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Voira is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child provided personal information to us, please contact ethemsincarbusiness@gmail.com so we can take appropriate action.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of Voira after changes become effective means you acknowledge the updated policy.
