1. Information we collect
Depending on how you use Speako, we may collect:
- Account information — email address, password (stored as a secure hash), and optional display name when you register.
- Profile preferences — settings such as preferred voice and speech speed.
- Learning content you provide — Chinese text, related pinyin, notes, folders, and favorite phrases you save in the app.
- Audio — synthesized speech we generate for you, and pronunciation recordings you choose to create and save. Audio files may be stored with a cloud object-storage provider acting on our behalf.
- Technical data — basic server logs (such as IP address, timestamps, and request metadata) needed to operate, secure, and debug the Service.
We process the text you submit to generate speech and, when you use translation features, to return translations. We do not require access to your device contacts, photos, or microphone beyond what you grant for pronunciation practice.
2. How we use information
We use information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve Speako (accounts, TTS, sync, favorites);
- Authenticate you and protect against abuse or unauthorized access;
- Respond to support requests and communicate about the Service;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your content to train third-party advertising models.
3. How we share information
We may share information with:
- Service providers that host infrastructure, databases, or object storage, solely to operate Speako under our instructions;
- Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the Service;
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy’s protections.
4. Retention
We retain account and content data for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide the Service. You may delete favorites, folders, or recordings in the app. You may request account deletion at speako.run.place/delete-account; we will delete or anonymize personal data except where we must retain limited records for security, legal, or operational reasons.
5. Security
We use industry-standard measures such as hashed passwords, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please use a strong, unique password.
6. Children
Speako is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
7. International processing
We may process and store information on servers in locations outside your country of residence. By using Speako, you understand that your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data protection laws.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal data, or to object to certain processing. To request account deletion, use speako.run.place/delete-account. For other rights requests, email contact@honex.tech. We may need to verify your request.
9. Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date. Continued use of Speako after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
