Data collected
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address and password (stored encrypted) | Create your account, sign you in, reset your password |
| Username | Identify you in the app |

Legal basis: performance of the service you request by creating an account or subscribing (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
What we don't do
- No advertising, no ad trackers.
- No third-party analytics.
- No selling or sharing of your data for commercial purposes.
- No access to your camera, contacts or location.
Microphone and reading aloud
The microphone is used only when you start reading a page aloud, and only while it is active. Your voice is turned into text by your phone's speech recognition service (Google on Android, Apple on iOS), which may process it on its servers under its own privacy policy. Taleway only receives the recognized text, uses it on your phone to compare your reading with the page, and keeps neither the recording nor the text.
Processors
- Supabase: database hosting and authentication.
- RevenueCat (United States): subscription management. Receives your account's technical identifier and your purchase history, never your email or reading data.
- Google Play: subscription payments, under Google's privacy policy.
Data may be transferred outside the European Union; such transfers are covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Retention
Your data is kept as long as your account exists. When the account is deleted, it is erased within 30 days at most. Purchase history may be kept longer by Google Play and RevenueCat to meet their accounting and legal obligations.
Your rights
You can access, correct or erase your data, object to its processing or request its portability by writing to taleway.app@gmail.com. To delete your account, see this page. You can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority, such as the CNIL in France (cnil.fr).
Security
Communication between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). Each user can only access their own account's data.
Changes
This policy may change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version. If the translations differ, the French version prevails.
