Privacy policy

Your reflections are yours.

Calm Speech asks people to write and speak about some of the most personal parts of their lives. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we will never do with it.

Last updated August 2026 · Applies to calmspeech.com and the Calm Speech app

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Private by default

Journal entries and voice notes are yours. They are never scored or sold, and our team doesn’t review them. On Premium, Aiden reads them to write your reflections and weekly review.

Never sold

No selling, no sharing with data brokers, no ad-tech profiling anywhere.

Multi-jurisdiction

Written to meet UK GDPR, EU GDPR, India’s DPDP Act and Singapore’s PDPA.

What we collect

The website itself doesn’t ask for personal information — there are no sign-up forms on it. When you use the app, we collect only what is needed to run it.

App account data

Email address and authentication details for your account.

Content you create

Journal entries and voice notes, practice sessions, the effort activity you log, and the few short facts Aiden remembers about you — never what you said, and you can delete any of them.

Technical data

Basic, aggregated analytics about site and app usage — never sold, and never used to build advertising profiles.

Country, for pricing

The website notes which country you’re browsing from — just the two-letter country code, never your IP address or anything finer — in a cookie that ends when you close your browser. It’s used only to show the Premium price for your country.

Why we collect it

To run the product. Nothing more. Content you create exists so the app can show it back to you; effort activity exists so your history is accurate.

We do not use your reflections or recordings to train models. Practice sessions are analysed only to give you your own feedback — neutral counts and speaking rate — and a fluency score appears only if you switch it on.

Where it is stored and for how long

Data is stored with reputable cloud providers under standard contractual protections, encrypted in transit and at rest. App content is kept while your account exists and deleted when you delete it.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. In the app, deletion is available directly to you rather than through a support queue.

Access and portability

Request an export of everything associated with your account.

Correction

Ask us to fix anything inaccurate.

Deletion

Delete your reflections individually, or your whole account at once.

Withdraw consent

Unsubscribe from any email with one click.

Multi-jurisdiction position

Calm Speech is available across the UK, EU, India and Singapore. We apply the strictest applicable standard rather than the local minimum: UK GDPR and EU GDPR for lawful basis, rights and transfers; India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act for notice and consent; Singapore’s PDPA for consent, purpose limitation and protection obligations.

What we will never do

Some commitments are easier to state as absolutes.

Sell your data

Not to advertisers, not to insurers, not to anyone.

Profile you for advertising

There is no ad-tech in Calm Speech.

Score you without asking

A fluency score exists only if you switch it on, and it’s never shown to anyone but you.

Share with employers, schools or parents

Your content is visible to you alone.

Contact and complaints

Email privacy@calmspeech.com with any request or concern and we will respond within thirty days, usually much sooner. If you are in the UK or EU you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

This policy will be reviewed by counsel and updated as the app develops. Material changes will be announced in the app and by email, not slipped in quietly.
