Privacy Policy — SpeakNWin

Last updated 5 October 2026

SpeakNWin helps you practise public speaking. It records you, times you, and analyses your speech so you can review it.

The short version: your recordings stay on your device. They are not uploaded to us, because there is no “us” to upload them to — SpeakNWin has no servers.

What SpeakNWin records

Audio and video recordings. When you start a practice speech, SpeakNWin records audio or video, depending on the mode you choose. These files are stored in the app’s private storage on your device.

Transcripts and measurements. After a speech, you can ask SpeakNWin to transcribe and analyse it. This produces a text transcript, timing and pacing figures, and notes about delivery.

Your notes and settings. Self-ratings, written reflections, goals, custom topics, and the words you ask the app to watch for.

We do not collect analytics, usage statistics, advertising identifiers, device identifiers, or location data. There is no tracking of any kind.

Where it goes

On your device, by default

Recordings, transcripts, measurements, and notes are stored on your iPhone or iPad. Transcription runs entirely on the device using Apple’s on-device speech recognition — your audio is not sent anywhere to be transcribed.

Written coaching, when available, is produced by Apple Intelligence running on your device. Nothing leaves the device for it.

iCloud, if you turn it on

If you enable “Back up to iCloud” in Settings, your practice history — transcripts, measurements, coaching, notes, goals, custom topics, and your account details if you have signed in — syncs to your own iCloud account so it appears on your other devices and survives losing your phone.

This uses Apple’s CloudKit private database. The data lives in your iCloud account, under your Apple ID, governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy. We cannot see it, and neither can anyone else. Audio and video recordings are not included: they stay on the device where they were made. You can turn this off at any time in Settings.

Separately, if your device itself is backed up — to iCloud or to a computer — that backup is made by Apple’s system and may include the app’s data, as it does for any app.

Anthropic, only if you choose it and supply your own key

SpeakNWin can optionally send a speech to Anthropic’s Claude API for more detailed written feedback. This only happens if you create your own Anthropic API key, enter it in Settings, and explicitly tap “Deeper feedback from Claude” on a particular speech.

When you do, that speech’s topic, its text transcript, and its numerical measurements are sent to Anthropic. Your audio and video are never sent. The request is billed to your own Anthropic account. Anthropic’s handling of that data is governed by their Privacy Policy and Commercial Terms.

Your API key is stored in your device’s Keychain and is never transmitted anywhere except to Anthropic, to authenticate your own requests. If you never add a key, no data ever leaves your device for this purpose.

Apple Watch

The SpeakNWin watch app shows your speaking timer and taps your wrist at each signal. Your iPhone and Apple Watch exchange only the speech format, its start time, and start and stop requests, between your own paired devices. The watch records nothing, and nothing from it is sent to us or anyone else.

Sharing and importing

You can share a written summary of a speech, or the recording itself, using the standard iOS share sheet. Nothing is shared unless you choose where it goes. You can also import a recording from Files or Photos; SpeakNWin receives only the file you pick, and does not need access to the rest of your photo library.

Contacting support

“Contact support” in Settings opens a draft email in your own mail app, pre-filled with the app version, build number, iOS version, and device model to help diagnose problems. You see the whole message before sending, and nothing is sent unless you send it.

Your account, if you create one

SpeakNWin works fully without an account. If you choose to sign in with Apple, the app stores, on your device, the account identifier Apple provides, your email address — which you may hide, in which case Apple provides a relay address rather than your real one — your name if you choose to share it, and the date you signed in. If iCloud backup is on, these details sync to your own iCloud account with the rest of your history.

This is used to identify your account and, in future, to manage a subscription. It is not used for marketing, and it is not shared with anyone.

Deleting your account. Settings → Account → Delete account removes your account and all your speeches — recordings, transcripts, measurements, coaching, and notes — from the device, permanently and immediately. If iCloud backup is on, the synced copies are removed from your iCloud the next time the device syncs. Your goals, custom topics, and settings remain until you delete the app. You do not need to contact us.

Permissions

Microphone — to record your speeches. Requested when you first record.

Camera — to record video, if you use video mode. Requested when you first record video.

Speech recognition — transcription uses Apple’s on-device speech recognition and needs no separate permission.

Notifications — only if you turn on practice reminders. Reminders are scheduled on your device; nothing is sent from a server.

Every permission is requested at the moment it is first needed, and the app works without any of them beyond the microphone.

Children

SpeakNWin is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Retention

You control retention. Settings lets you keep recordings indefinitely, or delete them automatically after 7, 30, or 90 days. Automatic deletion removes the recording file only; the speech’s transcript, measurements, and notes stay so your progress history remains. Deleting a speech deletes everything belonging to it. Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted here with a new date, and significant changes will be noted in the app’s release notes.
