Data and Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [08/09/2023]

Thank you for using the Phonology App to Augment Speech Therapy (the “App”), provided by Austin Speech Labs (“ASL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Data and Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide and the data generated or processed through your use of the App. By using the App, you consent to the practices outlined in this Policy.

  1. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information or data from users through the App. The App operates entirely on your device and does not communicate with external servers or cloud storage. The App does not access your device’s camera, microphone, or other personal data unless explicitly authorized by you for its intended functionality.

  1. User-Generated Data

The App may generate and store data locally on your device to enhance its functionality. This may include progress tracking, preferences, and other user-generated content. This data remains on your device and is not shared with us or any third parties.

  1. User-Initiated Backups

The App does not automatically sync or upload data to any cloud servers. However, you have the option to initiate backups of your app data through your device’s backup features, such as device backups to cloud services like iCloud. These backups are solely under your control, and ASL does not have access to or control over the data stored in these backups.

  1. Support Requests

If you initiate a support request through the App, we may collect certain information to assist in resolving your issue. This information may include the details you provide in the support request form and additional information such as the App version and enabled premium levels. This information is used solely by the ASL support team to assist you with your specific issue and provide the information you request. Your name and email are not shared with anyone outside the ASL support team responsible for the App.

  1. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the data generated and processed within the App. The data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to external servers, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. It is important to ensure your device’s security through appropriate measures, such as using strong passwords and keeping your device updated.

  1. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can promptly remove such information.

  1. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Data and Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes through a notice within the App or by other means.
