Privacy Policy

Fix Yo Yap records your voice to score how you speak. This page explains exactly what we record, where it goes, and how long we keep it.

1. Your microphone

Fix Yo Yap uses your microphone only while you are recording a round: from the moment you tap Start until the round ends, at most 45 seconds. It is never used in the background, and there is no listening outside a round. If you leave the app mid-recording, that take is discarded and never uploaded.

2. Your recordings

When a round finishes, the audio is uploaded to our private storage so it can be scored. Recordings are not public, are not shown to other users, and are not used for advertising. We do not sell your data.

3. The leaderboard

Fix Yo Yap has a leaderboard. If you have scored a round, your best score can be shown to other signed-in users on it, along with your display name and your profile picture. Your recordings and your transcripts are never shown to anyone else, your individual rounds are not shown outside the Compete matches described below, and nothing else from your profile appears.

You can turn your name off at any time in Settings. Your row then reads Anonymous Yapper with no picture, so your score is still on the board but nothing on it points at you. You can always see your own position either way.

Compete matches. In a Compete match, the other players in that match see your display name, your profile picture, and the score and delivery measurements of the one round you play in it. That includes matches with a stranger you were paired with through Find a stranger. They never hear your recording or see your transcript. If you have turned your name off in Settings, a stranger sees Anonymous Yapper with no picture instead; friends who joined your match with its code still see your name.

4. How long we keep audio

On the free plan and on Saver we delete your recording 7 days after the round. We keep it that long only so a failed transcription can be retried and so we can look into a score you think is wrong — nothing plays it back to you, and nothing else reads it.

On Premium we keep your recordings while your subscription is active, so you can play any round back from your history. If your Premium subscription ends, or you move from Premium to Saver, we delete them 30 days later. Deleting your account removes all of them immediately, on any plan.

What remains either way is the derived data: your score, the counts behind it, the transcript, and your streak. We keep it because that is what your history and personal bests are made of.

5. Who else processes your audio

To turn speech into text we send your recording to ElevenLabs (Scribe), our speech-recognition sub-processor, for the sole purpose of producing a transcript. The score itself is computed by our own service from that transcript. No AI model decides your number.

Our other processors are:

• Supabase: accounts, database, and file storage
• RevenueCat, with Apple or Google: subscriptions
• PostHog: product analytics
• Sentry: crash reports
• Expo, with Apple and Google: push notifications, if you allow them (a device token and the notification itself)
• Google AdMob: the optional ad in the app, described below
• Vercel Analytics: aggregate traffic on this website
• 8xSend: our emails. It receives your email address, account id, plan and country, and simple activity facts such as when you last played, your streak and your best score that week. Never your recordings or transcripts. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link.

6. Ads in the app

If you run out of free rounds in the app you can choose to watch one short ad to unlock one more round. That is the only place an ad appears, nothing shows you one unless you tap the button, and paid plans (Saver and Premium) never show ads. There are no ads on this website.

The ad is served by Google AdMob. We ask AdMob for non-personalised ads only, so it is not selected using a profile of your interests, and we never send it your recordings, your transcripts, your scores or your email. AdMob receives the technical data it needs to serve and measure an ad, which is described in Google’s own privacy policy.

7. Payments

Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google. We never see or store your card details. We only receive which plan you are on (Saver or Premium, and whether it is billed weekly, monthly or yearly) and whether your subscription is active.

So that we can recognise a subscription as yours when we look into a billing problem, we give RevenueCat your email address and your display name alongside your account id. Nothing else about your account goes to it, and it is never used to advertise to you.

8. Personalisation and analytics

When you set up the app we ask what you want to get better at and which topic categories you like. We store those answers with your account and use them only to personalise the app for you. They never change your score.

We record product events like a round started, a round scored, or a paywall seen, so we can tell whether Fix Yo Yap is working. They are tied to your account id, not to the content of what you said.

We also run product experiments. Your account may be randomly assigned a variant of some screens or offers, for example a different version of the upgrade screen. Which variant you were given is recorded with your account and in our analytics, so we can compare how the versions perform. It never changes your score.

Offers. Some discounts are tied to your account: one you earn by inviting a friend, a mystery gift some new accounts are offered, and one you can win in the Beat the Fast Talker game. We record which offer you were given, when, and whether you used it, so the right price is shown to you and an offer cannot be used twice. If you invite a friend, you see how many friends joined and finished setting up, not who they are.

The game. When you open the game from the app, the app creates a one-time ticket that is linked to your account and expires after 30 minutes. If you win, the game page sends our server only that ticket and how long you played, and we record the win against your account. The ticket travels in the part of the link that browsers do not send to servers, the page removes it from the address bar before anything else runs, and it is never sent to our analytics. On this website the game records only that a round was played and how it ended, which is not linked to your account.

9. Deleting your data

You can delete your account in the app under Settings, or from our account deletion page if you have already uninstalled. Deleting it removes your profile, rounds, scores, stats, and any audio still within the retention window. It cannot be undone.

10. Children

Fix Yo Yap is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
