Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SunSea Apps (“we”, “our”, “us”) handles information in our apps (including Speak2Work and other titles) and on sunseaapps.com.

Summary

We collect the minimum data needed to operate and improve the apps. We do not sell personal data and we do not run third‑party advertising SDKs. Voice features are optional; microphone audio is used solely to power speaking practice.

What we collect

• App activity & diagnostics — basic usage events, performance metrics, and crash reports to keep the app reliable.
• Device information — device model, OS version, language/locale, and anonymous identifiers needed for analytics and error diagnostics.
• Microphone audio (optional) — if you use speaking practice, your voice input is processed to provide feedback on clarity and confidence. By default, recordings are processed for scoring and then discarded; we do not access your media outside the app’s sandbox.
• Support messages — if you email us, we’ll receive your email address and any content you send.

How we use data

• Provide core features (e.g., speaking feedback, progress tracking).
• Fix bugs, measure reliability, and guide product improvements.
• Meet legal, security, and anti‑fraud requirements of app stores.

On‑device processing & storage

Where feasible, speech processing and lesson progress are handled on‑device. If a cloud service is temporarily used for scoring or text‑to‑speech, we transmit only what is necessary to deliver the feature and do not store raw audio longer than needed to process the request.

Third‑party services

We may use platform services such as Google Play (billing, updates) and optional analytics/crash reporting (e.g., Google/Firebase). These providers process limited data under their own privacy terms.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We do not share data for third‑party advertising. We may share data only to comply with law, to protect users, or to operate our services (e.g., cloud hosting, crash diagnostics) under contracts that limit use.

Retention

Diagnostics and analytics are retained only as long as necessary for the purposes above, after which they are aggregated or deleted. Temporary audio used for scoring is not kept beyond processing unless you explicitly save it in the app.

Your choices

• You can revoke microphone permission at any time in system settings.
• You can request data deletion by emailing [email protected] from the address used in the app, and we will delete analytics records that are reasonably linkable to your device or account.

Children

Our apps are designed for learners aged 13+ and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

International

We operate from Canada. Data may be processed in Canada, the United States, or other regions where our service providers operate, with appropriate safeguards.

Updates

We may revise this Policy as we ship new features or to reflect legal changes. We’ll update the “Effective” date above and, when material, show an in‑app notice.
