Privacy Policy
This policy describes how the Claura mobile app (“Claura”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use the app. Claura is an English speaking practice app. It is not designed for children.
Questions: hello@claura.app.
1. No account
Claura does not currently ask you to create an account, sign in with Google, or give us an email address inside the app. Setup answers and practice history live on your device unless a feature below says otherwise.
2. Information we process
Profile you enter
During setup and in Profile you may enter a display name, native language, age range, gender (optional), job or field, goals, interests, speaking level, tutor style, speaking pace, and reminder preference. We use this on the device to personalize practice. When you start a conversation, a compact copy of those answers is sent to our backend so the AI can reply in a relevant way. Gender is omitted if you chose to keep it private.
Voice audio
Talk and pronunciation features need the microphone. When you record, the app sends that audio to our backend so we can:
- transcribe what you said (speech-to-text)
- score pronunciation
- generate the tutor’s spoken reply (text-to-speech)
- produce session feedback (pronunciation, fluency, grammar)
Claura servers do not keep call recordings after processing. Audio is forwarded to speech and AI providers for that request, then discarded on our side. A copy of recent session audio stays on your device only so you can replay History (about the newest 30 talk sessions; older audio is removed, transcripts may remain).
Transcripts and feedback
Transcripts, scores, grammar notes, and word-practice items are stored on your device so History, Progress, and pronunciation practice work offline after a session. During a session, the current conversation (and related audio) is sent to our backend and to the providers listed below so the tutor can respond and so we can build feedback.
Usage counters
The app stores local daily counters (for example, free talks and pronunciation words used today) so the free tier can be applied on the device.
Purchases
If you subscribe, Google Play or the App Store handles payment. RevenueCat receives store purchase tokens and an app-generated identifier so the app can unlock Premium. We do not receive your full card number.
Notifications
Optional daily reminders are scheduled on the device. We do not send marketing push notifications from a Claura server today.
Diagnostics
This build does not include Firebase Crashlytics, analytics, or advertising SDKs. If we add them later, we will update this policy and Play Data safety before shipping that binary.
3. Why we use it
- Provide conversations, scoring, and feedback you asked for
- Personalize prompts from your setup answers
- Remember recent practice on the device
- Enforce free-tier limits and unlock Premium after a valid purchase
- Respond to support email if you contact us
We do not sell your personal information. We do not show ads in the app.
4. Where processing happens
| Place | What stays there |
|---|---|
| Your device | Profile, transcripts, word bank, quotas, reminder settings, recent session audio |
| Claura backend | Audio and conversation context for the active request only; we do not retain call recordings after processing |
| Speech / AI providers | Audio and text needed to transcribe, speak, score pronunciation, and generate tutor replies and evaluations |
| Stores / RevenueCat | Subscription status and purchase tokens |
| This website (Cloudflare Pages) | Standard request logs Cloudflare may keep for hosting and security |
5. Third parties
We use processors to run the product. They receive only what that feature needs:
- Microsoft Azure Speech — speech recognition, pronunciation assessment, and spoken tutor audio
- OpenAI and/or Azure OpenAI — tutor replies, hints, and session evaluation text
- RevenueCat — subscription entitlement
- Google Play Billing / Apple In-App Purchase — charging and managing the subscription
- Cloudflare — hosting this website
Those companies process data under their own terms and privacy policies. Audio sent for recognition or scoring is used to provide that request. Do not treat Claura as a private journal for secrets you would not send to a speech or AI vendor.
6. Retention and deletion
On-device data remains until you clear app storage or uninstall. Uninstalling Claura deletes the local profile, transcripts, and saved audio on that device.
Because there is no Claura account, we do not keep a cloud copy of your conversations after processing. If you emailed us, we keep that thread long enough to help you, then delete it when it is no longer needed.
To request help deleting information you sent by email, write to hello@claura.app.
7. Your choices
- Skip or edit Profile fields in the app
- Deny microphone permission (Talk and pronunciation will not work)
- Turn off daily reminders in Profile or system settings
- Cancel Premium in Google Play or the App Store (see Terms)
- Uninstall the app to remove local data
8. Children
Claura is for users 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child used the app, contact us and we will help you remove what we can. If you are 16 or 17, a parent or guardian should manage Play / App Store purchases.
9. International processing
Providers may process data in the United States or other countries. If you use Claura, you understand that voice and profile context leave your device to generate a reply.
10. Changes
We will post updates on this page and change the “Last updated” date. If we add analytics, crash reporting, or accounts, we will describe that here before it ships.
