Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how LineSpeak, operated by Pera Pera, handles information when you use the language-practice service or choose to connect a third-party platform.
1. Information you provide
- Account information: such as your email address and authentication records when you create an account.
- Learner settings: such as target language, support language, level, and learning goal.
- Practice content: scripts, phrases, translations, notes, files, and other material you choose to save or process.
- Support information: details you submit through feedback or support channels.
2. Recordings and media
Speaking recordings are used to provide transcription and feedback. LineSpeak does not retain the audio file after that processing. Vocab retrieval history may store the drill type, whether the target expression was used, and your self-rating, but not the recording or transcript.
Record & Share uses your camera and microphone on your device. Recorded videos are processed locally in your browser and saved to your device; LineSpeak does not upload or store those recorded videos unless you later choose a feature that explicitly transfers a selected video to a connected service.
3. Scripts and Private Mode
Saved scripts may sync to your account. If you enable Private Mode, supported script content is encrypted in your browser with your passphrase before it is saved. LineSpeak cannot recover an encrypted script if you lose that passphrase.
4. TikTok and other connected platforms
If you choose to connect TikTok or another social platform, LineSpeak may process:
- the platform account identifier and basic account information returned during authorization;
- authorization and refresh tokens needed to maintain the connection;
- the video or other media you explicitly select for transfer;
- the caption, privacy choice, and publishing options you approve where supported; and
- upload, processing, draft, publication, and error-status identifiers returned by the platform.
We use this information only to provide the connection and publishing workflow you request, protect against duplicate uploads, troubleshoot failures, and maintain a publication record. TikTok and other connected services process information under their own privacy policies. You can revoke platform authorization in that platform’s settings. Revoking access stops future API access but does not automatically delete content already uploaded or published there.
5. Analytics and service data
LineSpeak uses Google Analytics and first-party product analytics to understand feature use and reliability. Analytics may include page visits, an account identifier, language codes, fixed feature labels, action counts, and broad score or duration ranges. We do not send vocabulary searches, scripts, phrases, translations, notes, transcripts, recordings, or email addresses as analytics event properties.
Before account creation, LineSpeak may measure a small set of funnel milestones using a salted server-side hash of a random device identifier. Those records are retained for a limited period.
6. Third-party embeds
When you request Hear it in real life, LineSpeak loads a YouGlish player that uses YouTube services. YouGlish, YouTube, and Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details and may use cookies. The player is not loaded until you request it. See the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
7. Why we use information
We use information to provide and secure LineSpeak, sync learner progress, perform requested language and media processing, operate approved platform connections, prevent abuse and duplicate actions, understand reliability, respond to support requests, and meet legal obligations.
8. Sharing
Information may be processed by service providers that support authentication, hosting, analytics, transcription, text-to-speech, translation, and features you deliberately connect. We also may disclose information where required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, and service integrity. We do not publish your content to a social platform unless you initiate or approve that action.
9. Retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including security, audit, and legal requirements. Retention varies by data type and connected platform. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
10. Your choices and deletion requests
You can edit learner settings, delete scripts in Settings, disable Private Mode, disconnect third-party platforms through their authorization settings, and stop using LineSpeak. To request deletion of your LineSpeak account or associated stored information, use the in-app feedback option or email linespeakapp@gmail.com from the address associated with your account. We may need to verify the request before acting on it.
11. Children
LineSpeak is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum age required in their country, without appropriate authorization from a parent, guardian, school, or other responsible organization.
12. International processing
LineSpeak and its service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
13. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date above identifies the current version. Privacy questions or requests can be sent through the feedback option inside LineSpeak or by email to linespeakapp@gmail.com.
Developer-platform notice: Connecting TikTok is optional. LineSpeak requests only the permissions needed for the feature you choose, and approval of one upload does not authorize unrelated future uploads.
