Speakasso Privacy Policy
In short
- No email, phone or social login is needed: a profile is created from a nickname.
- Your voice is used to describe the painting. The recording is turned into text and deleted from our server right after that.
- We show no ads, do not sell or share data with advertisers and use no third-party trackers. To improve the game we count ourselves which screens are opened and how rounds end — without your words, voice or advertising ids.
- You can delete your profile at any time in the game.
What we process and why
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Nickname, avatar, frame, settings, the phone's time zone | Show you to opponents and friends; count streak days by your calendar | While the profile exists |
| A random profile id and sign-in key (stored as a hash), recovery code | Recognise your profile, move it to another device | While the profile exists |
| Voice recording during a round | Recognise your description | Deleted from the server right after recognition |
| Description text, the picture made from it, scores and breakdown | Show the round result, history and collection | Text and picture: 30 days, then deleted; score and outcome stay in the history. A picture that became a work in your collection (your best attempt at an original) is kept while the profile exists and is deleted with it |
| The page of a round you shared: nickname, description text, the picture made from it, the original and the score | Made only when you tap “Share” on a result: its link goes into your message. The page is public — anyone with the link can open it, and search engines may find it (when the description is longer than a few words) | While the profile exists; deleted with it. We delete a single page on request at nik@funkymonkey.studio |
| Friends list, challenges | Play with friends | While the profile exists; a challenge lives up to 24 hours |
| Speakasso Plus purchase: Google Play purchase token, order id, subscription period | Verify the subscription and turn Plus on. We never receive card details — Google processes the payment | While the profile exists |
| Your reports (“Report a problem”) | Fix the problem | Until resolved, at most 12 months |
| Game events: which screens are opened and which buttons are tapped, the outcome and duration of a round, app errors, a random install id, screen size and language | See where players struggle and fix errors (our own statistics, no third-party services or ads) | Up to 400 days; when the profile is deleted they are unlinked from it and stay only as anonymous counts |
| Web version diagnostics: screen size, insets, browser type (not linked to a profile) | Fix layout on different phones | Up to 90 days |
| Email, if you left it on speakasso.com to hear when the game is on Google Play (plus the page’s language) | To write to you once that Speakasso is on Google Play. We send nothing else and share the address with no one | Until that email is sent, then deleted; 12 months at most. Deleted sooner on request |
| IP address | Abuse protection (rate limits) | Up to 1 hour; only a hash reaches the disk, never the address itself; no request logs are kept |
Database backups are made nightly and kept for 14 days, then deleted.
Who else processes data
- Replicate (USA) runs the models that recognise speech (ElevenLabs Scribe, OpenAI and Whisper as backups), prepare and compare descriptions (Google Gemini) and draw the picture (Black Forest Labs FLUX, OpenAI as a backup). It receives the voice recording, the description and the round's pictures — without your nickname or other profile data.
- Google Play — payment and management of the Speakasso Plus subscription under Google's terms.
- The hosting provider of the game server.
Data may be processed outside your country (including the USA). We send only what a round needs.
What other players see
An opponent sees your nickname, avatar, frame, your picture and score in the round. The rankings show your nickname, weekly points in your league group and collection points — you can hide your nickname in settings. If you invited a friend with your link, they count as invited after your first duel together. Friends see you in their friends list and can find you by nickname.
Deleting your profile and data
- In the game: Settings → Delete account. The profile, history, collection, friends, challenges and purchase records are deleted at once; in opponents' history you become “Deleted player”. Backups forget you within 14 days.
- No access to the game? Email nik@funkymonkey.studio with your profile's recovery code (Settings → Save progress). We delete within 30 days.
- Deleting the profile does not cancel a Google Play subscription — cancel it in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA)
We do not sell or “share” personal information as California law defines these terms, and we do not use it for advertising. You have the right to know what data we hold about you, get a copy, correct it or delete it — in the game settings or at nik@funkymonkey.studio. Using these rights never changes how the game treats you. Sensitive data (your voice) is used only to recognise your description and is deleted right away.
Children
The game is not intended for children under 13. If you learn that a child under 13 created a profile, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights and contact
You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction or deletion, or ask anything about your data: nik@funkymonkey.studio. Changes to this policy will be announced on this page with a new date.
