Privacy Policy

The website is a simple set of pages that point you to the app. It does not ask you to sign in and does not run advertising trackers. If we use privacy-respecting analytics to count visits, it is aggregated and cannot identify you.

When you record a line, the app captures that short audio clip and a text transcript so it can score your pronunciation. Audio is used to produce your result and is not sold or used to build a voice profile of you.

Where that audio is graded depends on what you are doing. Your BritScan recordings are sent over an encrypted connection to our scoring service, which grades the accent using a third-party multimodal audio model (Google Gemini, accessed through Vercel's AI Gateway). Your everyday practice drills and roleplay turns are graded on your device and those recordings are not sent anywhere.

Our scoring service does not store your scan recordings: the audio is passed to the model, the score comes back, and nothing is written to disk. We cannot make promises on behalf of the model provider beyond their own published terms, which are linked from their policies rather than restated here.

The app stores your scores and progress so you can track improvement over time. If you create an account, we hold the details you give us, such as an email address, to keep your progress on your device and across sign ins.

To understand where the app confuses people, we collect product usage events (which screens you visit and taps on app controls) and may record short visual replays of app screens. Replays capture our own interface only: anything you type is masked, and your microphone audio is never part of a replay or an analytics event.

We use your data to run the product: to score your accent, show your progress, improve the coaching, and keep the service working. We do not sell your personal data to anyone.

You control the microphone permission and can withdraw it at any time in your device settings. You can ask us to export or delete the data tied to your account by writing to britspeech@pm.me.

We keep personal data only as long as your account is active or as the law requires, and we protect it with reasonable technical and organisational measures.

BritSpeech is intended for adults and older teenagers working on their English. It is not directed at children under 13.

We will post any changes to this policy on this page and update the date above. Questions are welcome at britspeech@pm.me.
