Privacy policy
Pratar is an app for practising spoken Swedish: you speak, and it transcribes, corrects and explains what you said. This policy explains what data Pratar collects, why, who processes it on our behalf, and how you can delete it. Pratar doesn't show ads, doesn't sell your data and doesn't use your data to track you across other apps or websites.
Pratar is provided by KGW Software AB (“we”), which is responsible for your data. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Account: your name, email address and account identifier from the sign-in provider (Google or Apple) | To create your account, sign you in and keep your practice history yours. |
| Voice recordings of your answers, read-aloud sentences and conversation turns | To transcribe what you said, assess your pronunciation and fluency, and let you replay your answers. Recordings of review drills are transcribed and then discarded. |
| What you said and the feedback: transcripts, corrections, pronunciation and fluency scores, conversation text | To show your feedback and history. |
| Learning progress: recurring mistakes, review schedule, your word list, XP, streaks and time spent speaking | To track your progress and choose what you practise next. |
| Subscription: whether you have Pratar Pro, the plan, and when it renews or ends. Payment details stay with Apple or Google; we never see them. | To give you access to what you’ve paid for. |
| Settings: daily goal, reminder time, feedback language and time zone | To count your days correctly and schedule reminders. |
| Technical logs: timestamps, errors and request information such as IP address | To keep the service secure and working. Kept for 30 days. |
Daily reminders are scheduled on your phone, so Pratar doesn't collect a push notification token. We don’t use advertising or analytics SDKs.
Who processes your data
We use these service providers, under their data processing terms, only to run Pratar:
- Microsoft Azure stores your account, history and recordings, and runs speech recognition, pronunciation assessment and the AI that corrects your Swedish (Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Speech). Data is stored in Azure's Southeast Asia region (Singapore); transcription is processed in Azure's South India region. Microsoft doesn't use this data to train its models.
- ElevenLabs turns text into speech: the AI partner's replies, the corrected version of your answer, read-aloud sentences and example sentences. It receives that text, not your recordings.
- RevenueCat checks your App Store or Google Play purchases and tells us whether your subscription is active. It receives your Pratar account identifier and your purchase history for Pratar, not your name, email or recordings.
- Google and Apple sign you in, if you choose them. We receive your name, email address and an account identifier.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while you have an account. You can delete any practice session in the app, which removes its recordings, transcripts and feedback, and its mistakes from your progress. When you delete your account, all your data is deleted within 30 days, except technical logs, which expire on their own after 30 days.
Your choices and rights
- Delete a session: swipe it away in your history, or use the delete button on the session.
- Delete your account: in the app under Settings, or by emailing us from the address you signed in with.
- Access or correct your data, or ask a question about it: email us.
Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to complain to a data protection authority. We process your data to provide the service you signed up for (contract) and to keep it secure (legitimate interest).
Children
Pratar isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
