Declama
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Who we are
Declama (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is developed and published by Matvey Pirogov, the controller of the personal data described in this policy. Contact: support@declama.app.
Data that stays on your device
Everything you create in the app is stored only on your iPhone, in the app’s local storage:
- your voice recordings (“takes”), their transcripts and analyses;
- your goal, speech language and practice history;
- app settings such as the theme and your privacy choices.
We do not receive this data. It is included in your device backups according to your iCloud or computer backup settings. Deleting the app deletes it from your iPhone.
Data processed by services we use
| Service | What and why | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (App Store, StoreKit) | Payments for Declama Pro are handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. We never see your payment details. | — |
| RevenueCat, Inc. (USA) | Manages Pro subscriptions and purchases: a random app user ID, purchase and subscription records, app version and device type. Used to unlock Pro, restore purchases and count subscriptions. | Needed to sell and restore Pro (contract). |
| Apple Ads attribution (Apple, via RevenueCat) | If you install Declama after tapping one of our ads on the App Store, the app gets an attribution token from Apple’s AdServices framework, and RevenueCat exchanges it with Apple for the campaign, ad group, keyword and country of that ad. No advertising identifier (IDFA) is used, and Apple does not treat this as tracking. Used only to see which of our ads pay off. | Legitimate interest (measuring our own ads). You can object at any time: support@declama.app. |
| Voice analysis (Google Cloud Functions for Firebase and Gemini API, Google LLC / Google Ireland) | When you finish a take, the recording and your speech language are sent to our cloud function, which asks Google’s Gemini models for a word-by-word transcript and a structure review. We use the result to show your pace, pauses, filler words and tips. We don’t keep the recording on our servers after the analysis; it stays on your iPhone until you delete the take. | Only with your permission: before your first take the app asks whether recordings may be sent for AI analysis. No recording is sent without it or unless you record a take. You can withdraw it at any time: Settings → Privacy → AI analysis of takes. |
| Google Firebase Analytics (Google LLC / Google Ireland) | Pseudonymous usage events: screens opened, onboarding finished, a take recorded or analyzed (its number, speech language, length and scores — never the recording or the transcript), a drill started, the subscription screen or a one-time offer shown, closed or a purchase made, plus device model, OS version, app version and approximate country. No advertising ID is collected and the data is not used for ads. | In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland — only if you say yes during setup (consent). Elsewhere — on by default (legitimate interest). Off at any time: Settings → Privacy. |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reports: the error, the state of the app when it crashed, device model, OS and app version. Used only to find and fix bugs. | On by default (legitimate interest). Off at any time: Settings → Privacy. |
Notifications — the reminder before your free trial ends and optional practice reminders — are local notifications scheduled on your device; no push service is involved and nothing is sent to us.
Links to the App Store
Links to Declama on our website and in our posts carry a campaign name, for example “launch-post”. Apple reports to us, in aggregate, how many people downloaded or subscribed after following each link.
What we don’t do
- No account and no sign-in. No ads in the app and no advertising SDKs.
- No tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies, and no advertising identifier (IDFA).
- We don’t sell or share your personal data for advertising.
- We don’t use your recordings or transcripts to train AI models, and we don’t keep recordings on our servers after the analysis.
- Declama is not a medical or speech-therapy product and does not collect health data.
How long data is kept
On-device data stays until you delete it or the app. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months and crash reports for up to 90 days. Purchase records are kept by RevenueCat while needed to provide Pro and to meet legal accounting obligations.
International transfers
RevenueCat and Google may process data in the United States. These transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to object to or restrict processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. Most data never leaves your device, so you control it directly. For analytics, crash or purchase data, write to support@declama.app — include the approximate date of purchase if your request is about a subscription. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Declama is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
