The short version
SayItHere does not collect, store, or share any personal data — ever. Your location is used only on your device to find nearby places. Nothing is sent to any server. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no analytics.
Location data
SayItHere requests access to your device's location in order to detect nearby places (such as cafés, restaurants, and hotels) and suggest relevant French phrases for that context.
- Location is processed entirely on your device
- Your coordinates are never transmitted to our servers
- Location is only accessed when you use Live Mode
- We never store a history of your locations
- You can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings
Data we do not collect
- No names, email addresses, or personal identifiers
- No usage analytics or behavioural tracking
- No crash reporting sent off-device
- No advertising identifiers
- No purchase or payment information
Data stored on your device
SayItHere stores the following information locally on your device only, using iOS standard storage. This data never leaves your phone:
- Your saved favourite phrases
- Your recently viewed scenarios
- Your app settings (voice preference, speech speed)
- A cached copy of phrase data for offline use
Third-party services
Live Mode uses the OpenStreetMap Overpass API to find places near your location. When this feature is used, your approximate coordinates are sent to the Overpass API in order to return nearby places. This is subject to the OpenStreetMap Privacy Policy. No personally identifiable information is included in this request.
Phrase data updates
SayItHere may download updated phrase content from GitHub to keep vocabulary current without requiring an app update. Only the phrase file is downloaded — no user data is sent during this process.
Children's privacy
SayItHere does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. The app contains no user accounts, no forms, and no data submission of any kind.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Any changes will maintain the same commitment to collecting no personal data.
