Privacy Policy

TalkPro is an iPhone and iPad app for speaking and communication practice, developed by Hao Sheng. Core local practice does not require an account. TalkPro does not integrate advertising tracking or third-party behavioral analytics SDKs.

Data stored on your device

Practice history, prompts, favorites, recent activities, preferences, and recordings are stored in the app's device storage. TalkPro does not automatically upload these contents to the developer's servers.

Device backups, migration, and exports, sharing, or saving to Photos that you choose are handled according to your system settings and the services you select. Data stored locally can therefore leave the device through system features you authorize.

Optional DeepSeek prompts

Local prompts are the default. Before enabling AI, TalkPro explains the provider and the data sent, and asks for your explicit consent. AI mode requires your own DeepSeek API key. DeepSeek's service terms and any provider charges apply separately.

When enabled, requests go directly to DeepSeek and include the language, practice topic, difficulty, duration, scenario, training goal, requested prompt count, and recent generated prompt summaries needed to produce practice content. Your API key authenticates the request. DeepSeek also receives information needed for the network connection, including your IP address. TalkPro does not send recordings, videos, or training history to DeepSeek.

DeepSeek processes requests independently and may retain requests and service logs under its policies and your service agreement. Review the DeepSeek Open Platform Terms and DeepSeek Privacy Policy before enabling AI. TalkPro's handling of data in this app is described in this policy; the provider's general consumer policy does not replace it. You can turn AI off at any time and continue using local prompts.

Your API key is kept in the device Keychain, not in app preferences, training exports, or app logs. Settings lets you remove the key and cached AI prompts.

Permissions

Denying a permission does not upload any data. You can change permissions in iOS Settings.

Export, deletion, and retention

Settings → Data Management can export practice metadata. Exports exclude the API key; media files remain separate. Check the recipient before sharing an export or recording.

You can clear history and recordings separately. Clearing all TalkPro data also removes favorites, recent prompts, AI caches, and the saved API key. Copies you save to Photos or share with another service must be managed there; deleting app data does not remove those copies.

Local data remains until you clear it or delete the app. Keychain items have a separate lifecycle, so remove the API key in Settings before uninstalling. Deleting local data does not delete requests retained by DeepSeek; contact that provider under its policy where applicable.

Purchases and subscriptions

Where subscriptions are offered, Apple processes payments. TalkPro reads verified StoreKit transactions on your device to determine subscription access and preserve eligible previous paid purchases. This can include product identifiers, purchase and expiry dates, transaction identifiers, and the original app purchase version. TalkPro does not receive your card number and does not send transaction records to a developer-operated server. Apple processes account and payment data under its own policies.

Website and support messages

This website is hosted by Cloudflare. It processes connection information such as IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and protect the site. We have not added advertising trackers or website analytics. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

If you email us, your email address, message, and any attachments are processed using our Gmail mailbox to respond to your request. Do not include API keys or private recordings unless necessary. Support messages are retained only as needed to resolve and follow up on your request, or meet applicable obligations. You can request their deletion by email. Google processes email service data under its privacy policy.

Scope and contact

TalkPro is a practice tool, not a medical, psychological treatment, or diagnostic service. Live-room audiences, comments, and interactions are simulated practice content. The app does not broadcast your session publicly.

For privacy questions, access or deletion requests, and support, contact Hao Sheng at shenghao.pm@gmail.com. Tell us your country or region when relevant to your request. We cannot retrieve recordings stored only on your device. Material changes to this policy will be reflected here and, where needed, accompanied by renewed in-app consent.
