Last Updated: April 20, 2026

Introduction

SayMate (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. SayMate is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app that allows users to create flashcards with images, labels, and voice to support communication.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using SayMate, you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

2.1 User-Provided Data

We may collect and store:

  • Images uploaded or captured for flashcards
  • Text labels you create
  • Voice recordings you record
These are core features of the application, not hidden tracking mechanisms.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

We may collect technical information to improve app performance:

  • Device information (device type, OS version)
  • App usage data (basic interactions, crash reports)

2.3 Local Storage

SayMate primarily stores your data locally on your device. This includes flashcards, images, voice recordings, and settings.

What this means: Your data stays on your phone, you have full control over it, and there is no cloud upload by default.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data solely to provide and improve our services:

  • Display and manage your flashcards
  • Enable tap-to-speak functionality
  • Improve app performance and stability
  • Identify and fix bugs or crashes

We do NOT use your data for advertising profiling or commercial targeting.

Data Sharing

We do NOT sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may only share data in the following cases:

  • With essential service providers (e.g., crash analytics tools)
  • If strictly required by law or legal process

Permissions We Use

To provide its core functionality, SayMate may request the following permissions:

  • Camera: To capture images for your communication flashcards.
  • Microphone: To record custom voice labels for cards.
  • Storage: To save and load your personalized content on your device.
  • Media: To access your device's photo library.
These permissions are used only for app features you explicitly trigger.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data. However, please be aware that no application or transmission is 100% secure. You use the app with this understanding.

Your Rights

You maintain full control over your data:

  • Delete flashcards anytime within the app interface.
  • Clear app data via your device settings.
  • Uninstall the app to remove all locally stored content.

Children’s Privacy
