Speaking Prime - Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This policy explains what Speaking Prime — the IELTS Speaking app that opens inside Telegram, and its bot @SpeakingPrimeBot — knows about you, why, who can see it, and how you can change it. “We” means the Speaking Prime team.

The short version

• We only keep what the app needs to work: your study progress and your settings.
• Your voice recordings never leave your phone.
• No ads. We never sell your data, and we don’t track you on other apps or websites.
• The app doesn’t take payments.

What we get from Telegram

When you open the app, Telegram tells it your Telegram ID, your first name and your username — the same details Telegram gives every Mini App. The app also asks Telegram whether you are a member of the Speaking Prime paid channel; that is how Premium opens for you. We never see your phone number, your contacts or your chats.

What we keep on our server

• Your study progress: how many cards you’ve learned and revised, your streak, your daily and weekly numbers, the topics you’ve prepared, the phrases you found hardest this week, and today’s step in Today’s goals.
• Your plan and settings: your exam date, your target band, your reminder time and time zone, and whether you want to be shown in the rankings.
• Pictures you share: when you tap Share on a progress picture, the picture is kept for two days so its link works, then deleted.
• Invitations: if you opened the app with a friend’s invite link, we note who invited you and whether you joined Premium, so your friend’s discount can be counted.

Your progress is also backed up in Telegram’s cloud storage for this app, so it follows you to a new phone.

If you study in one of our classes in the app, we also keep the name you give when you join, your homework progress, and what you did for it (for example: time spent on cards, whether you read an article to the end, how much of a video lesson you watched, your exercise scores). These activity details are deleted after 60 days. Your teacher can also keep a short private note about your progress.

What stays only on your phone

• Your voice recordings. When you record your answers, the recordings are saved on your phone only. They are never uploaded, never shared and never used for anything else. You can listen to them and delete them in the app.

Who can see what

• You see everything about your own progress.
• Your teacher sees the progress of Speaking Prime students in the teacher dashboard — for class members also their homework, their activity and today’s step.
• Other students see your first name and your number of cards if you are in a top 10 — this week’s or the all-time one. You can hide yourself there any time in Settings. In a class, your classmates also see the class ranking: names and cards this week.

Services we use

• Telegram — the app and the bot run on Telegram. Telegram’s own privacy policy applies to Telegram.
• Cloudflare — hosts the app and keeps the data described above. Its servers may be outside Uzbekistan.
• LanguageTool — when you check a sentence in the sentence checker, that sentence is sent to LanguageTool to check spelling and grammar. Nothing else is sent.
• ElevenLabs — makes the studio voice for the app’s phrases. It receives only the app’s own phrases, never anything about you.

Messages from the bot

The bot sends you a daily reminder at the time you choose (you can change it or turn it off with /reminders or in Settings), notes about your plan or Premium, and sometimes a friendly reminder from your teacher. It never sends advertising.

Your choices and rights

• Hide yourself from the rankings in Settings.
• Turn the daily reminder off.
• Delete your recordings in the app.
• Ask us for a copy of the data we keep about you, or ask us to delete it. We will do it within 30 days.

Children

Speaking Prime is made for IELTS learners. If you are under 18, please use it with your parent’s or teacher’s knowledge.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new date at the top. Big changes are also announced in the app.
