Data Collection

We collect information you provide, create, or upload to the service, as well as information collected automatically and from third-party sources, as described below. For the purpose of this policy, Personal Information is defined as information that identifies, relates to or could reasonably be linked with or describes  an individual or household, either directly or indirectly. Personal information of users is not collected by a third party from the service for third party’s own use. Please note that we use a third-party provider, Paddle, to handle payment processing and payment information. Paddle captures payment information directly within the services to process payments. Aggregated or combined information, representing a collective summary of data, is treated with the same level of confidentiality and protection as personally identifiable information (PII) on our platform.

How we use your personal information

Speechlab limits the collection and processing of data to only what is necessary to deliver the service. This includes the context or purpose for which data is collected as indicated above.

Data is not collected by the product or service for the purpose of tracking. Partners and third-parties may not create data profiles for personalised advertisements. User-created content is reviewed, screened, or monitored by the company.

We maintain a formal Data Retention Policy to establish clear guidelines on the lifecycle management of our data, bolster data security, and demonstrate a commitment to responsible and transparent data management practices within our organization.

We delete Personal Data upon account cancelation or termination. In some cases, we may retain Personal Data beyond the length of time that you have an account with us in order to resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, or otherwise. Anonymized data, which is no longer attached to you personally, may be retained for longer periods of time.

Collected information may be shared with third parties. The categories of information shared with third parties include contact data, user content data, geolocation data, usage data, and behavioral data.

We place contractual limits on third-party data use and Personal Information is not sold or rented to third parties.

Your Privacy Rights

Except as otherwise provided, this section applies to residents of states where they have privacy laws applicable to us that grant their residents the rights described below.

For purposes of this section, “personal information” has the meaning given to “personal data”, “personal information” or similar terms under the applicable privacy laws of the state in which you reside. Please note that not all rights listed below may be afforded to all users and that if you are not a resident of the relevant states, you may not be able to exercise these rights. In addition, we may not be able to process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity or understand and respond to it.

In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of residents of these states, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply with respect to the activities it describes instead of this section.

Verification: Upon receipt of your request, we will initiate the identity verification process to confirm that you are the individual for whom we hold information in our system. This verification procedure necessitates your cooperation in supplying relevant information, allowing us to compare it with the details you previously furnished. Depending on the nature of your request, we may request specific information to align with our existing records, or we may reach out to you using a previously provided communication method (such as phone or email). In certain situations, alternative verification methods may be employed based on the circumstances.

Any personal information disclosed in your request will solely be utilized for the purpose of confirming your identity or validating your authority to make the request. We will make every effort to minimize the need for additional information for verification purposes. However, should it be impossible to verify your identity with the existing information in our records, we may request additional details to ensure the security and prevent fraud. Any supplementary information you provide for verification will be promptly deleted upon the completion of the verification process.

Authorized Agents: Your authorized agent may be able to make a request on your behalf. However, we may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity and authority to act on your behalf. We may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as by providing your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, the information we request to verify your identity, and confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
