Privacy
What My Speech Log keeps about you, who else holds it, and how to have it deleted. It is written in plain language by the one person who builds and runs the app. It was not written by a lawyer, and it describes what the app actually does rather than what a policy usually says.

What it keeps
Who you are
When you sign in, Google gives the app your name, your email address and a link to your profile picture. If you type in your Toastmasters Membership Number, that is kept too.
Your record
Everything you enter: your clubs, speeches, roles, Paths and Levels, leadership terms, awards, club visits, contests, and any notes you add to them.
What people said
Feedback you record keeps the words and the name of the person who said them. That is information about someone else, and it is only ever shown to you.
Your Google sign-in
The sign-in keys Google issues are stored with your account. They only allow what you agreed to when you signed in — your name, email address and picture. They cannot read your email, your files or anything else in your Google account.
The day you last opened it
The app keeps the day you last opened it — the day only, not the time and not what you looked at — so that I can tell how many people are using it. Nobody sees it but me, and it is in your export.
Where it is kept, and who else holds it
Your record is stored in a database run by Neon, and the app itself runs on Vercel. Both are in Sydney, Australia. Google handles signing in. These three hold your information only to run the app for you.
Nobody else sees your record — not your club, and not other people using the app. Your information is never sold, there is no advertising, and it is not shared with Toastmasters International.
I run the app, so I can see the database. I use that access to keep the app working and to improve it, and never to share or sell what is in it.
What is measured
Two of Vercel’s tools count visits and time how fast pages load: Web Analytics and Speed Insights. They record which kind of page was opened — “a Path”, not which Path — and how long it took. They use no cookies, and they do not record your name, your email or anything in your record.
If you report a problem from inside the app, the report form is a Google Form. It is filled in with the name of the screen you were on and the version of the app, and then holds whatever you choose to type.
Cookies, and what stays on your device
The app sets only the cookies it needs to work: the ones that keep you signed in, for up to 30 days, and one that remembers whether you chose light or dark. None of them track you, which is why there is no cookie banner.
Some things are kept in your browser and never sent anywhere: your speech timer settings, and — while you bring a record across from Base Camp — the files you dropped in, which are cleared when you finish or after a day.
What is deleted on its own
Import reports
If you send a report about a Base Camp file the app could not read, it holds only the lines that were not understood and any note you added. It is deleted once the problem is fixed, or after 90 days, whichever comes first.
The demo
Trying the demo makes a practice copy with no name or email attached. Once it is 24 hours old it is deleted, along with anything you typed into it, the next time anyone opens the demo.
Your own copy
You can download your whole record at any time from Settings, as a spreadsheet or as a data file: who you are, your clubs and when you belonged to them, your Paths, speeches, roles, what people said, leadership terms, DTM progress, club visits, contests and awards from before Pathways.
Having your account deleted
There is no button for it, on purpose: deleting a record is permanent, and it should not be one tap away. Email me from the address you sign in with, and I will delete your account and everything in it within a month, and reply to say it is done.
A note that a deletion happened, and when, is kept, with nothing in it that identifies you.
The same address works if you want to know exactly what is kept about you, or to have something corrected. You can also stop the app using your Google sign-in at any time from your Google Account’s security settings.
If this changes
The date at the top of this page moves when it is re-read against the app. If the app starts keeping something new, or sharing it with someone new, this page will say so before it happens. The terms cover the rest of using the app.
