Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 23, 2026

SaySpoke is a social app where people post Moments, share Finds, and back content with specific Backing Tags instead of empty likes.

This Privacy Policy explains what information SaySpoke collects, how we use it, how we protect it, and what choices you have.

SaySpoke is currently in beta. Some features, privacy controls, analytics, safety tools, and data practices may change as the product develops. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date above and may provide additional notice inside the app or by email.

1. Who this policy applies to

This policy applies when you use SaySpoke, including:

• Creating an account
• Posting Moments
• Creating or viewing Finds
• Uploading photos or videos
• Backing posts, profiles, Finds, or other content
• Leaving Notes or replies
• Saving content
• Following users or Finds creators
• Sending private messages
• Using profile, privacy, trust, reporting, or account controls
• Visiting SaySpoke pages that use cookies or analytics

2. Information you give us

We collect information you choose to provide, including:

• Account information, such as your name, email address, username, handle, password login status, and Google sign-in information if you use Google login
• Profile information, such as your display name, profile picture, bio, location text, privacy settings, message settings, and public profile details
• Finds creator profile information, such as creator handle, display name, creator profile photo, and creator description
• Content you post, such as Moments, Finds, captions, descriptions, media, Backing Tags, Notes, replies, and saved content
• Media you upload, such as photos, videos, thumbnails, profile images, creator avatars, and related file metadata
• Reports, appeals, safety messages, support requests, and other communications you send to us
• Account lifecycle requests, such as account pause, deletion, or support requests

Do not post private, sensitive, confidential, or legally restricted information unless you are comfortable sharing it under the privacy setting you choose.

3. Information created when you use SaySpoke

When you use SaySpoke, we may collect or generate information such as:

• Posts you create, edit, remove, save, or interact with
• Backing Tags you give or receive
• Notes, replies, likes on Notes, and other engagement activity
• Follows, profile visits, Find views, watch activity, saves, share counts, and other product signals
• Discovery and recommendation signals, such as what content is viewed, watched, saved, backed, followed, or reported
• Device, browser, IP address, approximate location, log, diagnostic, and security information
• Preferences, such as message sound settings, feed video settings, desktop layout settings, and other interface preferences
• Invite-code usage, beta access status, login status, email verification status, and account status
• Moderation, trust, safety, admin, and abuse-prevention records

We use these signals to operate the service, personalize feeds, improve recommendations, protect users, debug issues, and understand whether SaySpoke is working.

4. Public and private content

SaySpoke has different surfaces and visibility settings.

Moments are personal posts. If a Moment is public, people may be able to view it from your profile or other allowed surfaces. Moments are not intended to work the same way as Finds discovery.

Finds are creator, recommendation, video, place, resource, or discovery-oriented posts. Public Finds may be shown in discovery, feeds, creator profiles, search-like surfaces, recommendations, or other product areas.

Because SaySpoke is currently new and has a small user base, early users may see each other’s posts more often, especially on the Finds side. Review your privacy settings before posting, backing, commenting, saving, or interacting with someone else’s content.

Your public actions may be visible to others depending on the feature, including:

• Public profile details
• Public Moments
• Public Finds
• Backing Tags
• Notes and replies
• Follows
• Creator profile activity
• Public engagement or recommendation signals

Some activity may remain visible or stored even after you change a setting, especially if it was already viewed, copied, reported, indexed internally, included in backups, or required for safety, security, legal, or operational reasons.

5. Private messages

SaySpoke private messages are designed to use client-side encryption for message text. We store encrypted message content, message metadata, participant records, read and delivery status, typing or presence signals, and key information needed to make the feature work across devices.

Private message metadata may include information such as:

• Who is in a conversation
• When messages were sent
• Whether messages were delivered or read
• Conversation state
• Message key records
• Presence or typing state
• Block and message-privacy settings

During beta, do not use SaySpoke private messages for highly sensitive information. Encryption and key-management systems may continue to change as the product develops.

6. Location and place information

SaySpoke may let you add, search, display, or infer location-related information for profiles, Moments, Finds, or local discovery.

This may include:

• Location text you enter
• Place names
• City, region, or country
• Map or place search results
• Approximate location signals
• Location metadata connected to content you post

We may use location-related information to support local discovery, map features, content context, search, safety review, and recommendation quality.

Do not add a precise location to a post unless you are comfortable with others seeing it under that post’s visibility setting.

7. Video, media, and content processing

SaySpoke may process uploaded media to make the service work. This may include:

• Uploading and storing media files
• Creating thumbnails, previews, or processed video versions
• Reading file metadata
• Measuring upload size, format, duration, and processing status
• Running video-processing jobs
• Diagnosing failed uploads or playback issues
• Reviewing media connected to reports, safety issues, or abuse prevention

SaySpoke may also use automated or model-assisted tools to help categorize content, suggest or evaluate Backing Tags, identify content type, improve recommendations, support safety review, or improve product quality. These tools are not meant to replace human review where human judgment is needed.

8. Google Analytics

SaySpoke uses Google Analytics to understand how people use the site and where the product needs improvement.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed
• Time on page
• Referring pages
• Browser and device information
• Approximate location based on IP address
• Interaction and usage events
• Cookies or similar identifiers

We use this information to measure traffic, understand feature usage, diagnose product issues, improve onboarding, and make SaySpoke easier to use.

Google may process this information according to its own terms and policies. You can learn more here:

With service providers

We use service providers to operate SaySpoke. These may include hosting, database, storage, authentication, email, analytics, maps, media processing, security, and infrastructure providers.

These providers may process information only as needed to provide services to SaySpoke, subject to their terms and our configuration.

For safety, security, and legal reasons

We may access, preserve, or share information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with law or legal process
• Enforce our Terms
• Investigate abuse, fraud, spam, security issues, or policy violations
• Protect users, SaySpoke, or the public
• Respond to reports, appeals, or support issues
• Prevent harm or illegal activity

Business transfers

If SaySpoke is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

12. Sponsored placements and advertising

SaySpoke may display sponsored placements or promotional content.

At this stage, SaySpoke does not intend to use third-party ad networks for behavioral advertising unless this policy is updated to explain that practice. Google Analytics is used for product analytics and site measurement.

13. Data retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to:

• Provide the service
• Maintain your account
• Preserve content and interactions
• Support safety, moderation, reporting, and appeals
• Meet legal, tax, accounting, security, and operational needs
• Maintain backups and logs
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce our Terms

When you delete content or request account deletion, we will take reasonable steps to remove or deactivate information, subject to limits such as backups, logs, safety records, legal requirements, and content that others may have copied or interacted with.

14. Account deletion

You may request deletion of your account through available account tools or by contacting us.

Account deletion may remove or deactivate your profile and account access, but some information may remain for legitimate reasons, including:

• Security logs
• Legal or compliance records
• Reports, appeals, or moderation records
• Backups for a limited period
• Content or interactions needed to protect other users
• Information that has already been shared publicly or copied by others

15. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect user information. These may include authentication controls, row-level security, access controls, encryption for some data, logging, admin restrictions, and security review.

No system is perfect. SaySpoke is in beta, and bugs may exist. Please report security or privacy concerns to us promptly.

16. Your choices

Depending on the feature, you may be able to:

• Edit your profile
• Change privacy settings
• Set content visibility
• Delete or edit content
• Block users
• Control who can message you
• Save or unsave content
• Manage followers or creator follows
• Request account deletion
• Control cookies through your browser
• Use Google Analytics opt-out tools

Some choices may not remove information already processed, cached, reported, backed up, or seen by others.

17. Children

SaySpoke is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided information to SaySpoke, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

18. U.S. state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive information about certain personal information.

You may contact us to make a privacy request. We may need to verify your identity before completing the request.

19. International users

SaySpoke is currently operated from the United States. If you use SaySpoke from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

20. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as SaySpoke changes. The updated version will be posted with a new “Last updated” date.

Your continued use of SaySpoke after the updated policy is posted means you accept the updated policy, unless applicable law requires a different process.
