Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 13, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use Winkply, we collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: Email address, display name, and profile picture when you create an account.
  • Usage Data: Session duration, features used, confidence scores, and interaction patterns to improve our AI coaching.
  • Voice Data: Audio recordings during voice roleplay sessions are processed in real-time and are not stored after the session ends unless you explicitly save them.
  • Video Data: Video recordings for coaching analysis are processed on-device when possible. Cloud processing uses encrypted, temporary storage that is deleted within 24 hours.
  • Face & Camera Data: The Video Coach feature accesses your device's front-facing camera to record coaching sessions for self-review of body language and expressions. Video recordings are stored locally on your device only and are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties. No facial recognition, biometric identification, or face mapping is performed. You control when recording starts and stops, and can delete recordings at any time. Retention: Face and camera data (video recordings) are stored on your device for a maximum of 30 days to allow you to review your coaching progress over time. After 30 days, recordings are automatically deleted from your device. You may also manually delete recordings at any time from within the app. We store recordings for this period because coaching improvement is best measured across multiple sessions within a short timeframe.
  • Text Data: Messages you craft using our text tools are processed to generate suggestions but are not associated with your identity in our analytics.
  • Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version for compatibility and debugging.
