Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Parents are in control

SpeechStep is used through a parent or guardian account. When you enable any feature that records your child, you confirm that you are the child’s parent or legal guardian and are at least 18 years old. You can review, change, or withdraw your choices at any time.

Practice is private by default

By default, speech practice runs entirely on your device. No audio is uploaded and nothing is stored. Your child can use SpeechStep this way without any recording at all.

What we collect from or about a child — and only with your consent

• Voice recordings — only if you turn on cloud feedback. We verify your consent on our servers before a recording is stored, and you can turn it off at any time.
• Age (in months) — optional, used to give age-appropriate feedback. We do not collect a full date of birth.
• Practice results — scores and progress, stored against a random identifier, not your child’s name.

A child’s recording is stored under a random identifier — never their name — and is kept in a private store that only you (and our service, on your behalf) can access.

Two clear, separate consents

• Recording — allows cloud feedback: audio is analysed by our AI scoring service and saved to your account so you can review it.
• Improve SpeechStep — a separate, optional choice. Only with this consent may a saved recording be used, with clinician review, to improve our models. Declining it does not limit your child’s practice.

We minimize what we collect

We ask only for what a feature needs. We never require a child’s real name. We use no third-party advertising or analytics trackers. We do not sell or rent children’s data.

Your rights as a parent

• Review your child’s recordings and data.
• Delete recordings at any time in your account, or ask us to delete your account and all associated data.
• Withdraw consent at any time, which stops further recording and, for the training choice, further use.

Manage these in your account, or email privacy@webmobi.com. We respond to verified parental requests within 30 days (or sooner where required by law). If you believe a child has provided us information without your consent, contact us and we will delete it.
