Privacy policy

Last updated: October 2026

The short version

We collect only what we need to match you with people and keep SevenTalk safe. Calls are never recorded. We don’t sell your data or show ads.

What we collect

• Your Google account basics: your Google account ID, email address, name and profile picture, when you sign in with Google.
• Your profile: first name, country, first language, and your confirmation that you are 18 or older.
• Your level: your level test result and how it changes with partners’ feedback.
• Your sessions: who you talked with, when, for how long, which card you used and how the session ended.
• Feedback: the badges and level answers partners give each other, and the words you choose to save.
• Safety records: reports and blocks made by or about your account.
• Technical data: if a call has trouble connecting, your browser sends us technical details (browser version, connection state). Never audio or video.

What we never collect

• Audio and video are never recorded or stored. They travel directly between you and your partner whenever possible. When a direct connection isn’t possible, they pass through our relay server without being saved.
• The camera face check runs only on your device. It checks that a face is in the picture. No image is uploaded and no one is identified.
• The talk-balance bar is measured on your device. Only the number of seconds you’ve spoken is shared with your partner.
• The listening questions in the level test are spoken by your own browser.

What your partner sees

Your first name and country. Never your email address, last name, photo or level.

How we use it

Only to run SevenTalk: signing you in, matching you with people at your level, showing your progress, and preventing abuse. We don’t sell or share your data with anyone for advertising.

Services we use

• Google Sign-In to sign you in (Google’s own privacy policy applies to it).
• Google Fonts to load our typeface.
• Our servers are hosted in the European Union.

Cookies

We use one cookie to keep you signed in. No tracking or advertising cookies.

Keeping and deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time in the app: open the menu, choose My progress, then Delete my account. This removes your profile, progress, badges and saved words. Records needed to keep others safe (for example, that an account was suspended after reports) are kept in a form that is not linked to your profile.
