My Voice Privacy Policy

About My Voice

My Voice is a picture-based communication aid for children, set up and supervised by a parent or carer. Slick Applications is the developer. This policy describes the Android app, package com.myvoicefamily.aac, and this public policy page.

No online account, child name, date of birth, address, school, diagnosis or location is required to use the communication board. Parent access is a local six-digit PIN, not an online membership. The Account screen manages this local profile.

Information stored on your device

The app keeps communication items, names and phrases, categories, food storage labels, availability, settings, usage history and notification queue records in its local application storage. Usage history can show a child's choices and when they were made. Photos chosen or taken for buttons and saved familiar-voice recordings are kept in the app's local files.

Parent PIN and recovery-code verification records, lockout information, and any optional notification pairing details and recipient addresses use Android secure storage. The local SQLite database has no separate app-level encryption layer; Android's app sandbox and device protections apply. Android app backup is disabled in the app configuration.

Photos, microphone and speech

Inside parent controls, you can take a button photo with the camera or choose an image using the device picker. Camera permission is requested when taking a photo. Microphone permission is requested when a parent starts recording a familiar phrase. Recording is foreground-only. Declining these permissions leaves the other communication choices available; you can revoke permissions in Android settings.

The app does not upload photos or voice recordings through its notification feature. Device speech uses installed Android text-to-speech voices checked for offline availability. The app has no cloud speech service. Android and the chosen speech provider control installing voice data and their own settings. Core communication works offline when the required device voice data or saved recordings are available.

Optional email notifications

Slick Applications does not currently provide or preconfigure a hosted My Voice email-notification service. A new installation has no paired endpoint, device token or recipients. Communication does not require pairing. A parent can independently configure an HTTPS family notification service and select up to three service-approved email recipients.

Before pairing, the app explains the transmission and asks the parent to choose whether to proceed. Pairing sends the authentication token to the HTTPS service entered by the parent to obtain its approved recipient list. After pairing, the app can send the selected category and phrase, event date and time, timezone, recipient email addresses and a random request ID to that service for email delivery. The authentication token accompanies requests. The service and network providers also receive connection information such as the device's IP address. Photos and voice recordings are not included.

These messages may reveal private information about a child's needs. Only enable notifications after checking the service operator's privacy information, child-data suitability, recipients, retention and deletion arrangements and any parental consent requirements. The repository includes a Cloudflare/Resend backend template; it is not a live service supplied with the app. Those providers receive notification data only if a parent separately configures a service that uses them. Other parent-configured services may use other providers.

In this policy version, paired devices must confirm the disclosure before the app sends queued notifications. Consent applies to the paired service. To stop new submissions, use Stop email notifications in the parent Notifications screen. This preserves local history and pending requests. Discard pending requests prevents their later submission. Changing recipients does not change recipients already attached to queued requests. Already submitted emails cannot be recalled.

Parent-directed exports

Parents can export catalogue metadata or voice-recording backups using Android sharing. Catalogue export is not a complete photo backup; recording backups contain audio. The chosen destination receives that information under its own practices. Export files have no additional My Voice encryption. Protect copies you save and delete them from their destinations when no longer needed. Recording import uses the device document picker.

Advertising, analytics and services

My Voice has no advertising, in-app purchases or integrated third-party advertising/analytics service in the reviewed application. Usage Insights uses local history. Expo and React Native provide the app framework and device modules. Expo EAS and GitHub are development and build services, not parent accounts or destinations for the app's communication history, photos or recordings. Automatic Expo over-the-air updates are disabled.

Android, Google Play, an installed speech provider, a parent-selected sharing destination or a parent-configured notification service can process information under their own policies. This policy does not describe their independent handling. Visiting the public policy page makes a normal HTTPS request to Cloudflare, its host, which processes connection information to deliver and protect the page. The page includes no analytics script, advertising, form or app-data upload. Reading the bundled policy inside My Voice requires no network request.

Retention and deletion

Local data remains until a parent changes or deletes it or the app's local storage is removed. Parent controls allow removal of custom items/photos and phrase recordings. Usage Insights can clear usage history. Notifications can clear completed history or discard pending requests. Account includes a current-PIN-confirmed Delete local profile and all app data action, which removes local items, photos, recordings, settings, PIN/pairing details and history.

Reset Parent Setup is different: it removes the parent PIN, recovery information, email pairing, recipients and notification history while preserving family items, photos, recordings and voice settings. Do not uninstall just to install an update if you want to retain local data.

The developer cannot remotely access or delete your device's data. Local deletion cannot remove previously exported files, sent emails, copies held by recipients or service-provider records. Their retention is controlled by the chosen destination or service operator. Ask that operator and recipients to delete their copies; My Voice has no remote deletion interface for them.

Children, parents and contact

My Voice is designed for children with adult setup and supervision. Parent PIN controls protect management, photo/recording actions, exports and notification configuration. The PIN is a local access control and is not an identity or age verification service. Parents should protect the device and recovery code, choose appropriate content and avoid connecting unreviewed services.

For questions or deletion requests about information you have sent directly to support, contact slick.websites.studio@gmail.com. If you email support, your email address and message are processed by your email provider and our mailbox provider and remain in the mailbox unless deleted. Avoid sending a child's diagnosis, photographs or recordings. The app does not send support messages automatically.

We will update this policy when the app's handling changes. The version bundled in the app is available offline; the public page can contain a newer version. Last updated: 27 October 2026.
