Privacy Policy

Draft. Last updated November 1, 2026.

Banter helps you practice conversations. This policy explains what we collect and why.

What we collect

• Account: an anonymous account id. If you choose Sign in with Apple or Google, your account id from them and (if shared) your email.
• Practice conversations: the messages you type in practice chats and the feedback we generate, so you can see your history and progress.
• Progress: XP, streaks, lesson results, onboarding answers, and your time zone.
• Usage and diagnostics: in-app events (for example "lesson started") and error reports, tied to your account id, with app version and approximate country.
• Purchases: subscription status from the App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment details.

How we use it

To run the app, generate practice replies and feedback, keep your progress, fix bugs, and improve lessons. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

AI processing

Your practice messages are sent to an AI model provider (via OpenRouter) to generate replies and feedback. Please don't share sensitive personal information in practice chats.

Service providers

Cloudflare (hosting, storage, and speech-to-text and text-to-speech for voice practice), OpenRouter and model providers (AI), Tinybird (analytics), Apple and Google (purchases, sign-in). Voice recordings are turned into text and are not stored; only the text is kept.

Your choices

You can delete your account and all associated data any time in Profile → Delete account. For questions or data requests, contact support@banterapp.us.
