Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 8, 2026

1. Information We Collect

SocialGym may allow you to enter or save the following information:

• Practice goals, such as improving small talk, confidence, eye contact, voice clarity, or conversation skills.
• Daily practice progress, such as completed drills, roleplay sessions, missions, notes, and self-reflections.
• Voice practice data, such as spoken answers, speech duration, pace, pauses, and related practice feedback.
• Eye contact practice data, such as camera-based practice metrics and session results when you choose to use this feature.
• Scenario roleplay inputs, such as selected conversation situations, user messages, and practice responses.
• App preferences, such as language, theme, notification preferences, and reminder time.
• Premium access status related to in-app purchases or subscriptions.
• Your consent choice for AI-powered features.

2. Local Storage on Your Device

Most app data is stored locally on your device. This may include your practice history, goals, notes, settings, reminders, session results, and app preferences. We do not require you to create an account to use the app.

3. AI Features and Data Sharing

Some SocialGym features use artificial intelligence to generate personalized practice feedback, roleplay responses, communication suggestions, and improvement tips.

Before any personal practice data is sent for AI processing, the app asks for your permission. If you do not give permission, you can still use the app with local, non-AI practice features.

When you choose to use AI features, SocialGym may send the following information for processing:

• Your selected practice goal or scenario.
• Your written messages or spoken practice responses.
• Recent practice notes, self-reflections, or session context you entered.
• Basic profile context used for personalization, such as language preference and selected goals.
• Non-sensitive practice metrics, such as session duration, pace, or completed exercises.

This information is sent to the SocialGym server and processed using Google Gemini to generate the AI response. The information is used only to generate the requested AI insight, roleplay response, or practice feedback.

AI-generated responses are general practice guidance only. They are not medical, psychological, therapeutic, legal, or professional advice and should not be used to diagnose, treat, prevent, or manage any condition. If you have health or mental health concerns, contact a qualified professional.

4. Camera and Microphone Features

SocialGym may request access to your microphone for voice practice and to your camera for optional eye contact practice. These permissions are used only for the features you choose to activate.

Voice and camera data may be processed on your device to provide practice feedback. If AI-powered analysis is used, the app will ask for permission before sending relevant practice data for AI processing.

You can manage microphone and camera permissions at any time in your device settings.

5. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Show your practice progress and completed exercises.
• Save and display your daily drills, roleplay history, notes, and reflections.
• Provide voice practice feedback, such as pace, pauses, answer length, and confidence-related signals.
• Provide optional eye contact practice feedback when you choose to use the camera feature.
• Generate AI feedback, roleplay responses, and communication suggestions if you give permission and use AI features.
• Manage notification reminders that you choose to enable.
• Provide premium access after an in-app purchase or subscription.
• Improve app functionality and user experience.

6. Third-Party Services

SocialGym may use the following third-party services:

• Google Gemini: used to process AI requests and generate AI responses after you give permission.
• Apple App Store / StoreKit: used to process in-app purchases, subscriptions, purchase restoration, and subscription status.
• Hosting provider: used to operate the SocialGym server that routes AI requests.

We do not sell your personal information.

7. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

SocialGym offers optional paid subscriptions through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Payment information is processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

The app may store subscription status locally so that premium features can be unlocked after a successful purchase or restored purchase.

8. Notifications

If you enable reminders, SocialGym may send local notifications, such as daily practice reminders, drill reminders, or progress reminders. You can manage notification permissions in your device settings and app settings.

9. Data Retention

Data stored locally remains on your device unless you delete the app or remove the data through device-level controls. AI request data is used to generate the requested response. We do not use AI request data to create a public profile of you.

10. Your Choices

You can:

• Use the app without enabling AI data sharing.
• Choose whether to use AI-powered features.
• Allow or deny camera and microphone permissions.
• Change notification settings at any time.
• Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple App Store account settings.
• Delete the app from your device to remove locally stored app data from that device.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical measures to protect information during transmission and processing. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children’s Privacy

SocialGym is not intended for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

13. International Processing

If you use AI features, your information may be processed by servers or service providers located outside your country or region. By choosing to use AI features, you understand that this processing may occur where our service providers operate.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify users in the app or through the App Store listing.
