Last updated: 8 October 2026. Early version, for the free practice and the interest form.
The short version
When you practise, your voice is streamed live to an AI speech model and turned into text. We keep the text of the conversation, the examiner’s notes and your report. We do not keep the audio. If you leave your email and answers on the form, we keep those to write to you once when the full product opens and to shape what we build. No advertising cookies, no analytics cookies.
Who is responsible
Avlas Digital (registered business name No. 793798, Companies Registration Office, Ireland), Park House, The Square, Claremorris, Co. Mayo, F12 HE97, Ireland. Email: hello@speakpass.co.uk.
What we collect and why
- Your voice, live. Streamed over an encrypted connection to a speech model on Microsoft Azure (EU data zone, Sweden) so the examiner can hear and answer you. Microsoft does not train on this data and does not keep it beyond processing. We never receive or store the audio. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running the practice you asked for; you can stop at any time by ending the session.
- Transcript, examiner notes, report. Stored so the report can be shown to you and, if you leave your email, linked to it. Kept for 12 months. Legal basis: legitimate interest and, once the paid product exists, our contract with you.
- Email and your answers on the form. Which exam, when, your level, what worries you, what you want. Used to send one email when the full mock opens and to decide what to build. Not shared, not sold. Legal basis: consent; withdraw by emailing us and we delete the row.
- IP address. Kept with the practice record to limit free practices per day and to stop abuse. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
Where it is processed
Our servers run on Cloudflare (EU and UK data centres). The speech and marking models run on Microsoft Azure in Sweden. No data goes outside the EU/UK and the United States other than through Cloudflare’s standard contractual terms.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to our use of it. Email hello@speakpass.co.uk. You can complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland or the ICO in the UK.
Children
