Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Spkr ("we," "our," or "us"), a service operated by No Friction Labs, LLC. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use our text-to-podcast conversion service across mobile, web, and API surfaces.

By using Spkr, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

• Performance of Contract: Processing your content, generating audio files, managing your account and subscription, and providing customer support
• Legitimate Interests: Improving our services, analyzing usage patterns, ensuring security, preventing fraud, and protecting our legal rights
• Consent: Sending marketing communications (you may withdraw consent at any time)

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

AI and Content Processing

Content submitted to Spkr is processed solely for the purpose of generating audio content for you. We do not use your content to train our own models. Where third-party AI providers are used, processing is governed by contractual data protection obligations, and content is not used for model training except as necessary to provide the service.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party services that help us operate our platform (AI processing, cloud storage)
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Regular security audits and updates
• Access controls and authentication measures
• Secure cloud infrastructure

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, we remove your personal data within 30 days. Content you upload for conversion can be deleted by you at any time.

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data
• Data Export: Request an export of your data by emailing support@spkr-app.com (provided within 30 days)

Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. California residents have rights under CCPA/CPRA; we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

International Transfers

We operate primarily from the United States. When information is transferred to other countries, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, data processing agreements, or other appropriate safeguards to protect your data.

Cookies and Tracking

We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of our service. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately.
