What we never do

Come Have A Chat never listens to you in the background and never records you without you asking for it. We show no ads and use no advertising trackers. We never sell your information, and we never hand it to anyone for their own purposes. The services listed below are the ones we use to run the app.

Microphone and spoken feedback

Recording is entirely optional and off by default. In Group mode, instead of typing the group's feedback, you can choose to record it by tapping the record button. Nothing is recorded until you tap it, and never automatically.

When you stop the recording, the audio is sent to a transcription service to be turned into text. We do not keep the audio once the text comes back. The service that transcribes it handles the audio under its own policies, which we do not control.

The text that comes back is saved with that speaker's session, the same way typed feedback is, so it can appear in your history and in the feedback document. You can play the recording back on your device to check the text before you move on. Typing feedback remains available at all times and is never required.

Feedback summaries

After a speaker's feedback is finished, the feedback text for that turn, whether it was typed by the group or transcribed from a recording, is sent to an AI model, along with the speaker's first name, the prompt they spoke on and the other participants' first names. The model writes a short summary of that feedback.

The summary is saved with that speaker's session in the same way the feedback itself is, so it can appear in your history and in the feedback document. If the summary can't be produced, the session is saved without one and the feedback text is unaffected. The AI provider handles what we send under its own policies, which we do not control.

What gets saved when you practise

The app saves a record of each practice session so you can see your history: the prompt you were shown, the timer length, whether you finished, any ratings you gave yourself, any note you chose to write, which challenge you took on, and the date and time. What you said during your timed turn is not part of that record. Your speaking turn is never recorded. The only thing that can be recorded is the group feedback discussion afterwards, and only if someone chooses to tap record on that screen.

These records are stored on your own device, and also synced to a secure database so your history isn't lost if you clear your browser or switch devices. This works even without an account, via an anonymous identity, no name or email involved.

If you add an email

Creating an account is optional. If you do, we store your email address and, if you choose to share it, your first name. Your email is used only to send you sign-in links and codes, and emails you explicitly ask for (like a group session's feedback document). No marketing, no newsletters.

Usage information

We record basic anonymous usage events, for example, that a session started or ended and which settings it used, to understand how the app is used and make it better. These events don't include anything you say or write.

Services we rely on

The app is built and hosted on Lovable, which also provisions the database and runs the system that sends sign-in emails. The database itself runs on Supabase. Emails you ask for, like a group session's feedback document, are delivered by Resend. Spoken feedback you choose to record is transcribed through Lovable's AI gateway, which passes the audio to OpenAI's speech to text model to turn it into words. The audio is not kept by us after the text comes back. Feedback text is sent through the same Lovable AI gateway to an OpenAI language model, which writes the short summary described above.

If you want to know whether something specific is involved, ask us at hello@comehaveachat.com and we'll tell you.

Every time you open the app, your browser also makes a few requests to third parties on its own. We list them here so they are not hidden. The page loads its fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google's servers when the page opens, and Google sees your IP address as part of that. This happens on every visit, before you do anything in the app. Lovable's hosting also injects a small error reporting script that sends the details of runtime errors to Sentry. The only thing we deliberately send there is what is needed to fix bugs, but that does include some information about the device and browser that the error came from.

Removing your data

Email hello@comehaveachat.com and we'll delete your account and practice history. If you have been practising without an account, there is no email or name attached to your records, so we have no way to identify them as yours. Clearing your browser data on the device you practise on removes them from that device.

Questions about any of this: hello@comehaveachat.com.
