Oratly Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Oratly collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Oratly mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Oratly is operated by Bibhuti Juyal, an individual based in Texas, United States ("Oratly," "we," "us," or "our").

By using Oratly, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Who Oratly Is For

Oratly is intended for users who are at least 18 years old.

The Service is designed primarily for adults who want to practice workplace communication and speaking skills.

Oratly is not directed to children or minors, and users under 18 are not permitted to create or use an Oratly account.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use Oratly.

Account and Profile Information

When you create or use an Oratly account, we may collect information such as:

• your name;
• email address;
• account identifier;
• profile information you choose to provide;
• profile image, if you choose to provide one; and
• account settings and preferences.

Video and Audio Recordings

When you use Oratly's speaking-practice features, you may create video and audio recordings.

These recordings may be uploaded to and stored by Oratly so that we can provide the requested practice and feedback features.

Recordings may contain your:

• image;
• voice;
• spoken words;
• surroundings visible or audible in the recording; and
• other information you choose to include while recording.

You should avoid including sensitive or confidential information in your recordings unless you are comfortable having that information processed as described in this Privacy Policy.

Transcripts

Oratly may process the audio from your recordings to create a text transcript of what you said.

The transcript may be stored and processed as part of providing your communication review and feedback.

Communication Analysis and Feedback

Oratly may generate and store information derived from your practice sessions, including:

• communication scores;
• Directness feedback;
• Structure feedback;
• Conciseness feedback;
• observations about what worked;
• areas for improvement;
• alternative ways to begin or structure a response; and
• other automated communication analysis.

Practice and Usage Information

We may collect information about your activity within Oratly that is necessary to operate app features, such as:

• practice sessions;
• recording dates and times;
• practice type or scenario;
• completion activity;
• session duration;
• progress or practice history; and
• identifiers associated with recordings or practice sessions.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information:

Directly From You

For example, when you:

• create an account;
• provide your name or profile information;
• record a speaking response;
• upload or submit content;
• contact support; or
• provide feedback.

Automatically Through Your Use of the Service

Certain information is created or recorded when you use Oratly, such as practice-session information, recording identifiers, timestamps, and other information needed to operate the Service.

Through Service Providers

We use third-party technology and infrastructure providers to operate portions of Oratly.

For example, service providers may assist with:

• authentication;
• database hosting;
• file storage;
• transcription;
• artificial-intelligence processing;
• application infrastructure; and
• related technical operations.

4. How We Use Information

We use information collected through Oratly to:

• create and maintain your account;
• provide speaking-practice features;
• store and process your recordings;

• generate communication scores and feedback;
• display your practice reviews;

• diagnose and troubleshoot problems;
• protect the security and integrity of Oratly;
• respond to support requests and feedback;
• improve the functionality and quality of the Service;
• comply with applicable legal obligations; and
• enforce our Terms of Use.

We do not use your recordings to make employment decisions about you.

Oratly's communication feedback is intended for practice and educational purposes.

5. Recording, Transcription, and AI Processing

When you submit a recording for review, Oratly may process the recording and its audio through automated systems and third-party service providers.

This processing may include:

1. receiving and storing your recording;
2. processing or extracting audio from the recording;
3. converting speech into a text transcript;
4. analyzing the transcript and related practice information;
5. generating automated communication feedback; and
6. returning the resulting review to your Oratly account.

Automated processing may use artificial-intelligence technologies.

AI-generated feedback may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent and should not be treated as professional advice or as a guarantee of any workplace or career outcome.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may disclose information to third parties in the circumstances described below.

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies that help us operate Oratly, including providers of:

• cloud hosting;
• authentication;
• database services;
• file storage;
• transcription;
• artificial-intelligence processing; and
• other technical infrastructure.

These providers may process information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and subject to their applicable contractual and data-protection obligations.

We require service providers that process user data on our behalf to provide protections appropriate to the information they process.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• comply with applicable law, legal process, or lawful government requests;
• protect the rights, property, or safety of Oratly, our users, or others;
• investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our Terms; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Business Transfer

If Oratly is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, reorganization, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

7. Data Storage

Oratly uses third-party infrastructure providers to host and store information required to operate the Service.

This may include:

• account information;
• recordings;
• transcripts;
• practice-session information; and
• generated feedback.

Information may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

By using Oratly, you understand that information may be processed outside the jurisdiction in which you live, subject to applicable legal protections.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide and operate Oratly, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, and enforce our agreements.

Recordings

At launch, recordings submitted through Oratly may remain stored after your feedback has been generated.

Oratly does not currently promise automatic deletion of recordings after processing.

You may request deletion of your recordings or associated personal information by contacting us at:

support@oratly.io

Account Information

Account information may be retained for as long as your account remains active.

When your account is deleted, we will delete or de-identify personal information associated with your account unless retention is reasonably necessary or legally required.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups or system logs before being deleted through normal system processes.

9. Your Choices and Deletion Rights

You may contact us to:

• request access to personal information associated with your account;
• request correction of inaccurate account information;
• request deletion of recordings or other personal information;
• ask questions about how your information is used; or
• exercise privacy rights that may apply where you live.

Contact:

support@oratly.io

Where required by law, we may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

If Oratly provides an in-app account-deletion feature, you may also use that feature to initiate deletion of your account and associated information.

We may retain limited information where required by law or reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or enforcement of legal obligations.

10. Permissions

Oratly may request access to features on your device that are necessary for app functionality, such as:

• camera access for video practice;
• microphone access for recording your voice; and
• photo or media access if you choose a feature that requires it.

You can control device permissions through your device settings.

If you deny a permission required for a particular feature, that feature may not function.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by Oratly.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

12. Sensitive and Confidential Information

Oratly is intended for communication practice.

You should avoid recording or submitting information that you do not want processed or stored through the Service.

For example, avoid including:

• passwords;
• authentication codes;
• financial account information;
• Social Security numbers or similar government identifiers;
• confidential employer information;
• trade secrets;
• sensitive information about another person; or
• information you are prohibited from recording or disclosing.

13. Recording Other People

Oratly is primarily designed for you to practice your own speaking.

If another person's image, voice, or personal information is included in a recording, you are responsible for obtaining any consent required by applicable law before recording or submitting that content.

Recording and privacy laws vary by jurisdiction.

14. Children and Minors

Oratly is not intended for anyone under 18 years old.

We do not knowingly permit users under 18 to create accounts or use the Service.

If we learn that information has been collected from a person under 18 contrary to this policy, we may take steps to delete the information and terminate the associated account.

If you believe a minor has provided personal information to Oratly, contact:

support@oratly.io

15. No Sale of Personal Information

Oratly does not sell personal information for money.

We also do not use your recordings for third-party advertising.

If our practices change materially in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.

16. Third-Party Links and Services

Oratly may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services you choose to use.

17. Privacy Rights Based on Location

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may give you rights relating to your personal information.

These may include rights to:

• access personal information;
• correct inaccurate personal information;
• request deletion;
• obtain information about certain disclosures;
• restrict or object to certain processing; or
• appeal certain privacy decisions.

These rights are subject to applicable law and may not apply in every circumstance.

To submit a privacy request, contact:

support@oratly.io

We will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Oratly changes.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.

If changes are material, we may also provide notice through the Service, website, email, or another reasonable method.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
