Privacy Policy

Phrasa is a local-first teleprompter for iPhone and iPad. Your scripts and settings stay on your device. This release does not include a Phrasa account, cloud sync, ads, tracking, or payments. When you use optional voice following, recognition stays on device when Apple Speech supports it; otherwise Apple services may process the audio. Phrasa and developer servers never receive audio or transcripts.

This policy covers the public Phrasa website and the Phrasa app for iPhone and iPad. It is written in plain language so you can understand how data is handled. It is not legal advice and is not a certification under any particular privacy framework.

The Phrasa website publishes product information and legal pages only. It does not host a browser teleprompter, script library, sign-in, or support form. We do not set advertising cookies or run analytics pixels on these pages. Hosting providers may process standard server logs (such as IP address, user agent, and request path) to operate the site.

Scripts, folders, tags, outlines, reader settings, resume state, and rehearsal recaps are stored in a local database on your device. Library, editing, speed prompting, import, export, and backup work without an account or network connection.

Deleting the app, or deleting individual scripts in the library, removes that local data from that device according to the operating system and app controls. There is no Phrasa-operated cloud copy to recover from after local deletion.

Voice following is optional. If you turn it on, Phrasa requests Microphone and Speech Recognition permission so it can listen while you read and advance the prompter.

Recognition uses Apple Speech frameworks. Recognition stays on device when Apple Speech supports it; otherwise Apple services may process the audio under Apple’s terms and privacy practices. Phrasa and developer servers never receive audio or transcripts.

Phrasa uses recognized words only in the moment to follow your place in the script. The app does not store speech audio as a library of recordings for later review.

If you deny microphone or speech permission, voice mode stops. You can keep presenting with speed mode, and you can change permissions later in system Settings.

Imports (for example TXT, Markdown, or PDF), single-script exports, and full-library backups are user-initiated. You choose the files and destinations through the system share sheet or Files interfaces. Phrasa does not silently upload those files to Phrasa servers.

• Create a Phrasa cloud account or offer remote library sync.
• Require sign-in to write, present, export, or back up.
• Include in-app purchases, subscriptions, or payment processing.
• Show ads or sell your scripts for advertising.
• Ship third-party advertising or analytics trackers in the app.
• Train third-party AI models on your scripts via this product.
• Host a browser product that keeps a cloud script dashboard.

Local data remains on your device until you delete scripts, restore over them with a backup you choose, delete the app, or the operating system removes the app’s data. Website hosting logs, if any, are retained only as long as the host needs them to operate the site.

Because this release has no Phrasa cloud account, there is no separate cloud account-deletion request for server-side scripts. To remove data from a device, delete scripts in the app or remove the app.

Phrasa is a general-purpose presentation tool. It is not directed at children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a Phrasa account or cloud service.

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Material product changes—for example enabling cloud sync—will require an updated privacy description before that behavior ships.

For help with the app and self-service recovery steps, see Support. If you use Phrasa from the App Store, you can also use any support channel Apple shows for the listing.
