Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-03-14

This Privacy Policy describes how AnswerReady / JAM Coach handles information when you use the app on iPhone, iPad, and macOS.

Overview

AnswerReady is a structured speaking-practice app for interviews and meetings. The app is designed to keep recordings private by default and store practice data in app-controlled storage unless you explicitly use cloud-backed features.

Information We Handle

Information stored on your device

When you use the app, it may store the following locally on your device:

audio or video practice recordings
session metadata such as scenario, framework, duration, pacing, and completion results
saved session titles and notes
transcripts and transcript-derived feedback when speech-based processing succeeds
progress history, weekly consistency, streak, and review-funnel state
reminder preferences and some permission state

Saved sessions and recordings are intended to remain available until you delete them from the app.

Information used only if you enable optional features

Speech recognition

If you enable speech-based transcript feedback, the app may use Apple speech technologies to generate transcripts. Depending on Apple platform behavior and your device settings, speech processing may involve Apple services.

Cloud coaching

If you:

have access to Pro coaching,
explicitly allow cloud coaching, and
request coaching for a session,

the app may send the following to the coaching backend:

transcript text
original prompt text
selected scenario/framework context
objective feedback metrics
RevenueCat app user identifier for entitlement verification

Cloud coaching requests are processed through the production backend at:

https://answerready-coaching-worker.androidoine.workers.dev

The backend may call:

OpenAI, to generate the structured coaching response
RevenueCat, to verify that your Pro entitlement is active

Raw audio and raw video recordings are not uploaded for cloud coaching.

Subscription information

Purchases and subscription status are handled through Apple and RevenueCat. RevenueCat may process an anonymous app user identifier and entitlement state so the app can determine whether Pro features are available.

How We Use Information

We use the information handled by the app to:

run the core practice loop
store and replay your saved sessions
generate objective feedback
generate transcript-based feedback when enabled
provide cloud coaching when explicitly requested and permitted
restore purchases and verify Pro access
support reminders, progress history, and review prompts

We do not sell your personal information.

We only share information with service providers when required to run optional features you choose to use:

Apple for platform services such as purchases, speech features, notifications, and in-app review prompts
RevenueCat for subscription and entitlement verification
OpenAI through the coaching backend, only for transcript-based cloud coaching requests you explicitly trigger

Retention

Locally stored sessions, recordings, transcripts, and notes remain on your device until deleted or removed by app lifecycle events.
Temporary files used for processing may be cleaned up automatically.
Backend providers may retain request data according to their own policies and your service configuration.

Your Choices

You can:

choose Audio Mode or Video Mode
deny or revoke microphone, camera, speech, and notification permissions
avoid cloud coaching entirely and keep using the local practice loop
delete saved sessions from the app
manage or cancel subscriptions through Apple

Children

AnswerReady is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app and services evolve. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above.
