Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 11, 2026

Sayspoke is a social app where people share personal Moments with mutual Adds, publish public Finds through Finds creator profiles, participate in Communities, and back visible content with specific Backing Tags instead of generic likes.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Sayspoke collects, how we use it, how we protect it, and what choices you have.

Sayspoke is currently in open beta. Access is open to eligible users, but features, privacy controls, analytics, safety tools, and data practices may change as the product develops. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date above and provide additional notice when required.

1. Who this policy applies to

This policy applies when you use Sayspoke, including when you:

Create or manage an account
Create or manage a normal Sayspoke profile
Post or view Moments
Create, manage, follow, or view a Finds creator profile
Publish, view, save, or interact with Finds
Join or participate in Communities
Upload photos or videos
Back visible content with Backing Tags
Leave Notes or replies
Send or receive Add requests
Follow Finds creator profiles
Send private messages
Use profile, privacy, trust, reporting, moderation, or account controls
Visit Sayspoke pages that use cookies, local storage, analytics, or operational measurement

2. Information you give us

We collect information you choose to provide, including:

Account information, such as your name, email address, authentication method, and information associated with Google sign-in if you use Google login
Age-eligibility information, such as the date of birth you enter during signup to confirm that you are old enough to use Sayspoke
Normal profile information, such as your display name, username, profile picture, bio, location text, privacy settings, message settings, Add-request settings, and other profile details
Finds creator profile information, such as a creator handle, creator display name, creator profile photo, description, focus, links, business information, and local-discovery details
Content you submit, such as Moments, Finds, Community posts, captions, descriptions, photos, videos, Backing Tags, Notes, replies, and saved content
Media you upload, such as photos, videos, thumbnails, profile images, creator avatars, and related file metadata
Communications you send to us, such as reports, appeals, safety messages, support requests, feedback, and other correspondence
Account-lifecycle requests, such as account pausing, deletion, restoration, or support requests
Payment, tax, or payout information if Sayspoke offers creator monetization and you choose to participate

Sayspoke does not store your full date of birth after using it to confirm signup eligibility. We may store limited verification facts, such as:

When age eligibility was checked
The minimum age confirmed
The verification method used
Whether you were under 18 at signup

Do not submit private, sensitive, confidential, or legally restricted information unless you are comfortable providing it to Sayspoke and, where applicable, sharing it under the selected content or Community rules.

3. Information created when you use Sayspoke

When you use Sayspoke, we may collect or generate information such as:

Content you create, edit, remove, save, view, or interact with
Backing Tags you give or receive
Notes, replies, reactions to Notes or replies, and other engagement activity
Add requests, mutual Add connections, creator follows, Community memberships, and related relationship activity
Find views, watch activity, completion activity, saves, shares, Backings, and other product signals
Discovery and recommendation signals, such as which public Finds you view, watch, save, back, follow, skip, or report
Device, browser, IP address, approximate location, log, diagnostic, security, and performance information
Pseudonymous or aggregated operational signals used to understand whether the service is active and functioning
Preferences, such as message sound settings, feed video settings, desktop layout settings, cookie choices, and other interface preferences
Open-beta signup state, age-eligibility status, login status, email-verification status, and account status
Moderation, trust, safety, reporting, administrative, and abuse-prevention records
Advertising and monetization information associated with eligible public Find surfaces, such as sponsored-placement delivery, Find impressions, video-ad progress, invalid activity, and creator revenue calculations

We use these signals to operate Sayspoke, provide personal Moment feeds, personalize public Find discovery, manage creator subscriptions, support Communities, prevent abuse, debug issues, measure performance, and understand whether Sayspoke is working.

Personal Moments are not used as public Find-discovery candidates or advertising inventory.

4. Personal profiles, Finds creator profiles, and Communities

Sayspoke has distinct personal, public creator, and Community surfaces.

Normal Sayspoke profiles and Adds

A normal Sayspoke profile represents a person’s personal identity.

An Add is an approved, mutual connection between two normal Sayspoke profiles. Sending an Add request does not create a connection. When an Add request is approved, both profiles become connected.

Users may disable incoming Add requests. Blocking or removing an Add may end or override the connection.

Add relationships and Finds creator follows are separate systems. Adding someone does not automatically follow their Finds creator profile, and following a Finds creator profile does not create an Add or expose personal Moments.

Moments

Outside Communities, Moments are personal posts visible only to:

The person who posted the Moment
People who are currently mutual Adds with that person

Personal Moments are not publicly discoverable. They do not appear in public Find discovery, search-engine sitemaps, logged-out pages, public recommendations, public creator feeds, or advertising inventory.

Removing an Add or blocking a person may remove their future access to personal Moments. This cannot prevent someone who previously had access from retaining a screenshot, copy, or other record.

Finds and Finds creator profiles

A Finds creator profile is a separate public publishing identity.

Following a Finds creator profile is a one-way subscription to that creator’s public Finds. It does not create a personal Add relationship.

Global Finds are public creator posts and may appear in:

Public Finds feeds
Personalized discovery
Creator-following feeds
Local discovery
Search and Backing Tag collections
Public Finds creator profiles
Public sharing previews
Search-engine results
Sponsored or monetized Find surfaces

A creator’s normal profile information, personal Add relationships, and personal Moments are not automatically included on the creator profile.

Communities

Communities are the only Sayspoke surface where Moments and Finds may appear together for people who are not mutual Adds.

Community content is governed by the Community’s visibility, membership, posting, approval, and moderation rules.

A Moment posted in a Community does not become a globally discoverable personal Moment.

A Find posted specifically in a Community does not automatically enter global Find discovery unless Sayspoke provides and the creator uses a separate global-publication action.

Public Communities may be visible to non-members where the Community’s rules allow it. Private or membership-restricted Communities are visible only as permitted by their access rules.

Moments do not become advertising inventory merely because they appear in a Community that also contains Finds.

5. Visible information and interactions

Depending on the feature, relationship, privacy setting, and Community rules, other people may see information such as:

Normal profile details that your settings allow them to see
Whether an Add request is pending, accepted, declined, removed, or unavailable where the relevant interface displays that status
Personal Moments when the viewer is a mutual Add
Public Finds and Finds creator profiles
Public creator-follower counts or relationships where the feature displays them
Community content that the Community permits the viewer to access
Backing Tags, Notes, replies, saves, and other engagement information where the relevant feature makes them visible
Public Find performance information, sponsorship disclosures, or creator information

Some information may remain stored after you change a setting or remove content, including where the information:

Was already viewed or copied by another person
Was included in a report, appeal, or safety investigation
Is contained in system logs or backups
Is needed to prevent fraud, abuse, or policy evasion
Must be preserved for legal, security, financial, or operational reasons

6. Private messages

Sayspoke private messages are designed to use client-side encryption for message text.

We may store:

Encrypted message content
Conversation and participant records
Message timestamps
Delivery and read status
Conversation state
Message-key records
Presence or typing state
Block and message-privacy settings
Abuse-prevention and security records

Encryption of message text does not necessarily conceal all message metadata, such as who participated in a conversation or when messages were sent.

During beta, do not use Sayspoke private messages for highly sensitive, emergency, financial, medical, legal, or confidential information. Encryption and key-management systems may continue to change as the product develops.

7. Location and place information

Sayspoke may let you add, search, display, or use location-related information for normal profiles, Finds creator profiles, Moments, Finds, Communities, or local discovery.

This may include:

Location text you enter
Place names
City, region, or country
Map and place-search results
Approximate device or network location
Location metadata connected to content you submit
Local-discovery settings for creator profiles

We may use location-related information to support:

Local Find discovery
Maps and place features
Content context
Search and recommendations
Community features
Safety review
Fraud and abuse prevention

Do not add a precise location to content unless you are comfortable with eligible viewers seeing it under the applicable relationship, publication, or Community rules.

8. Video, media, and content processing

Sayspoke may process uploaded media to provide the service. This may include:

Uploading and storing media files
Creating thumbnails, previews, and processed video versions
Reading file and media metadata
Measuring file size, format, duration, and processing status
Running video-processing jobs
Diagnosing failed uploads or playback issues
Reviewing media connected to reports, safety concerns, intellectual-property complaints, or abuse prevention

Sayspoke may use automated or model-assisted tools to:

Categorize content
Suggest, evaluate, or organize Backing Tags
Identify media or content type
Improve public Find recommendations
Detect possible spam, abuse, or policy violations
Assist human moderation
Improve product quality

Automated tools may be inaccurate. They are not intended to replace human review where human judgment is appropriate.

9. Analytics and operational measurement

Sayspoke uses both necessary first-party operational measurement and, with consent, optional Google Analytics.

Necessary operational measurement

Sayspoke may collect limited first-party information needed to:

Keep the service operating
Measure whether pages and services are responding
Diagnose failures
Prevent fraud and abuse
Understand active usage at an operational level
Protect account and session security

This may include page requests, timestamps, browser information, approximate country-level location, and pseudonymous identifiers derived from account or network information.

Where information is pseudonymous rather than anonymous, Sayspoke treats it accordingly.

Optional Google Analytics

Google Analytics is optional and is not loaded until you grant analytics consent through Sayspoke’s cookie controls.

When enabled, Google Analytics may collect information such as:

Pages viewed
Time and navigation patterns
Referring pages
Browser and device information
Approximate location based on IP address
Interaction and usage events
Cookies or similar identifiers

We use this information to measure traffic, understand feature usage, diagnose product issues, improve onboarding, and make Sayspoke easier to use.

Google may process this information according to its own terms and policies:

How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services

You can also learn about Google Analytics privacy controls here:

Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
