Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Depending on how you use Pressure, we may process:

• spoken practice audio
• transcript text generated from your spoken responses
• practice prompts, rep results, feedback, and session summaries
• app settings, progress, and Premium access status
• a random app device ID
• usage-limit and entitlement information
• optional feedback or issue reports you choose to send
• limited technical logs and diagnostic information

We try to collect and store only what is needed to operate, improve, protect, and support Pressure.

Microphone and audio

Pressure uses your microphone so you can complete spoken practice reps.

When you answer a prompt out loud, your audio may be sent to our backend and to transcription providers, including OpenAI, so we can turn your speech into text and generate feedback.

Pressure processes recordings to transcribe your spoken responses and generate practice feedback. Pressure Progress does not save raw recordings, but the app does save some practice text and feedback on your device, including Today’s Focus session history, saved Progress examples and temporary Foundations reviews, as described below. Information sent to service providers is also subject to their applicable processing and retention practices.

Transcription and AI feedback

Pressure uses transcripts, prompt context, and practice metadata to provide feedback after reps, generate session summaries, and suggest what to train next.

This may involve sending relevant text, prompts, transcripts, and metadata to AI service providers, including OpenAI. AI-generated feedback may be imperfect. It is intended for practice and self-improvement, not as professional, legal, medical, financial, career, or mental health advice.

Local app storage and device ID

Pressure may create a random app device ID and store it on your device. We use this ID to operate the app, manage usage limits, connect subscription access, prevent abuse, and keep your progress and Premium status working across our app and backend systems.

This ID is not intended to directly identify you by name.

Pressure stores settings, training state, practice results, completion history and Premium access status locally on your device. Local storage does not by itself mean that information is sent to our backend; transcription and AI processing are described above.

Today’s Focus keeps up to eight recent session records on your device, including transcripts and feedback. These records have no automatic age-based expiry. As new sessions are saved, only the eight most recent session records are retained.

Pressure Progress can save up to 1,500 examples containing scene context, original feedback and a transcript excerpt of up to 40 words. A short response may fit entirely within an excerpt. These examples have no automatic age-based expiry; older examples may be removed as the storage limit is reached.

Foundations also temporarily stores full transcripts and feedback for recent reviews. These reviews are limited to three sessions, a 24-hour age threshold and a storage-size limit. Cleanup occurs when the app next reads or writes the relevant storage, so expired reviews may remain on an inactive device until that happens. This 24-hour threshold does not apply to Today’s Focus session history, saved Progress examples or other local training history.

Purchases and subscriptions

If you subscribe, restore purchases, or use Premium features, Apple/App Store and RevenueCat may process purchase and subscription information.

We use RevenueCat to help determine whether your device has active Premium access and to sync that access with our backend systems. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

RevenueCat may receive a random app-generated device ID and Apple purchase or subscription state so Premium access can be managed without a Pressure account login.

Apple/App Store handles billing, payment processing, subscription management, cancellation, and refunds according to Apple’s policies.

Feedback reports

If you send feedback or report an issue, we may collect the reason for the report, app/device metadata, prompt identifiers, platform information, app version/build information, and any message you choose to write.

Prompt reports are designed to avoid sending audio, transcripts, or full prompt text. Optional written feedback may include whatever information you choose to type.

General feedback reports may include the category you select, any optional message you write, limited app context, and hashed request or device signals used for abuse prevention and rate limiting.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in spoken reps or optional feedback unless you want that information processed by Pressure and its service providers for app, feedback, or support features.

Logs, limits, and diagnostics

Pressure uses operational logs and diagnostics to keep the service reliable, investigate errors, prevent abuse, and improve the product.

Our backend may store operational information such as usage counters, free-limit markers, Premium access cache, feedback reports, generated prompt-audio cache, rate-limit data, and technical logs.

Generated prompt audio may be cached so the app can load spoken prompts faster and reduce repeated generation costs.

Generated text-to-speech audio may be cached temporarily, generally for minutes and up to 30 days for static prompt audio.

Pressure may use first-party aggregate app analytics to understand how the app is used. When Analytics V2 is enabled, Pressure also sends activity events and a separate random installation identifier to our analytics backend. Events describe app visits, onboarding, training activity and outcomes, summary views, reminders, and purchase or restore result categories, together with timing and limited app/device metadata. The backend converts installation and related activity identifiers into keyed pseudonymous identifiers before storing individual events. We use these records to produce aggregate reports about product use and return activity.

Analytics V2 is pseudonymous, not anonymous or aggregate-only at collection. Its event schema excludes raw audio, transcripts, prompt text, AI feedback text, user-written feedback messages, RevenueCat CustomerInfo, purchase transaction IDs and secrets. The analytics installation identifier is separate from the identifier used for subscription access and usage limits.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use Pressure app data for third-party advertising tracking.

Third-party services

Pressure uses third-party services to operate the app and website. These may include:

• OpenAI for transcription, text-to-speech, AI feedback, summaries, and scenario generation
• Cloudflare for backend hosting, KV storage, caching, logs, rate limits, counters, and security
• RevenueCat for subscription status and Premium entitlement management
• Apple/App Store for billing, subscriptions, cancellation, refunds, and purchase management
• Vercel for website hosting and analytics
• Formspree for website forms, such as email update or contact forms

These providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Data storage and retention

Pressure stores some information locally on your device and some information in backend systems or third-party services.

We aim to minimize stored practice data and avoid keeping more information than we need to operate and improve Pressure. Some information may be kept for longer where needed for security, fraud prevention, support, legal compliance, billing, subscription access, usage limits, analytics, diagnostics, or product improvement.

Optional feedback records and aggregate analytics counters may be retained for up to 180 days. Premium usage, fair-use, and rate-limit counters may be retained as needed to enforce limits, prevent abuse, and operate Premium access.

When Analytics V2 is enabled, its events become eligible for deletion 90 days after the backend receives them. Installation records become eligible for deletion 180 days after the backend last receives a new event for that installation. Scheduled cleanup removes eligible records in batches; processing delays or failures can cause records to remain longer. These periods are separate from retention for optional feedback, legacy aggregate counters, subscription information and operational records.

Third-party services may retain information according to their own policies.

Your choices and deletion requests

You can stop using Pressure at any time. You can also delete the app from your device, which may remove locally stored app data from that device.

In Settings, “Delete saved examples” removes saved Progress quotes, scenes and feedback, together with temporary Foundations full reviews. Recorded Progress results and findings remain. “Reset Pressure Progress” also removes Pressure Progress results and proof history, including stored Foundations attempt records.

Neither control deletes Today’s Focus session records, including their transcripts and feedback, or resets practice difficulty, other training history, access limits or your subscription. These controls do not delete backend analytics, operational records or information held by service providers. Future practice can create new results and examples.

Pressure does not currently offer a full account dashboard or in-app account deletion flow.

If you have a privacy question or deletion request, contact us at privacy@pressure.app. We can help with information controlled by Pressure, but data processed by third-party services may also be subject to those providers’ policies and retention practices.

Children’s privacy

Pressure is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents or guardians can contact us at privacy@pressure.app with any concerns.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date above. Your continued use of Pressure after changes means you accept the updated policy.
