Privacy Policy

Minute Hatch is built and maintained by Amenallah Hsoumi under Mighty Apps. In this policy, “Minute Hatch,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the Minute Hatch services.

This policy applies when you use minutehatch.com, the web practice experience, the Minute Hatch mobile app, or contact us about the service. It does not control third-party websites or services that have their own privacy policies.

Recordings created in the mobile app are stored on your device for playback and practice history. The web experience keeps relevant practice state and results in your browser. These local copies remain until you delete them, clear the applicable storage, or uninstall the app.

When you choose a feature that requires transcription or feedback, the recording is uploaded to Minute Hatch’s server. The audio is sent to ElevenLabs for speech-to-text transcription. The resulting transcript—together with information such as the topic, practice context, recording duration, and requested feedback mode—is sent to OpenAI or Microsoft Azure OpenAI to produce feedback.

The temporary audio copy on our server is deleted after transcription or after processing is permanently unsuccessful. Transcripts and analysis results are stored on our server so the request can be completed and its result returned. The AI request is configured not to use provider-side response storage where that option is supported.

We use information to:

• provide recording, transcription, AI feedback, role-play, and practice-history features;
• personalize prompts, onboarding, plans, and the practice experience;
• process, verify, restore, and attribute subscriptions and purchases;
• measure acquisition campaigns and understand which pages and features are useful;
• diagnose errors, improve usability, develop features, and maintain service performance;
• protect the service, enforce limits, detect fraud or abuse, and secure transactions;
• respond to support or privacy requests; and
• comply with legal obligations and protect our users, rights, and service.

We disclose information to service providers only as needed for the purposes described in this policy. The main providers used by Minute Hatch are:

• ElevenLabs — Speech-to-text transcription of recordings submitted for analysis.
• OpenAI — AI analysis of transcripts, speaking context, and related practice information when this provider is configured.
• Microsoft Azure OpenAI — AI analysis of transcripts, speaking context, and related practice information when this provider is configured.
• PostHog — Product analytics and mobile session replay used to understand usage and improve the service.
• AppsFlyer — Mobile attribution, campaign measurement, deep linking, and purchase-event measurement.
• Apple and Google — App distribution, in-app purchases, subscription management, and platform security services.
• Vercel — Website hosting, performance measurement, and website analytics.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to protect people or the service, or in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. If a business transfer occurs, information may be transferred subject to applicable law.

We do not display third-party advertising and do not sell personal information for money. Mobile attribution activity may be considered “tracking,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some laws. On iOS, you may decline the App Tracking Transparency request; declining limits access to the device’s advertising identifier but does not disable all first-party or aggregate analytics.

• Local recordings, preferences, and practice information remain on your device or in your browser until you delete them, clear storage, or uninstall the app.
• Audio uploaded to our server is kept temporarily while transcription is attempted, then deleted after successful transcription or terminal failure cleanup.
• Server-side transcripts and analysis results are retained for as long as reasonably needed to provide and maintain the service, resolve issues, protect the service, or meet legal obligations, unless you request deletion and no exception applies.
• Subscription, transaction, security, and support records are retained for legitimate business, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, and legal purposes.
• Analytics and attribution providers retain information according to our settings, contracts, and their applicable retention policies.

Because Minute Hatch does not currently require an account, some information is associated with device-scoped, transaction, or recording identifiers rather than your name or email. This can affect our ability to locate information unless you provide the relevant identifier.

• Microphone: deny or revoke microphone access in your device or browser settings. Recording features will not work without it.
• Tracking: decline or change iOS tracking permission in Settings. You can also limit cookies or clear site data using browser controls.
• Notifications: decline or disable optional local notifications in device settings.
• Local data: delete individual recordings where the app provides that control, clear browser storage, or uninstall the app to remove local app data.
• Subscriptions: manage or cancel through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.
• Privacy requests: contact us to ask about access, correction, deletion, or other applicable rights. Include relevant recording, device, or transaction details if available, but never send us your password or full payment-card information.

Where a legal basis is required, we process information as necessary to provide the service you request, based on your consent, for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving Minute Hatch, and to comply with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time, but doing so does not affect processing already completed.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information; withdraw consent; or appeal a decision about a request. You may also have a right to complain to your local data-protection authority. Residents of certain U.S. states may have rights to know, delete, correct, or opt out of certain disclosures and to receive equal service without unlawful discrimination.

These rights may be limited by applicable law. We may need to verify your request and may retain information when required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or establishing or defending legal claims.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including encrypted network transport and app-integrity controls. No system can guarantee absolute security, so please use care when choosing what to record or submit.

We and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries that may have different data-protection laws from your country. Where required, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms and contractual protections.

Minute Hatch is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We may update this policy as Minute Hatch or applicable law changes. We will publish the updated policy here and revise the effective date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice when required.
