Talk Kindly
Privacy policy
Effective October 2, 2026
Talk Kindly is made by Venshares Corp. This policy covers the Talk Kindly iPhone app and this website.
What the app stores
The app keeps a few settings on your phone: the two names, icon and color choices, talk length, turn length, layout, whether the end melody plays, how many talks you have finished, whether the feedback prompt has already been shown, whether an App Store review has been requested, whether the Plus offer has already been shown, and the date of the next talk if you set one. If you buy Plus or Pro, it also keeps that unlock, any rules you edit, saved setups, and, for Pro, the private list of pairs. That information stays on the device. There is no account and no Talk Kindly server.
Words spoken during a talk are not typed in and are not saved.
What leaves the phone
The app does not send anything by itself, and it has no analytics and no advertising.
A second phone. If you turn on sharing, or join a nearby talk, the two phones exchange the names, the timer, and the actions you tap (whose turn it is, pause, resume, end). That exchange stays in the room, over the local network. It is not uploaded.
Calendar. If you choose to add the next talk, iOS opens its own calendar editor. Talk Kindly does not read your calendar and does not share the event.
Feedback. If you choose to rate the app and send a note, that email goes through your mail app. It is kept only to reply.
Purchases. Plus and Pro are one-time purchases. Apple handles payment and keeps the receipt. Talk Kindly does not receive your payment details. The unlock is remembered on this phone so it still works offline.
This website is a static page. It does not use cookies, accounts, or analytics. If you email for support, that message is kept only to answer you.
Children
Talk Kindly is for adults. It is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new date will appear at the top of this page.
