How VizUp handles your data
Short version: we don't collect any. Everything stays on your device.
Last updated: May 4, 2026
1. What we collect
Nothing transmits off your device. Your name, photo (if you set one), career stage, primary goal, daily goal minutes, saved phrases, saved scenarios, streak, and quiz progress are stored in your iPhone's local UserDefaults database. None of it is sent to a server, because VizUp doesn't have one.
2. Permissions we ask for
- Photos — only when you tap to set a profile picture. The image is shrunk to 512px and stored locally; we never upload it.
- Microphone — only during practice drills, used to record your spoken response so the app can give feedback. The audio is processed on-device by Apple's Speech framework and is not retained after the session.
- Speech Recognition — same scope as above. Uses Apple's on-device recognizer where possible.
- Notifications — only if you opt in via the toggle in Profile. We use them to send a daily reminder if you've enabled them. No content from your phone is sent anywhere.
3. What we don't do
- No analytics SDKs (no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no PostHog, no Sentry, no anything).
- No advertising. No tracking pixels. No third-party trackers of any kind.
- No account creation. There's no login, no cloud backup, no sync.
- No selling, sharing, or licensing of user data. We have no data to sell.
4. Subscriptions
If you subscribe to VizUp Pro, the purchase is handled entirely by Apple's StoreKit. Apple receives the payment and tells our app whether your subscription is active. We never see your payment information, billing address, or Apple ID.
To manage or cancel your subscription, go to Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your iPhone.
5. Children's privacy
VizUp is designed for adult professionals navigating workplace communication. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. (We don't knowingly collect data from anyone — see Section 1.)
6. Deleting your data
Open the app, go to Profile, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Delete All My Data". This wipes your profile, saved items, and progress from your device immediately. Because nothing was ever sent to a server, deletion is final and complete the moment you tap.
Uninstalling the app from your iPhone has the same effect.
7. Changes to this policy
If we ever change how the app handles data — for example, if we someday add a server-side feature — we'll update this page and notify users in-app before the change takes effect. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the change.
