Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 08 Oct, 2026

Welcome to SpeakTale ("Platform", "we", "us", or "our"), operated by GIMLI TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED. SpeakTale turns any printed book or notebook into an AI-powered learning experience: a lightweight AI browser adds a live AI assistants over the physical product with AI assistants tied to that exact title, auto-correction of handwritten notebooks using OCR, question-bank practice and teacher tools — with no change to how books are written, designed or printed.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard information when you use our website (speaktale.com), our demo / join-network forms, and our mobile applications on Android and iOS through which students, teachers, publishers and school admins use the bundled AI experience.

1. Information We Collect

We collect various types of information in connection with the services we provide:

a. Personal Information

Business contact information (name, work email, phone, organisation, role) shared via demo, know-more and join-network forms
End-user account information (name, email / phone, password or OTP login, class / subject / school where provided)
Profile information (profile picture, preferences, language)
Learning interactions: questions asked to AI assistants, explanations viewed, practice / drill / mock attempts, step-by-step solutions used, progress and accuracy analytics
Notebook images and handwritten pages uploaded or photographed for OCR auto-correction, and correction results
Title PDFs and catalog metadata shared by printers / publishers to activate a title (including titles kept private to a publisher)
Support messages sent to contact@speaktale.com

b. Payment Information

SpeakTale is a usage-based, per-copy value-add bundled by printers with print orders, with no upfront cost. Where online payment is taken, it is processed by a PCI-DSS compliant third-party gateway. We do not store full card / UPI credentials on our servers; we retain only payment metadata needed for invoicing and reconciliation (status, amount, date, invoice / order reference). Most B2B orders are invoiced directly to the printer / publisher / school customer.

c. Technical Information

Device information (IP address, browser type, operating system)
Usage data (pages visited, features used, session duration)
Cookies and similar tracking technologies

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To activate titles (select or upload a PDF, go live in under 10 minutes) and link QR / barcode copies to the correct AI assistants
To provide explanations, answers, practice, drills, mocks and step-by-step solutions grounded in that exact book
To run OCR auto-correction of handwritten notebooks and surface results to students and teachers
To provide teacher controls, topic-level progress analytics on accuracy and speed, and curriculum-aligned support
To process transactions through our payment gateway
To improve and personalize user experience
To develop new features and services
To communicate with users and partners
To monitor and analyze usage patterns
To prevent fraud and ensure security
To comply with legal obligations

3. Data Ownership and Storage

Title PDFs and book content remain the intellectual property of the publisher / rights holder. SpeakTale processes them only to provide the AI assistants. Titles marked private are hosted in a private repository and are not made searchable in the public AI browser. Anonymised and aggregated learning analytics (such as topic-level accuracy and usage patterns) may be used by us to operate, improve and promote the service, in accordance with applicable law and this Policy.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information in the following circumstances:

With your printer / publisher / school: the B2B customer that bundled your copy gets relevant usage and progress data for their own titles / students only (for example, teacher dashboards for their classes)
Service Providers: with vendors who help operate our Platform such as hosting, analytics, messaging (including WhatsApp intake of PDFs), form hosting (Tally) and app distribution — excluding full payment credentials which are handled by the payment gateway
Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

5. Payment Processing

All online payment data is processed by a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway partner. We do not store or process complete card / UPI credentials on our servers. We only retain payment metadata necessary for invoicing and reconciliation. B2B per-copy orders are normally invoiced directly.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

Right to access your data
Right to correct inaccuracies
Right to request deletion
Right to restrict processing
Right to data portability
Right to object to processing

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your country, where data protection laws may differ.

9. Children's Privacy

Our K-12 solution is used by school students, including children. Where the end user is a child, the school / parent / legal guardian must provide consent and supervise use. Teachers and school admins can view and track AI usage for their own subjects and grades. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child without such school / parental authorisation. If you believe a child has shared data without consent, contact us at contact@speaktale.com and we will take appropriate steps.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page.
