Trust
The short version: we use a child's voice to give them feedback, and nothing else.
Why a child speaks to Outloud
Outloud teaches speaking, so it has to listen. In the speaking panes a child records themselves out loud, and that recording is sent to our grading service, which scores how they read or spoke and sends the feedback back to the screen. That is the whole reason the recording exists, and the only thing it is used for.
The recording is stored only so grading can run, and isn't published, sold, or used to train anything a family hasn't been told about.
What we track, and why
- A child's spoken responses
- Recorded so the grading service can listen across the five dimensions and return feedback. Stored only as long as grading needs them.
- A position on the learning model
- Where the child sits across Accuracy, Pronunciation, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Content — so the next session is the right one.
- Progress a parent can see
- Plain-language summaries — “strong progress in pronunciation” — drawn from that position.
What we never do
- ✕No advertising, and no behavioural ad tracking of any kind
- ✕No selling or sharing of a child's voice or data
- ✕No using a child's recordings to train anything they haven't been told about
- ✕No location tracking, no third-party trackers riding along
Children, and a parent nearby
Outloud English is built for children, and we expect a parent or guardian to be alongside a young child using it — especially the first few times. A child's voice and progress belong to the family, and the controls that go with that live in the app.
This preview site — outloudenglish.com — is just that: a preview ahead of the July 2026 launch, not the full app. The handling described here is the posture the product is built around.
Who builds it
Outloud English is built by BlueberryML Ltd in London. For any question about how a child's data is handled, get in touch via blueberryml.com.
