Introduction

TalkMaze ("we", "our", "us") operates talkmaze.com and provides online 1-on-1 communication coaching for children. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users and the children in our care. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

We collect: parent/guardian first name, child's first name, email address, and phone number when you register for a free trial or subscribe to our communications. We also collect booking and session information through our scheduling platform (Teachworks), payment information through Stripe (for enrolled families), and audio/video recordings of coaching sessions for quality assurance, training, and progress tracking.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: schedule and deliver coaching sessions, send program updates and educational content via email, follow up on trial bookings, and improve our services. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Children's Privacy

TalkMaze serves children between the ages of 5 and 17. All accounts are created and managed by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately at hello@talkmaze.com.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may process your data:

Mailchimp (email communications) — mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

Teachworks (session scheduling) — teachworks.com/privacy

Each service has its own privacy policy governing their use of your data.

Session Recordings and AI Processing

By enrolling, parents/guardians consent to the recording of coaching sessions for quality assurance, training, and AI-powered summary generation. Recordings may be processed using secure artificial intelligence tools to automatically generate summaries for internal review, progress tracking, and program improvement. Recordings are not shared with third parties outside of these purposes.

Use of Name, Photo, and Video in Marketing

By enrolling, parents/guardians grant TalkMaze the right to use the child's name, photo, video recordings, and testimonials in marketing materials, websites, and promotional content without compensation. These promotional uses are distinct from internal recordings described above. Consent for promotional use may be withdrawn at any time by submitting a written request to hello@talkmaze.com.
