Communicate Privacy Policy

Communicate is a completely free, ad-free communication web app from DEJ Software. No account is required. The app collects no usage analytics and does not send your typed messages, history, favorites, or settings to DEJ Software.

Your messages and browser storage

History, favorites, voice choice, dwell time, and other settings are saved in your browser on your device. The message you are currently composing is held in the open app; it is not automatically saved as a draft. Messages enter history when spoken with SPEAK. Suggestions and medication names are bundled with the app, so typing them does not perform an online lookup.

You can clear just your history at any time, keeping favorites. Clearing the browser’s site data removes saved messages, settings, and the files needed for offline access. Browser storage is not an encrypted vault; someone with access to your device or browser profile may be able to view saved information. Your browser or operating system controls its own backup and storage behavior.

Offline access and updates

The browser saves app files for offline use after an initial online visit. When the app loads online, it requests files from dejsoftware.com to receive updates. Offline speech requires a voice that works without an internet connection.

Speech and voice providers

When you choose SPEAK or enable letter or word echoes, the app passes that text to your browser or device’s speech service. Some voices operate locally; others use an online service and may send the text to that provider. The provider’s privacy practices apply to those voices. To use speech offline, choose a voice and test it with your internet connection disconnected.

Clipboard access

When you dwell on the current message, Communicate opens the COPY balloon. Keep holding until it fills to copy your displayed message to the clipboard. Empty messages are not copied. Your browser may ask for permission to both read and write the clipboard; that wording is controlled by the browser. Communicate only writes to the clipboard and never reads its contents. Your device controls clipboard storage, synchronization, and access by other apps.

Optional support and diagnostic email

On request, the app can compose a pre-addressed support email for your review and manual sending. The generated report contains speech availability and event information, voice counts, browser and platform details, error information, and timestamps. It does not include your typed message, history, or favorites. Nothing is emailed automatically. You decide whether to send it and what to include.

If you send an email or submit a support ticket, DEJ Software receives the contact information and contents you provide to respond to your request. Your email service and the support portal process that information under their own privacy policies.

Optional financial support and external links

The Support Communicate link opens Buy Me a Coffee only when you activate it. No payment form, widget, or tracking script from that service is embedded in the app. Support is optional and does not change app functionality. Payment and account information provided there is handled by Buy Me a Coffee and its payment providers under their own policies. Other external websites also apply their own privacy policies.

Website hosting

Online requests necessarily provide your IP address and request information to the website’s hosting and delivery providers. Those providers may maintain technical logs for operation and security. This is separate from the app’s locally saved messages and settings. DEJ Software does not add usage analytics to the app.
