What SpeakingWizard and this website handle, and why. Questions: support@speakingwizard.com.
SpeakingWizard keeps on your Mac, and nowhere else: its settings, your recent presentations, your last-minute changes (hidden slides, text fixes), the phones you allowed (remembered 90 days), your licence key, how many free shows you have used, and a diagnostics log of events in recent shows (no slides, notes, names or keys). The greeting on the start screen uses the name of your Mac user account; it is read when the window opens and is not stored or sent.
Same Wi-Fi: the phone talks to the Mac directly. That link is not encrypted, so use a network you trust.
Phones on any network: the relay is a server of ours at Cloudflare that passes messages between your phone and your Mac. Everything is sealed end to end (AES-256-GCM); the key is in the QR code after the "#" and never reaches the relay. The relay stores only which relay key opened a room, and keeps no request logs. Cloudflare necessarily processes the phone's and the Mac's IP addresses to deliver the messages.
When SpeakingWizard opens, it asks speakingwizard.com whether a newer version is out (you can switch this off in More settings). The request carries no identifier or cookie; like any web request it shows your IP address to the website's host, Cloudflare. The app only tells you about the new version; it installs nothing by itself.
Help, Send Feedback writes an email from your own Mail to support@speakingwizard.com, and you see it before it is sent. The diagnostics are attached only if you leave the box ticked: the app's version, macOS, the Mac's model, the number of displays, Wi-Fi or relay, whether Keynote is installed, and recent show events. When you write to us (feedback or early access), we use your email address and your message to answer you. Mail to speakingwizard.com is forwarded by Cloudflare to our mailbox at Google.
Licences are not on sale yet. When they are, you will pay through Stripe Managed Payments ("sold through Link"), which handles the payment, VAT and receipt under its own privacy policy; we never see your card. Stripe tells our licence server (at Cloudflare) that an order is paid, with your email address, the order number and the product. The licence server makes your licence key, emails it to you through Resend, and keeps a register (email address, licence number, plan, dates, order number) to help you if you lose the key and for renewals. The licence key itself holds no name or email, only the licence number, the plan and dates; the app checks it on your Mac, without the internet. This page will say how long the register is kept before licences go on sale.
We email you your licence key and messages about your licence. We send news about new versions and offers only if you said yes, and every such email has a link to stop them.
You can ask us what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object, or take it with you (GDPR Articles 15 to 22), by writing to support@speakingwizard.com. You can complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).
Cloudflare (the website, the relay, the licence server and email forwarding), Google (our mailbox), and, once licences are on sale, Stripe and Link (payments) and Resend (licence emails). Some of them are based in the USA.
We will put any change here, with its date, and tell licence holders by email when it matters. This version: 10 November 2026.
