Privacy Policy

Clear information. Deliberate choices.

This page explains how Take One handles information on the website and in the app.

Draft before publication: replace the legal-operator placeholder, activate the privacy email address, confirm exact provider retention wording and complete the ICO fee assessment before making this page public.

Last updated: 16 July 2026

1. Who we are

Take One is operated by YOUR LEGAL NAME, trading as Take One. The operator is the controller responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

Website: trytakeone.com
Privacy contact: privacy@trytakeone.com

2. Information collected through the website

Beta applications

When you register interest in the beta, we may collect your email address, optional first name, phone platform, broad country or region, camera-experience selection, optional free-text response, age confirmation, optional interest in AI testing, beta-contact consent and optional marketing consent.

Why it is used

  • To manage beta recruitment and participation.
  • To select a useful mix of devices and experience levels.
  • To send essential messages about an application or testing round.
  • To send product news only where separate marketing permission has been given.
  • To protect the form from spam and abuse.

Support messages

If you contact us, we process your email address, message and any information you choose to include so we can respond. Please do not send recordings, transcripts or coaching output unless specifically requested and necessary.

3. Information handled by the app

Private recordings

Take One is designed so ordinary camera practice can work without an account or AI. Recordings remain on the device during the recording and review journey. Take One does not maintain a cloud library of private practice videos.

Saving to the phone

A recording is added to the phone’s media library only when the user deliberately chooses the save action and the device grants the relevant permission.

Local practice information

The app may keep structured information locally on the device, such as take type, attempt number, duration, completion reason, retry-chain state, review outcome and saved-to-phone status. This supports private progress features without storing the video itself.

Optional analytics

Where analytics are introduced and enabled, the app will explain the control available. Analytics must not automatically attach private recordings, transcripts or coaching content.

4. Optional AI coaching

AI is not required for basic private practice. Before a coaching request, the app presents a separate explanation and asks for an explicit action and consent.

For an accepted coaching request, the app may temporarily extract audio from the selected recording. The video frames are not uploaded for coaching. The temporary audio can be transmitted securely for transcription and generation of one focused coaching response. A retry comparison may process the immediate retry in a similar way.

Take One does not use facial recognition, voice identification or emotion scoring. User recordings are not opted into AI-model training by Take One.

Exact provider names, processing locations and retention periods must be confirmed against the production configuration before this policy is published.

5. Service providers

Take One may use carefully selected providers for website delivery, security, email, mailing-list management, transcription and AI processing. Current planned providers include Cloudflare, Google Workspace, MailerLite and OpenAI. Each provider handles information for a defined purpose and under its own contractual and technical controls.

A final published version will identify relevant international-transfer safeguards where personal information may be processed outside the United Kingdom.

6. Retention and deletion

Beta-application information should be kept only for as long as needed to manage the testing programme, maintain appropriate consent records and meet legal obligations. Marketing records remain until consent is withdrawn, subject to retaining a minimal suppression record where needed to respect an unsubscribe.

Temporary app-processing content should be cleared according to the confirmed Take One and provider retention periods. The app also provides controls for clearing temporary AI content where applicable.

Before publication: replace this general wording with the exact, technically verified retention periods.

7. Lawful bases

The final policy will map each purpose to the appropriate UK GDPR lawful basis. Likely bases include consent for optional marketing and optional AI processing, and legitimate interests or steps requested by the applicant for beta administration and support. This mapping must be checked before publication.

8. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to access, correct, erase or restrict your personal information, object to certain processing, withdraw consent and complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

To make a request, contact privacy@trytakeone.com. We may need enough information to verify the request without collecting unnecessary additional data.

9. Children

The initial beta is intended only for adults aged 18 or over. The application form asks applicants to confirm this rather than requesting a date of birth.

10. Security

Take One uses a data-minimisation approach, HTTPS, restricted secrets, server-side form validation and other proportionate safeguards. No online service can promise absolute security, but privacy commitments must be supported by the actual technical design.

11. Changes to this policy

Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Where appropriate, users will receive additional notice inside the app or by email.
