Lory is a voice tutor. To teach you, it has to hear you and remember what you practised. This page says what that means for your data, in plain words.

What Lory stores

Your account: your name and your password (stored only as a scrambled hash we cannot read back).
Your lessons: when they happened, how long they took, the level they showed and a short summary. If recording is on for your account, the audio of the lesson too.
Transcripts: what you and the tutor said, so you can read it back and the tutor can plan your next lesson.
What the tutor remembers about you: facts you mentioned, such as your job or your plans. You can read and clear them under Me in the app.
Your words: the words from your lessons and how well you know them.
Your feedback: the stars and notes you give after a lesson.
Reminders: the push address of your phone, if you turn reminders on.
Access requests: the name, email and language you send through the form on lory.chat.

Recordings, transcripts, feedback notes and the tutor's notes about you are stored encrypted.

Who processes your voice

During a lesson your voice goes straight from your phone to the voice model that runs the tutor: OpenAI or Google (Gemini), depending on the model set for your account. After the lesson, the transcript is sent to a text model (OpenAI, or a model reached through OpenRouter) to find your level, your words and a plan for the next lesson. These providers process the data for us; we do not sell or share it for advertising.

Reminders are delivered by Apple's or Google's push service. The site and the app load no trackers, ads or analytics, and no fonts or scripts from other companies.

Who can see your lessons

Lory's trained human tutors review your lessons, transcripts and recordings. That is part of what you get: they steer the AI toward what helps you most, for example by planning topics, picking focus words and adjusting how it corrects you. People you were told about when you signed up can follow your progress too; they see levels, lessons and words, but not your feedback notes or what the tutor remembers about you.

How long we keep it

Lessons, recordings and transcripts are deleted automatically after one year. Your account stays until you or an admin remove it.

Your choices

Delete a single recording, or your whole lesson history, from the lesson list in the app.
Clear what the tutor remembers about you under Me.
Turn reminders off with the bell in the app.
Ask the person who invited you to remove your account and all its data.

Where it is stored

Lory runs on a rented server at OVH. The voice and text providers above may process data on their own servers, including outside Europe.
