Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Praxis Strategies ("Praxis," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at praxisstrategies.com (the "Site") and when you use our Tiebreaker mobile application (the "App"), collectively referred to as the "Services."

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

• Account registration details (e.g., name, email address, password)
• Debate content you submit through the App, including text and voice input
• Communications you send to us (e.g., support requests, feedback)
• Payment information processed through our third-party payment provider (we do not store full payment card details)

Information Collected Automatically

• Device identifiers (device type, operating system, unique device ID)
• Usage data (features accessed, session duration, crash reports)
• Log data (IP address, browser type, referring URLs, pages visited)
• Analytics data collected through third-party analytics services

Voice and Speech Data

The App uses on-device speech recognition to transcribe voice input. Audio is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly submit a debate session for analysis. Transcripts generated from your speech may be sent to our servers to power AI analysis features.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Services
• Create and manage your account
• Analyze debate content to generate AI-powered feedback and scores
• Send transactional communications (e.g., account verification, support responses)
• Send promotional communications, where you have opted in
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity
• Comply with legal obligations

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service Providers: Third parties that perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, AI inference, analytics, payment processing, customer support). These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• AI Model Providers: Debate transcripts and content may be transmitted to our AI API partners (such as Groq) solely to generate analysis results. We do not authorize these partners to use your content for their own model training.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Praxis Strategies and its users.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change in ownership.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the address listed below. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and understand user behavior. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals from browsers.

8. Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will promptly delete it.
