Circle Talk — Privacy Policy
Circle Talk is a push-to-talk staff radio made by Circle POS USA (circleposusa.com) for businesses and their staff. This policy covers the Circle Talk app for Android, the web app at talk.circleposusa.com and the Circle Talk server.
What we collect
- Voice clips — only while you hold the talk button. A clip is sent to your team and kept in server memory for up to 10 minutes, then deleted. Voice is never written to disk, never used for advertising, and never shared outside your team.
- Team information — your business name, the owner's email, staff names, roles and channel names, entered by your employer or by a Circle program your employer uses. PINs and passwords are stored only as one-way hashes.
- Location (only if your employer turns it on AND you agree in the app) — while you are On duty, your position is sent to your employer's Circle Talk team so the owner and managers can see where staff are and when they arrive at and leave work zones. Never sent when you are off duty or signed out. Kept for the period your employer sets (default 30 days, at most 365), then deleted. You can stop sharing at any time with the 📍 switch; your last position is then removed.
- Technical data — IP address, kept briefly in memory to stop PIN guessing. No contacts, photos or advertising IDs; no location unless described above.
How it is used
Only to deliver voice clips to your teammates, to sign you in, and to keep the service secure. We do not sell or rent personal data.
Microphone and background audio
The app records only while you press and hold the talk button. When you turn on On duty, the app keeps a notification showing so it can play your team's messages while the screen is off; turning it off stops listening.
Retention and deletion
Voice: 10 minutes in memory. Team data: until your employer removes you or deletes the team. To delete your account or data, see how to delete your account: ask your employer (the team owner) or write to support@circleposusa.com.
Security
All traffic uses HTTPS. Teams cannot hear other teams. Sign-in attempts are limited.
Children
Circle Talk is a workplace tool and is not directed to children under 13.
