Privacy Policy

6MTS member app · Last updated September 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how 6MTS (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use the 6MTS mobile app and member community (the “App”). The App is operated on the Heartbeat community platform. By using the App you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account information: name, email address, profile photo, and password when you create or are invited to an account.
• Content you post: messages, comments, posts, photos, and other material you share in community channels, courses, or direct messages.
• Communications: emails or support requests you send us.

Information collected automatically

• Device and usage data: device type, operating system, app version, language, time zone, IP address, and how you interact with the App (e.g., pages viewed, features used, crash reports).
• Push notification token: if you enable notifications, a device identifier used only to deliver them.

We do not collect precise location data, contacts, health data, or payment card details through the App. Program purchases are processed separately outside the App.

2. How we use information

• Provide and operate the App — accounts, courses, community channels, events, and recordings.
• Send service messages such as invites, password resets, event reminders, and program updates.
• Send push notifications you have opted in to (you can turn these off in your device settings).
• Moderate the community and enforce our community guidelines.
• Respond to support requests.
• Understand usage in aggregate to improve the App.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for third-party advertising.

3. How information is shared

• Other members: your name, profile photo, and anything you post in community channels are visible to other members of the 6MTS community. Direct messages are visible only to their participants and, for moderation and safety, to community administrators where the platform allows.
• Service providers: we use trusted providers to operate the App, including Heartbeat (community platform and app hosting), email delivery, video hosting, and analytics/crash reporting. They may process data only on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations.
• App stores: Apple and Google may collect information under their own privacy policies when you download or update the App.
• Legal: when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of 6MTS, our members, or others.
• Business transfers: if 6MTS is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Your choices and rights

• Access and update: edit your profile details in the App under Settings.
• Notifications: manage push and email notification preferences in the App or your device settings.
• Delete your account: email support@sixmonthstospeech.com from your account email. We will delete your account and personal information within 30 days, except where we must retain it for legal, security, or legitimate business reasons. Content you posted in shared channels may be anonymized rather than removed.
• Regional rights: depending on where you live (e.g., EU/UK, California), you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, or to object to certain processing. Contact us to exercise them; we will not discriminate against you for doing so.

5. Data retention

We keep your information while your account is active and for as long as needed to provide the App and program access, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Aggregated or de-identified data may be kept longer.

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children

The App is intended for adults (18+) who are enrolled members of 6MTS. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. International users

6MTS is based in the United States. If you access the App from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

9. Third-party links

The App may link to websites or services we do not operate (for example, video platforms or scheduling tools). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version here with a new “Last updated” date and, for material changes, notify you in the App or by email.
