Are there any “in-app” purchases?

No. Sprezie is not an app. And therefore we do not include any “in-app” purchases.  You get everything for the same price. No hidden fees. Our goal is to give you the best support possible without having to pay extra. 

 

Do you sell my data? 

NEVER! Absolutely never! 

 

Will any academic studies be conducted on the data you gather? 

We work with researchers to improve Sprezie and document results.  However, all data is ‘sanitized’ (meaning all identifying personal information is removed) before researchers are allowed to view the data.

 

You mention several independent studies in your advertising. Where can I find these studies? 

The initial Sprezie development was done with a non-profit named RealVictory.  RealVictory  and was called ‘The RealVictory Phone Coach’.  RealVictory worked with the State of Utah, the University of Utah, and Brigham Young University to research how the Sprezie Aftercare technology impacted criminal offenders attempting to turn from crime.  Brigham Young University has published three studies in the International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology.  

The first two studies found that who used The RealVictory Phone Coach were 50% less like to commit repeat criminal offences over a 12 months period of time. The third study found that when criminal offenders answered 50% or more of their RealVictory Phone Coach calls, repeat offences decreased by over 50% during a three year period of time, when compared to a statically identical control group.

The research was evaluated by an independent board of Ph.D.’s in the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health and found to be through and valid.  As a result, the technology driving The RealVictory Phone coach (thus Sprezie Aftercare) was listed on the State of Utah Registry of Evidence Based Practices.

 

What laws govern our privacy? 

We are governed by state and federal privacy laws and meet the GDPR privacy requirements.  When you start your Sprezie account, you are asked to validate your phone number to give us permission to call or text you.

Can I adjust the times and duration between contacts from Sprezie ? 

Yes, Sprezie is fully customizable to meet the needs of its participants. Calls and texts are managed on the schedule page in your online Sprezie account. 

 

Can I give Sprezie as a gift?
