Privacy Policy
Welcome to AI Chatbot: Chat & Assistant, developed and operated by Balaji Scale ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, processed, and protected when you use our application ("App"). It also describes the permissions the App may request and the choices available to you.
By installing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Our App may process certain information to provide, maintain, and improve its functionality.
Depending on the features you use and the services integrated into the App, this information may include:
Device model and manufacturer
Android operating system version
Application version
Network connection status
Crash logs and diagnostic information
Application performance information
Information about interactions with App features
Questions, prompts, and messages you submit to the AI chatbot
We do not intentionally collect personally identifying information directly unless you voluntarily provide it or it is required for a specific feature.
AI Chat and User Queries
When you submit a question, prompt, or message, the App may process that information to generate responses, answer questions, summarize content, or provide other AI-assisted functionality.
Depending on the AI technology used by the App, your queries may be transmitted to an external AI provider or online service for processing.
Please avoid entering passwords, payment details, confidential business information, or sensitive personal information into the chatbot unless necessary and you understand how the relevant service processes that information.
2. How We Use Your Information
Information processed through the App may be used to:
Provide AI chatbot and assistant functionality.
Process questions and generate responses.
Provide online content and related services.
Improve application performance and reliability.
Detect and resolve crashes or technical problems.
Monitor service functionality.
Help protect against misuse, fraud, and unauthorized activity.
Deliver notifications when enabled.
Display advertisements, where applicable.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.
We aim to use information only for legitimate purposes associated with providing and maintaining the App.
3. Android Permissions Used
The App requests permissions necessary for its supported features. Depending on the version and functionality you use, these may include the following.
3.1 Internet Permission
Permission: android.permission.INTERNET
This permission allows the App to:
Connect to online services.
Send requests to AI services, where required.
Retrieve online information and content.
Load advertisements, if applicable.
Support other internet-dependent features.
When you submit a query to an online AI provider, the information necessary to process that request may be transmitted to that provider.
3.2 Network State Permission
Permission: android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
This permission allows the App to:
Determine whether an internet connection is available.
Check network connectivity before making requests.
Improve network request handling.
Reduce unnecessary connection attempts.
Support application reliability.
This permission provides network connectivity information; it does not, by itself, grant access to your private messages, contacts, or files.
3.3 Microphone Permission
If the App includes voice input and requests android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, microphone access is used when you choose to use voice-related features.
It may allow the App to capture speech input so that it can be processed into a question or command.
Microphone access should occur only as needed for the voice feature you activate. We do not claim continuous background recording unless such functionality is actually implemented and disclosed.
3.4 Display Over Other Apps
If the App requests android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, this permission may support optional features such as a floating assistant, chat bubble, or quick-access interface displayed over other applications.
This access is used to provide the floating feature you enable. It should not be interpreted as permission to collect unrelated information from other applications.
3.5 Notifications
Permission: android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
On supported Android versions, this permission allows the App to display notifications, such as relevant service updates, reminders, or feature notifications.
You can allow or disable notifications through your Android device settings.
3.6 Foreground Service
If the App uses android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE, it may support user-visible tasks that need to continue while the App is not in the foreground.
Where required by Android, an ongoing notification will be displayed while the foreground service is running.
3.7 Foreground Service Special Use
If the App uses android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE, it may support a specialized foreground service, such as an optional floating AI chat bubble.
Such a feature should operate only according to its disclosed purpose and the applicable Android requirements.
Note: The permissions described in this section apply only if they are present and used in the published version of the App. The actual permission list and feature descriptions should match the App's implementation.
4. AI Services and Third-Party Processing
The App may use third-party AI models, APIs, search services, or other online providers to generate answers and deliver assistant functionality.
When you submit a request, your prompt and the information necessary to fulfill that request may be shared with the relevant provider.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies, terms, and data-retention practices. Their handling of information is not necessarily controlled by us.
AI-generated answers may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You should independently verify important information and avoid relying solely on AI-generated responses for significant medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions.
5. Third-Party Services
Depending on the version and configuration of the App, we may integrate third-party services to support functionality, advertising, analytics, diagnostics, or notifications.
These services may include:
Google Play Services
Google AdMob
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Crashlytics
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
AI model or API providers
Only services actually integrated into the published App should be considered applicable.
Third-party services may process technical information or other data necessary to provide their functionality. Please review their respective privacy policies to understand how they handle information.
6. Advertising
If advertisements are displayed in the App, advertising partners may use advertising identifiers and related technologies to:
Display advertisements.
Measure advertising performance.
Prevent advertising fraud.
Improve advertising quality.
Personalize advertisements where permitted.
Advertising providers may process certain device information, advertising identifiers, network information, or interactions with advertisements in accordance with their privacy policies and applicable laws.
Where required, appropriate consent and advertising choices will be provided.
We do not control the independent data-processing practices of third-party advertising providers.
7. Data Storage and Retention
Information may be processed locally on your device or by external services, depending on the feature.
Chat history, prompts, or responses may be stored if the App provides a chat-history feature. Information sent to an external AI provider may also be subject to that provider's storage and retention practices.
We retain information under our control only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, maintain its functionality, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, and protect against misuse.
The exact storage and retention practices depend on the App's implementation and the services it uses.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information as a business practice.
Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to:
Process AI requests.
Provide online functionality.
Display advertisements.
Diagnose crashes and technical problems.
Maintain application security and reliability.
Comply with legal obligations.
We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or services.
We do not claim that all information entered into the App remains exclusively on your device. Information submitted to an online AI provider may be processed externally to provide the requested response.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information processed under our control against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We encourage you to avoid submitting confidential or sensitive information to the App unless you understand the relevant processing practices.
10. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information inappropriately through the App, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action where required.
11. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may have the following choices, depending on the features available and applicable law:
Choose what information to include in your prompts.
Deny or revoke optional permissions through Android settings.
Disable notifications.
Stop using voice input or floating features, if available.
Stop using the App or uninstall it.
Contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of applicable personal information.
Some features may not function correctly if the permissions they require are disabled.
Information held by an independent AI provider or other third party may be subject to that provider's privacy policy and deletion procedures.
12. International Data Transfers
If the App uses third-party providers located in other countries, information may be processed outside your country of residence.
Where applicable, such processing should follow relevant data-protection requirements and any safeguards required by law.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in the App, our practices, third-party services, technologies, or applicable legal requirements.
The updated version will be published with a revised effective date.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how information is handled.
