Privacy Policy
AI Insect Identifier Pro ("we", "our", "the App") is developed by AK App Solutions. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App uses and how.
1. Photo and audio identification
When you scan a photo or record a sound, the image or audio clip is sent to Google's Gemini AI service to identify the insect. This data is used only temporarily to analyze and return a result — under our paid Gemini API plan, it is not used by Google to train AI models, and we do not store this photo or audio on our own servers. Google's handling of this data is otherwise governed by Google's own Privacy Policy.
2. Permissions
The App uses your device's camera and photo library through the system's built-in camera and picker apps — the App itself does not request Camera or Photos/Storage permission. The App requests Microphone access (to record sound for insect audio identification) and Notification access (to send you alerts). These are only activated with your consent and used solely for their stated purpose.
3. Data stored on your device
Your scan history (species name, description, and a reference to the photo used) is stored locally on your device only. We do not upload or sync this history to any server we operate. Because we do not store your data on any server, you have full control over it: you can delete individual entries or clear your entire history at any time within the App, clear it via "Clear Data" in your device's App Settings, or remove it completely by uninstalling the App.
4. Personal information
We do not require an account to use the App, and we do not collect your name, email address, or phone number.
5. Location
The App does not access or collect your device's location.
6. Analytics and crash reporting
We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (Google) to understand app usage and diagnose crashes. These services may collect device information (device model, OS version, app version) and anonymized usage events. See Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
7. Push notifications
We use Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) to send you notifications. You can disable notifications anytime in your device settings.
8. Advertising
The App may display ads served through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads). AdMob may use device identifiers to serve and measure ads. See Google's advertising policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
9. In-app purchases (Premium)
Premium subscriptions are processed entirely through Google Play Billing. We never see or store your payment card details — this is handled by Google.
10. Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
