PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: October 30, 2026
Algebra AI: Math Helper ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Algebra AI app ("App") uses, where it goes, and the choices you have.
We do not require an account or login. We do not show ads, we do not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not sell your information.
1. INFORMATION WE USE
1.1 Information You Provide
• Questions and photos: Math problems you type, speak, or scan with the camera or choose from your photos, and your conversations with the AI tutor.
• Onboarding answers: Your education level, topics, study goal, and how you found the App. These are stored only on your device.
• Preferences: Settings such as light or dark mode.
1.2 Information Stored Only on Your Device
• Your history of questions, answers, and scanned images
• Your free credit balance
• Simple usage counts (for example, how many questions you have asked), used only to decide when to show Apple's rating prompt
This information is not sent to us or to any server.
1.3 Information Handled by Third-Party Services
• Google Gemini (through AIProxy): the questions and photos you send to get an answer (see Section 4.1)
• AIProxy: the IP address of each AI request and a device check token used to prevent abuse (see Section 4.2)
• RevenueCat and Apple: your purchase and subscription status, linked to a random anonymous ID (see Sections 4.3 and 4.4)
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
• To answer your math questions and explain the steps
• To save your history on your device so you can review it later
• To manage your free credits and your subscription
• To prevent abuse of the AI service
• To show Apple's rating prompt at appropriate times
• To respond when you contact us or report an AI answer
• To comply with legal obligations
3. YOUR PERMISSION BEFORE SHARING WITH AI
Before your first question or photo is sent to Google Gemini, the App asks for your permission. If you tap "Not Now", nothing is sent and no credit is used.
You can turn this off at any time in Settings > Share with AI. When it is off, the App will ask again before sending anything.
4. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
4.1 Google Gemini (AI answers)
• Purpose: Creates the answers and explanations you see.
• Data shared: The text of your question, the photo you scanned or chose (if any), and recent messages from the same conversation so the AI understands the context. Voice questions are sent as text, not audio.
• Not shared: Your name, email, contacts, location, or onboarding answers.
• Retention: Google processes this data under the Gemini API Terms and may keep it for a limited time, for example to detect abuse.
• More information: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
4.2 AIProxy (secure connection to Gemini)
• Purpose: Passes your request securely to Google Gemini and protects the service from abuse.
• Data stored: The IP address of the request, the response status, and basic request size information, kept for 30 days. AIProxy does not store the content of your questions or photos.
• More information: https://www.aiproxy.com/privacy.html
4.3 RevenueCat (subscriptions)
• Purpose: Checks whether you have an active subscription.
• Data shared: Purchase history and subscription status, linked to a random anonymous ID created by the App. We do not send your name or email.
• More information: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
4.4 Apple
• In-app purchases: Processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.
• Speech recognition: When you ask a question by voice, Apple's Speech Recognition turns your voice into text. Apple may process the audio on its servers. Only the resulting text is used by the App.
• More information: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
5. PERMISSIONS
• Camera: Used to scan math problems. You can turn it off in iOS Settings.
• Microphone and Speech Recognition: Used only when you choose to ask a question by voice. You can turn them off in iOS Settings.
• Photos: The App uses Apple's photo picker, so it only sees the photos you choose. It does not have access to your whole photo library.
6. REPORTING AI ANSWERS
AI answers can sometimes be wrong or inappropriate. You can report any answer with the flag button below it. This opens an email to us with the answer included, so we can review it. We use these reports only to improve the App's safety.
7. DATA SECURITY
Data sent to AIProxy, Google Gemini, RevenueCat, and Apple is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Data on your device is protected by iOS. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

• Turn AI sharing on or off in Settings > Share with AI.
• Delete any item from your history in the History tab.
• Delete the App to remove all data stored on your device.
