Effective date: January 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Bahana AI (“the app”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use the app.
Information you provide
User input (prompt/context): If you enable AI mode, the text you type (and selected category/tone) is sent to our backend service to generate an excuse.
How AI mode works (third-party processing)
When AI mode is enabled, your request is processed as follows:
Sent from the app to our backend hosted on Google Cloud / Firebase Cloud Functions.
The backend sends the request content to OpenAI to generate the response.
The generated excuse is returned to your device.
We do not ask you to enter passwords, OTPs, bank details, or other sensitive data. Please do not submit sensitive information in prompts.
Data we collect
We do not collect or store personal data like name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise location.
We do not sell your data.
Data retention
We do not store your AI prompts or generated excuses on our servers for providing the core functionality (beyond transient processing needed to generate the response).
On-device history (if you use the History feature) is stored locally on your device and can be cleared from within the app.
Sharing of information
We only share the minimum information required to provide AI mode:
Google (Firebase/Cloud Functions): receives network requests to run the backend.
OpenAI: receives the text you submit (prompt/context + category/tone) to generate an excuse.
These providers process data according to their own policies:
OpenAI: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Security
We use standard measures to help protect requests in transit. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Children’s privacy
The app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
Use Offline mode to avoid sending any prompt to the backend/OpenAI.
Avoid entering sensitive information in prompts.
Clear History in the app to remove stored items on-device.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the “Effective date” above when changes are made.
Contact
If you have questions, contact: [YOUR SUPPORT EMAIL](Optional) Developer/Company: [YOUR NAME/ENTITY]
Privacy policy URL: Create a public Google Sites page and paste the policy above, then link that URL in Play Console → App content → Privacy policy.
Data Safety (high-level guidance):
Collected: none (if you truly don’t store on servers).
Shared: User-provided text is shared with OpenAI (and processed via Google Cloud) to generate AI responses.
Stored on device: local History (if enabled/used).
If you tell me what you want the contact email and developer name to be, I’ll fill those placeholders and format it exactly as a Google Sites page (with shorter sections + FAQ-style layout).
