We share only the necessary data with these services to provide functionality (e.g., images for caption generation).

Access to Data: If you wish to access your saved data, please contact us at indiedevloper@gmail.com.
We display rewarded and banner ads in the App using Google AdMob.
Ads may or may not be personalized based on your location and usage patterns.

To use certain features of the App, we request the following permissions:
Camera: To capture images for caption generation.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting in the App. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically for updates.
Data Protection: You mentioned "not sure." Firebase uses industry-standard practices like encryption in transit and at rest. Confirm if you are taking additional steps for security.
Ads Personalization: If you’re unsure, AdMob typically serves personalized ads by default unless explicitly disabled. This can be updated in your AdMob settings.
Children’s Privacy: Apps targeting children under 13 are subject to COPPA (in the U.S.) or similar regulations. You may need to disable data collection for users under 13 or implement specific safeguards.
