Privacy Policy for ChatPilot

1. Introduction

Welcome to ChatPilot 

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how ChatPilot collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use our Android application.

By installing or using ChatPilot, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. About ChatPilot

ChatPilot is a productivity application that helps users monitor selected messaging activity through Android's Notification Listener Service. The app processes notification content locally on the device to identify events that match user-defined contacts or keywords and provides reminders or alerts based on those matches.

ChatPilot is not affiliated with WhatsApp, Meta, Telegram, Signal, or any other messaging platform.

3. Information We Collect

Depending on the features you use, ChatPilot may collect the following information.

A. Notification Data

When Notification Access is granted, ChatPilot can receive notification information generated by other applications.

This may include:

• Sender or contact name

• Notification title

• Notification text

• Time notification was received

• Application package name

• Message previews (only when exposed through Android notifications)

Notification information is processed primarily on your device to provide the app's monitoring features.

We do not intentionally collect the full contents of conversations beyond what Android exposes through notification previews.

B. User Preferences

The app stores settings such as:

• Tracked contacts

• Tracked keywords

• Detection rules

• App preferences

• Notification preferences

• Premium feature settings

These settings are stored locally and may also be synchronized with our backend if cloud synchronization is enabled.

C. Subscription Information

If you purchase ChatPilot Premium through Google Play Billing, Google processes your payment.

We receive only the information necessary to verify your subscription status, such as:

• Purchase token

• Subscription status

• Expiration date

• Product identifier

We never receive your credit card or banking information.

D. Device Information

We may collect limited device information, including:

• Android version

This information helps improve application reliability.

E. Analytics

ChatPilot may collect anonymous usage analytics, including:

• App launches

• Performance metrics

Analytics are used solely to improve the application.

Analytics do not intentionally include the contents of private messages.

This permission is essential for the core functionality of ChatPilot.

Without Notification Access, major features of the application will not function.

We do not use your notification data for advertising personalization.

6. Local Processing

One of ChatPilot's privacy principles is local processing whenever possible.

Notification analysis is primarily performed on your own device.

Only limited operational information required for subscriptions, synchronization, analytics, or technical support may be transmitted to our servers.

7. Cloud Storage

If cloud synchronization is available, certain user-created settings (such as tracked contacts, keywords, and preferences) may be securely stored on our backend.

Notification contents are not intentionally stored in the cloud unless a feature explicitly requires it and the user chooses to enable that feature.

8. Third-Party Services

ChatPilot may use trusted third-party providers to operate the application.

These may include:

• Google Play Billing

• Google Play Services

• Firebase Analytics

• Supabase

• Google AdMob (Free Version)

Each provider processes information according to its own privacy policy.

9. Advertising

The free version of ChatPilot may display advertisements.

Advertising providers may collect limited information such as:

• Device identifiers

• Advertising ID

• Approximate location

• App interactions

This information is managed by the advertising provider according to their privacy policies.

ChatPilot does not sell notification content to advertisers.

10. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information only when necessary:

• With service providers operating our infrastructure

• To comply with legal obligations

• To protect users

• To investigate fraud or abuse

Notification content is not shared with advertisers.

11. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your information.

These include:

• Encryption in transit where applicable

• Secure backend services

• Authentication for administrative systems

• Access controls

• Regular software updates

However, no system can guarantee absolute security.

12. Data Retention

Information is retained only as long as necessary.

Locally stored data remains on your device until:

• You delete it

• You uninstall the app

• You clear app storage

Cloud data, where applicable, may be retained until you request deletion or your account is removed.

Subscription records may be retained for legal and accounting purposes.

13. Children's Privacy

ChatPilot is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

14. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access your information

• Correct inaccurate information

• Object to certain processing

• Request data portability where applicable

You may also revoke Notification Access at any time through Android Settings.

15. Deleting Your Data

You can delete your data by:

• Clearing app storage

• Using any in-app delete option (if available)

• Contacting us using the email below

If cloud storage is enabled, deletion requests will be processed within a reasonable period unless legal obligations require retention.

16. International Data Transfers

If our servers or service providers operate in countries other than your own, your information may be transferred and processed in those jurisdictions while maintaining appropriate safeguards.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When significant changes are made, we will update the Effective Date and, where appropriate, notify users through the application or other reasonable means.

Continued use of ChatPilot after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
