- Detect crashes and troubleshoot errors.
- Measure feature usage and product quality.
- Validate Premium access and restore purchases.
- Provide AI-powered features (food scan/search/insights), where applicable.

## 3) AI Processing (Google Gemini)
When you use AI features (e.g., photo scan, food search, insights), relevant input data (such as food photos or text prompts) is sent to our AI service provider (Google Gemini) to generate results.
- We send only the data needed to fulfill the feature request.

- Do not upload sensitive personal documents or unrelated private images.

## 4) Analytics and Crash Reporting
We use:
- **Firebase Analytics** to understand app usage trends.

These services may collect device identifiers and technical usage data in accordance with Google’s privacy practices.

## 5) Data Storage and Retention
- Core app data is primarily stored locally on your device.
- Local backups (JSON) are created and restored only when you initiate those actions.
- Some service providers (e.g., OpenAI, Firebase, RevenueCat) may process data temporarily as needed to provide their services.
- We retain data only as long as necessary for app functionality, legal obligations, and service improvement.

We do **not** sell your personal data.
We may share limited data with trusted processors solely to operate the app:
- Google Firebase (Analytics/Crashlytics)
- OpenAI (AI features)

- Apple App Store / Google Play (billing and purchase validation)
These providers process data under their own privacy terms.
