Effective Date: December 26, 2025

Zion Studios ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Fish Identifier mobile application (the "App"). Fish Identifier allows users to identify fish species by analyzing images using artificial intelligence models, including LLMs and other proprietary on‑device or cloud‑based models.

We take your privacy seriously and are committed to collecting only the minimum data necessary to provide the App’s functionality. This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed, how it is used, and how it is protected.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Fish Identifier does not require account creation and does not request personal identification information.

Images Submitted for Identification

• When you choose to identify a fish, you may upload or capture an image.

• The image is temporarily processed only for the purpose of fish identification.

• Images may be analyzed using:

  • Google Gemini‑3 Flash AI

  • Proprietary machine‑learning models

Important:

• Images are not associated with your identity.

• Images are not stored long‑term by us.

• Images are not shared with other users.

• Images are not used for advertising or marketing.

Personal Information

• We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, precise location data, or account credentials.

• If you voluntarily contact us for support, we may receive your email address and the content of your message.

Usage & Diagnostic Data

• The App may collect limited, anonymized diagnostic information, such as:

  • App crashes

  • Performance errors

  • Model response failures

• This data does not include uploaded images, personal identifiers, or content of identifications.

Device Information

• Basic non‑identifying device information may be processed, including:

  • Device model

  • Operating system version

  • App version

This information is used solely to maintain compatibility and improve reliability.

2. How We Use Information

Information is used strictly to operate and improve the App.

We use data to:

• Analyze fish images and return identification results

• Improve accuracy, speed, and reliability of identification

• Detect and fix technical issues

• Respond to user support requests

• Comply with legal obligations

We do not:

• Track users across apps or websites

• Build user profiles

• Sell or rent data

• Use data for targeted advertising

3. AI & Machine Learning Processing

Fish Identifier uses third‑party and proprietary AI models.

Image Processing

• Images may be transmitted securely to AI services (such as Gemini‑3 Flash) only for inference.

• Images are processed to determine fish species and characteristics.

Model Training

• User images are not used to train or improve AI models.

• We do not contribute user data to external datasets.

Data Minimization

• Only the image itself is processed.

• No metadata, identifiers, or user context is attached.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your data.

Data may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

AI & Infrastructure Providers

• Trusted AI service providers (e.g., Google Gemini) may process images solely to provide identification results.

• These providers are contractually required to protect data and restrict usage.

Legal Requirements

• We may disclose limited information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.

We never share:

• Personal information

• User identities

• Image libraries

• Identification history tied to individuals

5. Data Security

We implement industry‑standard safeguards to protect information.

• Image transmissions are encrypted in transit.

• Images are processed only as long as necessary to return results.

• No centralized image database is maintained by us.

Despite our efforts, no electronic system is completely secure. We encourage users to keep their devices protected and up to date.

6. Data Retention

Images

• Images are processed temporarily for identification.

• Images are discarded immediately after processing or within a short operational window.

Diagnostic Data

• Anonymized diagnostics are retained only as long as necessary to improve stability and performance.

Support Communications

• Emails are retained only for the duration required to resolve inquiries.

7. Your Choices and Controls

You remain in control of your data:

• You choose whether to upload an image.

• You may stop using the App at any time.

• You may uninstall the App to remove locally stored data.

• You may contact us to request deletion of support communications.

The App does not require permissions beyond those necessary for camera or photo access (if used).

8. Children’s Privacy

Fish Identifier does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because no accounts or personal identifiers are collected, the App is suitable for general audiences. If you believe a child has provided personal information via support contact, please notify us and we will promptly delete it.

9. International Users

Fish Identifier may be used globally. AI processing may occur on servers located in different countries. Regardless of location, we apply the same privacy protections described in this policy.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

• Updates will be reflected by the Effective Date at the top.

• Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
