Google Gemini API — AI chat assistant Privacy Policy: https://ai.google.dev/terms
These services may collect data independently in accordance with their own policies. We encourage you to review them.
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following circumstances:
With other users: Your display name, username, profile photo, activity feed events, and comments are visible to your friends within the app.
With service providers: Only as necessary to operate the app (Firebase, Google AdMob, Gemini API).
Legal requirements: If required by applicable law or legal process.
Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase, which employs industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest.
Profile images and content images are stored in Firebase Storage.
We store cached data locally on your device to improve performance. This cache can be cleared by signing out of the app.
The app includes social features that make certain information visible to other users:
Friends can see your activity feed (content you complete, rate, or bookmark) and your comments.
Your name, username, and profile photo are visible to users you connect with.
You can remove friends at any time from within the app, which will stop sharing your activity with them.
We use Google AdMob to display interstitial advertisements within the app. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier and other data to serve personalized ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your device settings:
iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → turn off "Personalized Ads"
Our app is not directed to children under the age of 4. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 4. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate data (via the Edit Profile screen in the app)
Delete your account and associated data (contact us to request deletion)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information from our active databases, though some data may remain in backups for a limited period.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
