Advertising Data: We use third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob) to display advertisements. These networks may collect and use data, such as your device's advertising identifier (IDFA or AAID), to deliver relevant ads. The data collected by these networks is subject to their own privacy policies.
Crash Reporting and Performance Monitoring: We use third-party tools like Firebase Crashlytics to identify and fix issues in the app. These tools may collect crash logs and other diagnostic data to improve stability.
We do not collect personal identifiers such as email addresses or names unless explicitly provided by you for support or other interactions.
We do not track or collect data on your activities within the app beyond the outlined location, date/time, analytics, and advertising data. Your interactions with OpenAI are not monitored, stored, or shared by ChatAPI-AI.

To provide and maintain our Service, including sending location and time data to OpenAI for more accurate AI responses.
To improve app performance, using analytics data to optimize the app experience.
To serve relevant advertisements, using advertising identifiers to show personalized or non-personalized ads based on Google AdMob's policies.
