1. Introduction

PostGenius AI ("we", "our", "the app") is an AI-powered social media content creation tool designed for small businesses and entrepreneurs. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

By using PostGenius AI, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When using PostGenius AI, you may provide the following information:

- Business profile data: business name, industry, business description, target audience, communication tone, unique selling points (USPs), and preferred social media platform

- Content generation inputs: post topics, keywords, hashtag topics, and platform preferences

- Contact form submissions: category, subject, and message when contacting support

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

- Device information: device manufacturer, model, and Android version (for crash reporting and support diagnostics)

- App usage analytics: screens visited, feature usage patterns, and session data (via Firebase Analytics)

- Crash reports: stack traces, device state, and app state at time of crash (via Firebase Crashlytics)

- Advertising identifiers: device advertising ID for serving ads (via Google AdMob)

2.3 Information from Third-Party Services

- Google Sign-In: email address, display name, and unique user ID (when you choose to sign in)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

- Generate AI-powered social media content, captions, hashtags, and content calendars tailored to your business profile

- Provide cloud backup and restore functionality for your data across devices

- Display relevant advertisements to free-tier users

- Process premium subscription purchases

- Send your business profile data to Google Gemini AI for content generation

- Improve app performance, fix crashes, and enhance user experience

- Respond to support inquiries submitted through the Contact Us form

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

- Your business profiles, generated content, calendars, hashtag sets, and usage data are stored locally on your device using a Room (SQLite) database

- App preferences (dark mode, default platform, default tone) are stored in SharedPreferences

- Local data is protected by Android's standard device encryption

4.2 Cloud Storage

- If you sign in with Google and use the Backup feature, your data is stored on Google Firebase Firestore servers

- Cloud data is encrypted in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest (Google-managed encryption)

- Data is isolated per user account — only accessible with your authenticated credentials

- Cloud sync is entirely optional; the app functions fully offline

4.3 AI Processing

- When you generate content, your business profile information (name, industry, description, audience, tone, USPs) and generation parameters are sent to Google Gemini AI via encrypted HTTPS connection

- This data is used solely for content generation and is processed according to https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms

- We do not store your data on any servers other than Firebase (when you opt in to cloud backup)

4.4 Security Measures

- All network communication uses HTTPS/TLS encryption

- Cloud data is protected by Firebase security rules restricting access to authenticated users

- Authentication uses Google Sign-In (industry-standard OAuth 2.0)

- No passwords are stored by the app — authentication is delegated to Google

- API keys are securely embedded at build time and not exposed in source code
