Privacy Policy for Smart AI Web Browser

Effective Date: July 1, 2026

1. Introduction Welcome to Smart AI Web Browser. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It Unlike many other browsers, we prioritize local storage to keep your data under your control.

•Browsing Data: Your browsing history, bookmarks, and reading list are stored locally on your device using a secure Room database. We do not have access to this data on our servers.

•Passwords and Credentials: Our app includes a built-in password manager. All passwords are encrypted using AES/GCM hardware-backed encryption (Android KeyStore) before being stored on your device. We never see or store your passwords.

•AI Page Insights: Our AI features analyze page content to provide summaries and reading time estimates. This processing is performed to enhance your reading experience and does not involve the permanent storage of your personal browsing habits on our servers.

3. Permissions The app requests certain permissions to function correctly:

•Camera: Used solely for the QR Code Scanner feature.

•Microphone: Used only when you initiate Voice Search.

•Location: Requested only when a website you visit asks for your location; you can allow or deny this per site.

•Notifications: Used to provide alerts for downloads and important app updates via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

4. Third-Party Services To provide certain features and support the app, we use the following third-party services which may collect data according to their own policies:

•Google AdMob: For displaying advertisements. Google's Privacy Policy

•Firebase Analytics: To help us understand how the app is used and improve the user experience.

•Google ML Kit: For processing QR codes and barcodes locally on the device.

5. Data Security We take security seriously. We have implemented:

•Hardware-backed encryption for all sensitive credentials.

•Secure WebView configurations to prevent unauthorized JavaScript execution.

•Cleartext Traffic controls ensuring that while you can browse the full web, your interaction with the app's internal data is protected.

6. Children’s Privacy Our app is a general-purpose browser and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Data Retention and Deletion You have full control over your data. You can clear your history, cookies, and saved passwords at any time through the app's Settings menu. Uninstalling the app will remove all locally stored browsing data.

8. Changes to This Policy We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
