1. Introduction

Welcome to Saathiya AI. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information, especially your interactions with our AI characters.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Data

Name, email, and profile details you provide during registration via Firebase Authentication.

We process the text messages you send to the AI to generate responses. We may store these chat logs locally on your device or securely on our servers to maintain conversation context and improve your personalized experience.

2.3 Device Data

IP address, device model, and usage patterns (e.g., how long you talk to the AI) to improve app performance and security.

3. AI and Data Usage

How we use your chats is central to our service:

• Response Generation: Your messages are sent to our AI providers (Large Language Models) solely to generate a response.
• No Public Training: We do NOT share your personal chats to train public AI models.
• Personalization: The app "remembers" details you share to make the AI friendlier and more personalized to your preferences.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We only share data with:

• AI Service Providers: Strictly for processing your inputs to generate text.
• Legal Authorities: If required by Indian law (e.g., in cases of cybercrime or safety threats).

5. Data Security

We use TLS/SSL encryption for data in transit. While we strive to protect your data, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Security Advice: We advise against sharing sensitive financial info (like credit card numbers or bank passwords) with the AI characters.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13. Users aged 13-17 must have parental permission. If we discover a user is under 13, we will delete their account and data immediately.
