Our App is designed for use by children with parental supervision. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. When a child under 13 attempts to use our App:

• We require verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information
• Parents are provided with a clear description of our data collection and use practices
• Parents have the right to review their child's personal information, request deletion, and refuse further collection
• We limit the collection of personal information to what is reasonably necessary for the activity
• We take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information collected from children

When you use our App, we automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device Information: We collect information about your mobile device, including device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers.

Audio Data and Speech Recognition

Our App uses the device's microphone to enable speech-to-text functionality and voice interactions. When you use these features:

• Audio is recorded and processed both on your device and by third-party AI services including but not limited to OpenAI, Google, ElevenLabs, or other AI providers;
• These recordings are used to convert speech to text, process user queries, and generate appropriate responses;
• Audio data is transmitted to these third-party AI services for processing in accordance with our contractual agreements with these providers;
• While we do not permanently store audio recordings in our systems, our third-party AI service providers may retain this data according to their own privacy policies;
• The text converted from speech and AI-generated responses are used to provide the interactive experience within the App;
• You can disable microphone access at any time through your device settings, though this will limit voice interaction features.

Third-Party AI Services

Our App integrates with third-party AI services to process voice inputs and generate responses. Please note:

• When you use our voice features, your audio data and queries may be sent to third-party AI providers such as OpenAI, Google, ElevenLabs, and others;
• These third parties have their own privacy policies and data retention practices that govern how they handle your data;
• We select AI service providers that maintain high standards of data security and privacy;
• We limit the personal information shared with these services to what is necessary for the functionality of the App;
• For more information about how these third parties handle your data, you can refer to their respective privacy policies.

Google Services

Our App uses various Google services, including Firebase Analytics, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Remote Config, and Google Sign-In. These services help us improve the App, authenticate users, and provide a personalized experience. When using these services:

• We comply with Google's Family Policy requirements for apps directed to children
• We use Firebase Analytics in a COPPA-compliant manner, with age-appropriate settings
• For child users, we limit data collection to what is necessary for the App's functionality
• We do not use personalized advertising for users under 13

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect and store. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws. For children's personal information, we take additional measures to delete such information once it is no longer necessary to provide our services.
