ScanSeek AI ("we," "our," or "us") provides a privacy-first mobile application designed to scan, extract, and search text from screenshots. This document outlines our data practices and terms of use to ensure compliance with the Google Play Store and Apple App Store guidelines.

1. Information Collection and Storage

We prioritize your privacy by minimizing data collection:

• No Registration: No account, email, or sign-in is required to use the app.
• On-Device Processing: OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and content categorization are performed locally on your device.
• No Cloud Storage: We do not host or store your personal screenshots or extracted text on any central server.

2. Data Deletion and Retention

You maintain full control over your data:

• Automatic Deletion: Because all data is stored locally within the app's internal storage, uninstalling ScanSeek AI will permanently delete all associated content.
• User Control: Since we do not maintain server-side backups, there is no residual personal data for us to delete manually; removing the app is sufficient to exercise your right to erasure.

3. Use of AI Features

Enhanced analysis features (e.g., "Explain with AI") utilize third-party providers (Google Gemini and OpenAI):

• Data is only sent to these providers when you explicitly initiate an AI query.
• Only the relevant snippet or image needed for the query is transmitted.
• ScanSeek AI does not store or log the content sent to these AI services.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We use the following services for app functionality, analytics, and sustainability:

• Google AdMob: For displaying advertisements.
• Firebase Analytics: For aggregated, non-identifiable usage statistics.
• Google Gemini / OpenAI: For processing user-initiated AI requests.
• Supabase: For anonymous authentication tokens used to manage AI usage tiers.

5. Your Rights and Compliance (GDPR & CCPA)

We comply with global privacy standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• No Sale of Data: We do not "sell" your personal data to any third party.
• Right to Access and Erasure: You can access and delete your data at any time by viewing it within the app or uninstalling the app.
• Data Portability: Since data is local, you can use your device's native features to share or move your content.

6. Terms of Use & EULA

By downloading or using ScanSeek AI, you agree to these terms. This application is licensed, not sold, to you.

Apple Standard EULA

For users who download ScanSeek AI from the Apple App Store, your use of the application is subject to the Apple Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). You can find the full terms at:
