Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Smart AI Search ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We collect several types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our App to you.
1.1 Information You Provide to Us
When using our App, you may provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information may include, but is not limited to:
- Search queries and questions you input into the App
- Chat conversations you have within the App
- Voice recordings when you use the voice input feature (these are processed locally and not stored)

When you use our App, we may automatically collect certain information, including:
- Device information: such as your device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information
- Usage data: information about how you use the App, including features you interact with, the time and duration of your use, and other usage statistics
- Local storage data: information stored locally on your device, including search history, chat history, and bookmarks
1.3 Information Collected Through Apple Services
Our App uses Apple's in-app purchase service for premium subscriptions. When you make a purchase, Apple may provide us with certain information, such as your purchase history and transaction details, in accordance with Apple's privacy policy.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for various purposes:
- To provide and maintain the App
- To improve, personalize, and expand the App
- To understand and analyze how you use the App
- To develop new products, services, features, and functionality
- To process your transactions and manage your subscriptions
- To provide you with notifications and reminders
- To support local functionality including search history, bookmarks, and offline access
3. Local Processing and Storage
Smart AI Search is designed to process and store your information locally on your device whenever possible. This means:
- Your search queries, chat conversations, and bookmarks are stored locally on your device
- Voice input is processed locally using Apple's Speech framework and is not stored or sent to our servers
- AI processing for search intents and responses is performed on-device using Apple's NaturalLanguage framework
- Your data remains private and is not accessible to us unless you choose to share it through support communications
We do not collect or store your personal information on our servers, except for limited transaction data related to premium subscriptions, which is provided by Apple.
4. Data Retention
Your information is retained locally on your device for as long as you use the App. You can delete your data at any time by:
- Using the "clear history" feature within the App
- Deleting specific search queries or chat conversations
- Uninstalling the App, which will remove all locally stored data
Transaction data related to premium subscriptions is retained only for as long as necessary to provide the service and comply with legal obligations.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your Personal Information with third parties for their commercial purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
5.1 With Service Providers
We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our App, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
5.2 For Legal Reasons
We may disclose your information if we are required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
5.3 To Protect Rights
We may disclose your information to protect the rights, property, or safety of Smart AI Search, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
6. Security of Your Information
The security of your information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Since most of your data is stored locally on your device, we recommend that you secure your device with appropriate passcodes and keep your operating system up to date to help protect your information.
7. Children's Privacy
Our App does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
8. Changes to This Privacy 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. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
