AI Caption Buddy ("we", "our", or "us") operates this mobile application ("App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your information when you use our App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

✅ What data do we collect?

• We ask you to pick a single photo from your gallery when you use the app.
• We do not read, scan, or collect your entire photo library.
• We do not require login or collect personal account information.
• We automatically collect:
  • Device information (model, OS version)
  • Advertising ID (for AdMob personalized ads)
  • App usage logs (feature usage, crashes)

🧠 What do we do with your photo?

• The selected photo is sent securely over HTTPS to a third‑party AI model (Gemini AI) to generate captions, memes, stories, or hashtags.
• We do not permanently store your photo or AI-generated content on our servers.
• The AI processes the image only once per request to generate captions.

📊 Analytics & Ads

• We may collect anonymous usage data (feature usage count, crash logs) to improve the app.
• We display advertisements using Google AdMob:
  • AdMob may collect device identifiers, ad interactions, and IP addresses for ad personalization and measuring performance.
  • Clicks or views are logged only for analytics and ad delivery.
  • You can reset your device’s Advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your device settings or Google’s ad preferences page.
