Privacy Policy for Smld

Welcome to Smld ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the application.

1. Information We Collect

A. Camera and Image Data (Critical)

Smld's core functionality relies on scanning and extracting URLs from real-world images using your device's camera.

• Processing: Images captured by the App are sent securely to Google Cloud Vision API solely for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) purposes.
• No Storage: We operate on a strict "scan and share, never inspect or store" policy. We DO NOT store, save, or keep a database of the images you capture. Once the text (URL) is extracted, the image data is immediately discarded from our active memory and is not stored on our servers.

B. Personal Data

When you register an account using Apple or Google Sign-In, we collect the following basic information through Firebase Authentication:

• Email address
• Display name
• Profile picture URL

This information is used exclusively to maintain your account session, sync your scan limits, and provide a personalized experience.

C. Usage and Device Data

To improve the App's stability and performance, we may collect anonymous, aggregated data, including:

• Device type and operating system version
• App crash logs and diagnostic data (via Firebase Crashlytics)
• App usage statistics (e.g., number of scans performed)

2. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

We use RevenueCat to manage our "Smld PRO" subscriptions. When you make a purchase, the transaction is processed directly by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

• We DO NOT collect, process, or store your credit card information or payment details.
• RevenueCat only provides us with an anonymous user ID and the status of your subscription (e.g., active, expired) to unlock premium features.

3. Third-Party Services

We utilize trusted third-party services to power Smld. These services have their own privacy policies regarding the data they process on our behalf:

• Google Cloud Vision API: For OCR and image analysis.
• Firebase (Google): For authentication, database management (Firestore), and crash reporting.
• RevenueCat: For subscription and purchase management.

4. Account and Data Deletion

You have full control over your data. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time directly within the App:

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Tap Delete Account.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Upon confirmation, your scan history, account profile, and authentication records will be permanently erased from our databases.

5. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. Data transmitted between your device and our third-party providers (like Google Cloud) is encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols (HTTPS/TLS).

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
