1. Introduction

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

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us

• Account Data: If you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials.
• User Content: We process the text and audio input you provide during practice sessions ("Input Data") to generate AI feedback.
• Support Data: Information you provide when contacting customer support.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: We collect anonymous information about how you use the App, such as features used, session duration, and navigation paths.
• Device Data: We collect device information such as device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (for analytics and crash reporting).
• Purchase History: We track subscription status and purchase history (but we do not store your credit card information; this is handled by Apple/Google).

3. How We Use Your Information

• Service Provision: To provide the AI coaching features, generate feedback, and manage your account.
• Improvement: To analyze usage trends and improve the App's functionality and user experience.
• Communication: To send you administrative updates, support responses, or (with your consent) marketing communications.
• Security: To detect and prevent fraud or abuse.

4. AI Data Processing

How your data interacts with AI:

• Processing: Your Input Data is transmitted to third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI) solely for the purpose of generating the response and feedback.
• No Training: We have configured our agreements with AI providers to ensure that your Input Data is NOT used to train their public models.
• Retention: Input Data is processed transiently and is not permanently stored by our AI providers, although we may store your session history in our secure database if you choose to save it.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, AI processing).
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. You can request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time within the App settings.

7. Security of Your Data

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
