## 1. Who we are
- **App:** BrainSnap AI — Smart Tutor
- **Developer:** Rhythm Themes
- **Contact:** apps.rhythmthemes@gmail.com
2. The short version
- The App is free. There is no account, no subscription, and no ads.
- You bring your own AI provider key (ChatGPT/OpenAI, Gemini/Google, or Claude/Anthropic). It is stored encrypted on your device.
- Your questions are sent directly from your device to the AI provider you choose. We do not run a server and do not receive your requests or your key.
- Camera images are processed on your device and are not uploaded.
- Your history and saved items stay on your device.
3. Information the App processes
a) Your API key. You enter your own key for a third-party AI provider in Settings. It is stored encrypted at rest on your device (Android Keystore-backed encrypted storage). It never leaves your device except as the authentication credential in the direct request to the provider you selected. We (the developer) never receive it.
b) Content you submit. When you scan, type a question, chat, translate, or generate study material, the text of that request is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS) directly from your device to your chosen AI provider to produce a response. It does not pass through any server operated by us.
c) Camera & microphone (on-device). The Camera permission is used only to scan problems. Images are converted to text on your device using on-device text recognition; only the recognized text is sent to your chosen provider — the image itself is never uploaded or stored. If you use voice/read-aloud features, audio is handled on-device by Android.
d) On-device data (stays on your phone). Your query history, saved bookmarks, and preferences (theme, read-aloud language) are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us.
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, precise location, or payment information, and there are no in-app purchases.
4. Third-party AI providers
Because you use your own key, the AI provider you select processes your request text and your key under its own terms and privacy policy. Please review the policy of whichever provider you use:
| Provider | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|
| OpenAI (ChatGPT) | |
| Google (Gemini) | |
| Anthropic (Claude) |
We do not control and are not responsible for these providers' data practices. On-device text recognition uses Google ML Kit, which processes images locally on your device.
5. How your information is used
- To provide the App's features (scan & solve, Q&A, chat, translation, essays, flashcards, trivia, read-aloud).
- To send your request text to the provider you selected and display the response.
We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not build advertising profiles.
6. Data retention
- On-device data (key, history, bookmarks, preferences) remains until you clear it in the App (Settings → Delete Your Data, or clear a key) or uninstall.
- Request text is processed by your chosen provider to generate a response and is retained according to that provider's policy — not by us.
7. Your choices & rights
- Remove your key: Settings → clear the key for any provider.
- Delete your data: Settings → Delete Your Data removes local history and saved items. Uninstalling removes all local data.
- Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights regarding personal data. For data processed by your AI provider, contact that provider. For the App, contact us at apps.rhythmthemes@gmail.com
8. Children's privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of independent consent in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Security
Your API key is stored encrypted on your device. All requests to AI providers use HTTPS/TLS. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
10. Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, note it in the App.
