Introduction

Rock Identifier - AI Scanner is a geology app developed by Based Solutions LLC. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use Rock Identifier - AI Scanner, including our optional location services for subscribers.

Data Collection

Rock Identifier - AI Scanner does not track users or collect personal identifying information such as your name, email address, or device identifiers. We do not require account creation or sign-in to use the core features of the app.

Location Data

Rock Identifier - AI Scanner may request access to your location data only if you are a subscriber and choose to include your location in your rock identification queries. This is an optional feature that helps provide more accurate identification results by considering the geological context of your area.

When location data is shared:

• It is only collected when you explicitly choose to include location with your query

• It is sent to our backend service solely to improve identification accuracy

• It is not stored permanently or used for tracking purposes

• You can choose not to share location data and still use all app features

Photo Processing

When you take photos of rocks for identification, these images are processed by our AI backend service to provide identification results. Photos are transmitted securely and are not stored permanently on our servers. They are processed solely for the purpose of rock identification and then discarded.

Third-Party Services

Rock Identifier - AI Scanner uses our own backend service for AI-powered rock identification. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. Your interactions with the app remain private and are not shared with external parties.

Local Storage

Rock Identifier - AI Scanner may store your preferences and identification history locally on your device. This includes your app settings and previously identified rocks that you choose to save. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to us or any third parties.

Subscription Information

If you subscribe to premium features, subscription management is handled entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not collect or store your payment information or personal subscription details.

Children's Privacy

Rock Identifier - AI Scanner is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children, and our app complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any data that is transmitted to our service during the rock identification process. All communications between the app and our backend are encrypted in transit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the effective date will be updated accordingly. You will also be notified of significant changes via the App Store.
