This Privacy Policy explains how ExcuseMe AI ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our mobile application. By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

📱 Permissions & Device Data

Contacts (READ_CONTACTS): We request access to your contacts solely to allow you to select recipients for your excuses. This processing happens locally on your device. We DO NOT upload your contact list to our servers.
Internet (INTERNET): Required to communicate with our AI engine, save your profile, and process subscriptions.
Device ID & Advertising ID: Used by Google AdMob to serve personalized ads (if allowed) and for analytics.

👤 Personal Information

Account Data: If you sign in, we store your Email Address, Display Name, and Profile Picture URL (provided by Google/Apple).
Generated Content: The excuses you create and save to "Favorites" are stored in our secure database to sync across your devices.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the collected data for the following specific purposes:

AI Generation: Your prompt inputs (e.g., "Boss", "Late for work") are sent to Google Gemini API to generate the excuse text.
App Functionality: To create and manage your user profile, sync your favorites, and track your usage limits.
Advertising: To display relevant advertisements (via Google AdMob) that keep the basic version of the app free.
Analytics: To understand app stability (crash reporting) and improve user experience.

3. Third-Party Services

We utilize trusted third-party services to operate the app. These providers have their own privacy policies regarding how they handle data:

Service	Data Shared	Purpose

4. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your personal data only as long as your account is active.

How to Delete Your Data

You can request full data deletion directly within the app:

This action will permanently remove your personal identifiers (Name, Email) from our active database. Note: We may retain a cryptographic hash of your email solely to prevent abuse of our free trial system, which does not allow us to contact or identify you.

5. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us.
