Privacy Policy for Page Caster

Introduction

Welcome to Page Caster! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Page Caster ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our mobile application.

Page Caster allows you to scan text from physical book pages and use that text to generate AI-powered illustrations of the scenes described.

Information We Collect

Page Caster is designed with your privacy in mind. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.

• Text Scanned from Pages: When you use the "Scan" feature, the text recognized from your book page is sent to our backend AI service for the sole purpose of generating an illustration. This text is processed temporarily and is **not stored long-term** on our servers or associated with any personal identifiers.
• Generated Images: The AI-generated illustrations are returned to your device. These images are **not stored long-term** on our servers. They are only temporarily held during the generation and transfer process. You have full control over saving these images to your device's photo library.
• Usage Data (Non-Personal): We may collect anonymous usage data to understand how the App is used, identify bugs, and improve performance. This may include:
  • Device type and operating system version.
  • App version.
  • Number of times features (like "Scan" or "Cast") are used.
  • Crash reports.
  This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• To provide and operate the core functionality of the App (text scanning and AI illustration generation).
• To improve and optimize the App's performance, features, and user experience.
• To monitor and analyze usage trends and activities for research and development.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. We may share non-personally identifiable, aggregated usage data with third parties for analytics and service improvement, but this data cannot be used to identify you.

We may use third-party service providers to facilitate our Service, such as:

• RevenueCat: For managing in-app purchases and subscriptions. Your purchase data is handled by RevenueCat in accordance with their privacy policy.
• Backend AI Service: The text you scan is sent to a third-party AI model (via our secure backend) for illustration generation. This text is processed in real-time and is not stored by the AI service beyond the immediate processing required to generate your image.
• Analytics Providers: We may use third-party analytics tools to help us understand how users interact with the App. These tools collect data that is not personally identifiable.

We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).

Data Security

We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Page Caster does 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 information, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
