Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 July 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Deva AI (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application (the “App”).

Note: This Privacy Policy is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Privacy requirements vary by jurisdiction. Consult qualified legal counsel to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

1. Information We Collect

1. Personal Information
   • Name – to personalize your experience within the App.
   • Email Address – to create and manage your account, and for support-related communication.
   • Profile Picture – to visually identify your account within the App.

2. Audio Data (Real-Time)
   • The App requests permission to access your device’s microphone so you can talk to your AI companion.
   • We do not store, record, or retain any audio data. Audio is processed in real time solely to generate responses from the AI companion.

3. Usage & Diagnostic Information (Optional)
   We may collect anonymized analytics such as crash reports and feature-usage statistics to improve the App. These data do not identify you personally.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and maintain the App and its core features.
• Authenticate and manage user accounts.
• Personalize content and user experience.
• Respond to customer service requests and technical support.
• Monitor and analyze usage to improve functionality and security.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information based on:

• Consent – when you grant us microphone access or provide optional information.
• Contractual Necessity – to deliver the services you request by signing up for an account.
• Legitimate Interests – to improve and secure the App, provided those interests are not outweighed by your rights.

4. Data Retention

• Personal Information (name, email, profile picture) is retained for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services.
• We do not store audio data; it is discarded immediately after real-time processing.
• Analytics data are retained only in aggregate or anonymized form.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information:

• With service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting), under confidentiality obligations.
• When required by law or to comply with legal processes.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of users or the public.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or applicable age of digital consent). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Withdraw consent at any time (this will not affect processing already performed based on consent).
• Object to or restrict processing of your data.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy in the App and updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

Thank you for using Deva AI!
