1. Introduction

Welcome to Thinkbuddy! This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data, ensuring transparency and user control. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a secure experience.

2. Data Collection & Usage

2.1 Local-First Data Handling

  • Default Storage: All user data, including chat logs, files, and prompts, is stored locally on your device (Mac or browser storage) by default. No data is sent to the cloud unless you explicitly opt in.

  • Optional Cloud Sync: If you enable cloud sync (via Firebase), your data is securely stored and synced across devices. You can disable this feature at any time.

2.2 Data We Collect

  • User Inputs: Prompts, files, and interactions with Thinkbuddy are processed locally or via secure cloud sync (if enabled).

  • Usage Data: We collect anonymized usage statistics (e.g., feature usage, error logs) to improve the app. This data is not tied to your identity.

  • Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your email address and subscription details for authentication and billing purposes.

2.3 Data Sharing

  • Third-Party AI Providers: When you use Thinkbuddy, your prompts are sent to third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) via a proxy system that removes personally identifiable information.

  • No Data for Training: We do not share your data with third parties for AI training or sell it to advertisers.

3. Data Security

3.1 Encryption

  • All data transmitted between your device and ThinkBuddy’s servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., HTTPS, TLS).

  • Locally stored data is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.

3.2 Proxy System

  • ThinkBuddy routes all requests to AI providers through a proxy server, ensuring your personal information (e.g., IP address) is never exposed.

3.3 Access Control

  • Only authorized personnel have access to user data, and this access is strictly limited to operational needs.

4. Your Rights & Choices

4.1 Data Access & Deletion

  • You can access, export, or delete your data at any time through the app settings.

  • If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently removed from our servers.

4.2 Opt-Out Options

  • You can disable cloud sync or opt out of anonymized usage data collection in the app settings.

4.3 Consent

  • By using Thinkbuddy, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in this policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notifications.
