Welcome to ThriftWise, operated by Wise Creations Inc. ("we", "us", or "our"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our iOS app ("App") and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

3. Data Storage and Third-Party Services
Your data is stored both locally on your device and remotely on our servers. We use third-party service providers to support our functionalities:
- Supabase: Used for remote data storage and management of your personal and item-related data.
- Gemini API: Provided by Google, this large language model API endpoint is used for photo and text analysis. Please note that we "ping" Gemini API for analysis purposes only; Google's Gemini API does not store your data.
These third-party providers are contractually obligated to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security of your data.

- Potential Changes: Should our practices change (for example, if we decide to share data for analytics, advertising, or with other partners), we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you.
- Additional Permissions: If additional types of data are accessed (subject to your explicit permission), this document will be updated accordingly.
6. International Compliance
Since our Services are available internationally—with a primary focus on users in Canada and the USA—we strive to comply with applicable privacy laws such as Canada's PIPEDA and U.S. privacy regulations.
- For International Users: If you are accessing our Services from jurisdictions with additional privacy protections (such as the GDPR for EU users), please be aware that your rights may vary. We commit to updating our practices and policies to meet any such requirements as they become applicable.
7. Data Security
We implement commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Services at your own risk.
