Introduction

ChatterBot ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that we collect from you or that you provide when using our ChatterBot iOS application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

1. Proprietary Backend Server and OpenAI API: The App interfaces with our proprietary backend server, which in turn interfaces with the OpenAI API to provide the content displayed in the App. Any messages you send through the App will be shared with OpenAI when interfacing with the API to provide the App's service.
2. Anonymous User Behavior and Feature Usage Data: We do not store any personal data on you while using the App. However, we do collect anonymous user behavior data and feature usage data to improve the App's performance and user experience. This data is collected through the Firebase API, a service provided by Google.
3. Device Type and OS Details: We collect information about your device type and operating system details for analytics and to troubleshoot product issues.
4. Apple In-App Purchases: If you subscribe to ChatterBot Pro, we use Apple in-app purchases, and they may collect personal information about you.

Use of Your Information

We use the information we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information, for the following purposes:

• To provide and improve our App and its services.
• To diagnose and troubleshoot product issues.
• To analyze and understand user behavior and feature usage.
• To perform analytics and monitor the performance of our App.

Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with our service providers, such as OpenAI and Firebase, only to the extent necessary to provide and improve the App's services.

Your Rights and Choices

You are not required to share sensitive personal information with the chatbot. We encourage you not to share such information while using the App.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy in the App. Your use of the App following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy. We recommend that you periodically review this Privacy Policy for any updates.
