Privacy Policy for BlessOut

1. Introduction

Welcome to BlessOut ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Personal information (e.g., name, email address) provided during account creation
• Voice recordings created within the app
• Usage data and app performance metrics
• Device information (e.g., device type, operating system)

We provide clear in-app disclosures about the collection and use of sensitive user data, including voice recordings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve our services
• Personalize your experience
• Communicate with you about the app
• Analyze app performance and user behavior to enhance functionality
• Ensure the security and integrity of our services

We do not use your data for any purposes beyond those disclosed here and in our in-app notifications.

4. Data Storage and Security

We use Firebase, a cloud services platform provided by Google, to store and manage your data. Firebase implements industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Our security measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Strict access controls and authentication procedures

Your voice recordings and personal information are stored securely on Firebase servers and are only used within the app to provide and improve our services.

5. Data Sharing and Third-party Services

We do not sell your personal information or voice recordings to third parties. Your data is only used within the app to improve its performance and provide you with the intended services.

We use OpenAI's services to generate personalized message scripts. When you create a script, the context you provide (without any personal identifiers) is sent to OpenAI's servers to generate the script. OpenAI does not store or use this information for any purpose other than generating the response for your script.

Our app may also include other third-party code (SDKs) for analytics and performance monitoring. We ensure that these third-party providers comply with our privacy standards and do not use your data for any purposes beyond those necessary for our app's functionality.

6. User Control and Data Deletion

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information
• Delete your account and associated data at any time
• Request the deletion of specific voice recordings

To exercise these rights, please use the in-app settings or contact us at privacy@blessout.com. We will process your request within 30 days.

When you delete your account, we will remove all your personal data and voice recordings from our active databases. Some information may be retained in our backup systems for a limited time.

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we may have collected information about a child, please contact us immediately.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We will also provide in-app notifications for significant changes.
