3. AI Processing and Third-Party AI Services
AI Homework Helper uses artificial intelligence technologies to generate educational explanations, answer questions, interpret submitted materials, and assist with learning activities.
To provide these functions, the Application may transmit user-submitted questions, text, images, and relevant instructions to external AI processing services.

Apple may process transaction details, billing information, purchase history, and related account information under its own privacy policies.
We may receive limited purchase-related information necessary to verify entitlement, provide access, investigate purchase issues, or comply with applicable obligations.
Purchasing the Application does not necessarily eliminate advertisements, guarantee uninterrupted AI availability, or provide unlimited AI processing capacity. The features, limitations, and entitlements included with a purchase must be accurately described in the Application and App Store listing.
7. AI Usage Limits, Credits, and Service Availability
AI functionality may depend on third-party model availability, API quotas, processing credits, usage allowances, rate limits, network connectivity, and infrastructure capacity.
The Application may experience temporary limitations, delayed responses, or interruptions due to these dependencies.
We may implement reasonable usage restrictions to maintain service stability, prevent abuse, and manage processing resources, provided these restrictions are consistent with the features and entitlements disclosed at purchase and applicable law.
Information processed during failed, delayed, or interrupted requests may be handled according to the applicable technical systems and third-party provider policies.
We do not guarantee continuous availability of third-party AI infrastructure.
Nothing in this section limits privacy rights, statutory consumer protections, or obligations that cannot legally be excluded.
8. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information directly to data brokers.
However, certain advertising-related data disclosures may constitute "sharing," "sale," or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, depending on how Google AdMob and associated technologies are configured.
We may disclose relevant information to:
AI processing providers.
Analytics and crash-reporting providers.
Advertising and measurement partners.
Cloud infrastructure and technical service providers.

Deleting the Application does not necessarily delete information already processed by external service providers.
Users may contact us to request information about available deletion options.
Where applicable law grants a deletion right, we will respond according to the relevant legal requirements, subject to lawful exceptions.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and loss.
These measures may include secure communication protocols, access restrictions, service-provider safeguards, and reasonable operational security practices.
However, no electronic transmission, mobile application, cloud platform, or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We cannot guarantee absolute protection against every security incident, unauthorized attack, or third-party infrastructure failure.
In the event of a qualifying personal data breach, we will comply with applicable notification and response obligations.
11. Children's Privacy
AI Homework Helper provides educational assistance and may be used by students.
We recognize that children's personal information may require additional legal protections.
Children should use the Application with parental or guardian involvement where appropriate.
We do not knowingly request unnecessary sensitive personal information from children.
If we become aware that children's personal information has been collected or processed in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the issue, including deletion where required.
Advertising, analytics, tracking, and third-party data processing involving children may be subject to additional restrictions.
Where required, we will obtain appropriate parental consent, disable restricted processing, or apply other legally required safeguards.
Parents or guardians may contact us at jayrajbazala2599@gmail.com regarding privacy concerns involving a child.
12. App Tracking Transparency and Advertising Choices
Where Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework applies, we will request the required permission before engaging in tracking as defined by Apple.
If a user declines tracking permission, we will respect that choice and will not use the restricted advertising identifier for prohibited tracking.
Declining tracking permission does not necessarily prevent all advertisements or all permitted data processing.
Depending on the user's region and applicable law, additional consent choices may be available for advertising and related processing.
Users may also manage certain privacy and advertising preferences through their iOS device settings.
13. Camera, Photos, and Device Permissions
The Application may request access to the camera or photo library when users choose to scan, capture, or upload homework questions.
Such permissions are used to enable the requested functionality.
Images selected or captured for AI processing may be transmitted to external processing services as described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not require access to unrelated photographs solely to provide standard text-based educational assistance.
Users may manage or revoke device permissions through iOS Settings.
Revoking permissions may limit features that depend on those permissions.
14. International Data Transfers
The Application uses third-party services that may process or store information in countries other than the user's country of residence.
These countries may have different data protection laws.
Where legally required, we will implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers, including contractual protections or other recognized transfer mechanisms.
The use of globally distributed infrastructure may result in information being processed outside the user's jurisdiction.
