Privacy Policy

1 Overview & Commitment

This Privacy Policy explains how Prosperity Tech ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, protects, and handles information when you use the mobile application Choice AI (Package ID: com.choiceai.product.comparison), including its AI-powered comparison, recommendation, and discovery features.

2 Information We Collect

Choice AI collects only minimal and relevant information necessary to deliver smart product recommendations, spec comparisons, and personalized discovery:

• User Search Context & Filters: When you search for tech products, compare devices, or apply spec filters (e.g., budget range, processor, RAM, display size), this query context is processed in real time to fetch curated results and generate recommendations.
• Local On-Device Preferences & Storage: Your product search history, shortlisted favorites, comparison selections, and app preferences (such as dark or light theme) are saved locally on your physical device using encrypted local storage. This data remains on your device and is not synchronized to external servers unless you explicitly opt in to future backup services.
• Device Telemetry & Performance Diagnostics: We may collect non-identifiable technical data including device model, operating system version, screen resolution, and anonymous crash stack traces via Firebase to diagnose bugs, maintain app stability, and optimize UI responsiveness across devices.
• Network Status: The app checks connectivity status (Wi-Fi, Cellular, Offline) to inform you when offline and avoid broken network requests.

3 Artificial Intelligence & Google Gemini Integration

Choice AI leverages Google Gemini artificial intelligence models to provide contextual shopping advice, summarize tech specs, and recommend products matching your requirements:

• Contextual AI Queries: Only non-identifiable query parameters (such as device category, desired specifications, and budget criteria) are transmitted to the Google Gemini API to formulate personalized suggestions.
• No Personal Identifiers in Prompts: We never pass your personal identifiers (such as your name, email, phone number, location, or device hardware IDs) to generative AI models.
• AI Provider Standards: Transmission to Google Gemini is protected via transport-layer security (TLS/HTTPS) and governed by Google's AI Principles and Privacy Policies.
• Advisory Nature: AI-generated suggestions are calculated recommendations for informational purposes only. We advise verifying critical specs and retailer prices before completing any purchase.

4 Permissions & On-Device Security

Choice AI requests only the essential runtime privileges necessary for core functionality. We follow the principle of least privilege:

• INTERNET: Required to retrieve product catalog data, execute AI queries via Google Gemini, and fetch dynamic configuration updates.
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required to detect active Internet connections and display graceful offline state notices.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Optional): Used only with your explicit operating system consent to deliver notifications regarding product updates, feature enhancements, or important app advisories. You may disable this at any time in system settings.
• No Sensitive Permissions: Choice AI does not request or access your device camera, microphone, GPS location, contacts, photo library, or biometric sensors.

5 Third-Party Services & External Retailer Links

To operate seamlessly, Choice AI integrates with reputable industry-standard infrastructure providers:

• Google Gemini API: Generative AI recommendation and comparison analysis.
• Firebase (Remote Config, Cloud Messaging): Delivering feature configuration parameters, critical announcements, and app updates.
• Google Play Services: Core application distribution, security verification, and update delivery on Android.
• External Retailer & Merchant Links: Choice AI may display external web links directing to third-party retail platforms (e.g., official brand stores, Amazon, authorized retailers). When you click an external link, you leave Choice AI and interact directly with that retailer under their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party websites or their data policies.

6 Data Retention, Control & User Choices

You have full autonomy over your data within Choice AI:

• Clear Search History & Favorites: You can clear your entire search history and saved favorites at any time directly through the app interface.
• Complete On-Device Data Wipe: Clearing application cache/storage in your device's Settings menu or uninstalling Choice AI permanently deletes all local records, preferences, and cached specifications from your hardware.
• Inquiries & Erasure: For any data questions or privacy inquiries, contact our team directly at prosperitytechsolution@gmail.com.

7 Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Choice AI is intended for general audiences interested in consumer technology and product comparisons. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (or under 16 where required by local regulations). If we discover that personal data has been inadvertently provided by a minor, we will take immediate steps to remove such information.

8 Global Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA / CPRA)

Regardless of your geographic location, we respect fundamental privacy rights:

• Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request disclosure of what categories of information are processed.
• Right to Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of any stored data.
• No Sale of Data: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to data brokers or third-party advertisers for monetary or other consideration.
• Non-Discrimination: We never discriminate against any user for exercising their legal privacy rights.

9 Updates to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications in application functionality, third-party services, or evolving regulatory requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this official portal with an updated "Effective Date". Continued use of the application following the posting of revisions signifies your acceptance of the updated terms.
