This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in the App.
This Privacy Policy applies to the following app:

The App has no account registration or sign-in.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you enter or select
- Images you take with the camera or choose from your photo library (such as textbook pages, worksheets, notes and screenshots)

1.2 Information generated through use
- Explanations, practice questions and answers to follow-up questions generated by AI
- History of explanations and questions, and the books and quiz books you save
- Study records such as "read" and "memorized"
- Your daily usage count, the extra uses added by watching ads, and your total usage count
The settings in 1.1 and the information in 1.2 are stored on your device. They may be lost if you delete the App, reset or change your device, or because of OS behavior. Section 3 describes which images and text are sent to the server.
1.3 Information collected automatically

- Device language setting
- RevenueCat anonymous user ID
- Advertising identifiers such as the IDFA (iOS) and the Advertising ID (Android)
- Information about ads shown and watched
- Technical information such as access logs and IP addresses
1.4 Purchase information
Subscriptions (VIP Plan) are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The Developer uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) to process and manage purchases, and the following information is handled:
- Subscription status, purchased products and expiration dates
- Receipts and transaction IDs issued by the store
- RevenueCat anonymous user ID
The Developer does not collect or store payment information such as credit card numbers, bank accounts or store account passwords.
2. How We Use Information
- To provide the App's features, such as reading text in images and generating explanations, practice questions and answers
- To save your history, books, quiz books and study records
- To provide subscriptions, check subscription status and restore purchases
- To manage your daily usage count
- To deliver ads, measure ad performance and prevent fraud
- To respond to reports of inappropriate AI-generated content and keep the App safe
- To investigate and fix problems and keep the service running reliably
- To comply with laws, the App's Terms of Service and platform policies
3. How AI Features Handle Information
To create explanations and practice questions, the App sends the following information to the Developer's server, and the server sends it on to AI service providers:
- Images: The images you choose are uploaded to the Developer's server (Cloudflare R2). To read the text in them, the images are sent to OpenAI. Before that, they are checked with OpenAI's content moderation.
- Text: The text read from your images or typed in, the difficulty and question style you chose, and your device language. Explanations and practice questions are mainly generated with DeepSeek; if DeepSeek does not respond, OpenAI is used instead. Text sent to OpenAI is checked with content moderation first.
- Follow-up questions: The text of your question, the conversation so far and the original text.
Uploaded images are stored on the server (Cloudflare R2) so that their text can be read. The Developer does not store the recognized text, generated explanations or follow-up conversations on the server. However, access logs and error logs may be recorded temporarily for troubleshooting and security.
When you tap the "Report" button on an explanation screen, the Developer's server (Cloudflare) records that a report was made (the app name and the date and time). The images, text and explanation are not sent with the report.
Please do not include personally identifiable or sensitive information in your images or text, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, student ID numbers, photos of faces, passwords, payment information or health information.
4. Advertising and Tracking
The App uses Google AdMob to show rewarded ads (video ads that give you extra uses when watched). AdMob may collect and use advertising identifiers, device information, IP addresses and information about ads shown and watched to deliver, measure and personalize ads and to prevent fraud. While you are subscribed to the VIP Plan, the App does not load ads.
On iOS, the IDFA is used for tracking across apps and websites only if you allow it through App Tracking Transparency (ATT). You can use every feature of the App without allowing it, but ads may be less relevant. You can also manage ad personalization in your device settings or Google account settings.
Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK and Switzerland
In these regions, before ads are delivered, the App shows a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) and asks for your consent to personalized ads. If you do not consent, non-personalized ads are shown. To deliver and measure ads, advertising identifiers, IP addresses and device information may be shared with third parties registered on the IAB TCF vendor list (such as ad networks and ad tech companies).
- AdMob ad technology providers: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9012903
- IAB TCF vendor list: https://iabeurope.eu/vendor-list-tcf/
Under the GDPR / UK GDPR, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection and withdrawal of consent. To change or withdraw your consent, please contact us using the details in Section 12.

8. Retention
