Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Pickr ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information. It also explains the choices you have about your data when using the App.By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.1. Information We Collect
We collect only the information that helps the App function properly and improve your experience. This may include:

a. Images You Upload
When you use the App to analyze a fruit or vegetable, you may upload or capture a photo. These images are processed by our AI systems to provide ripeness estimates.
• Images may be temporarily stored for processing and improvement of the App's performance.
• Unless otherwise stated, images are not permanently linked to your identity and are deleted after analysis or after a short retention period for system optimization.

b. Device and Usage Information
We may collect non-personal information automatically, such as:
• Device type and operating system
• App version
• Language and region settings
• Anonymous usage statistics (e.g., number of scans, session length)

This helps us maintain and improve the App.

c. Optional Information
If you contact us (for support, feedback, etc.), we may collect your email address and the information you provide so we can respond.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
• Operate and maintain the App
• Provide and improve AI-based image analysis
• Fix bugs, enhance performance, and develop new features
• Respond to user inquiries and provide customer support
• Comply with legal obligations when required

We do not sell your personal data.
3. How Images Are Processed
The App uses third-party AI technology to analyze photos. When you upload an image, it may be securely transmitted to a cloud-based service for processing.
• Images are processed only to generate ripeness estimates and improve the App.
• We do not use your images for advertising or unrelated purposes.
• We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to ensure images are protected during upload, transmission, and processing.

• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government request.
• Business Transfers: If the App or its assets are sold or transferred, data may be included as part of that transaction, but your privacy rights will continue to be protected.

We do not share your personal data with advertisers or marketers.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:
• Uploaded images are usually deleted shortly after processing.

You can request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 8).
