Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Laundry Care Symbols ("we," "our," or "the App"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Camera Images

When you scan laundry care labels, the App accesses your device camera to capture images. These images are:

• Processed to identify laundry care symbols
• Sent to Google Gemini AI API for symbol recognition
• Not permanently stored on our servers
• Processed temporarily and then discarded

Local Data Storage

The App stores the following data locally on your device:

• Scan History: Records of previously scanned symbols for your reference
• Preferences: Your app settings and language preferences
• Usage Analytics: Basic usage statistics stored locally for app improvement

This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to external servers.

Purchase Information

If you make in-app purchases (premium features), payment processing is handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). We do not collect or store your payment information.

Third-Party Services

Google Gemini AI

We use Google's Gemini AI service to analyze images of laundry care labels and identify symbols. When you scan a label:
