Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 9, 2025

Welcome to QuotelyAI, created by AKDroid Labs. Your privacy matters to us, and we want you to understand how your information is used and protected. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you stay in control.

1. What the App Does

QuotelyAI helps you discover, create, and share motivational quotes. It offers a smooth experience that includes:

• Signing in with Email or Google using Firebase Authentication
• Viewing and organizing quotes by category
• Generating new quotes with Google’s Gemini AI (Vertex AI)
• Customizing quote cards with text and background images
• Receiving daily motivational notifications

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information needed for the app to function properly:

• Account Information: When you sign in, Firebase Authentication gives us your display name, email address, and Google profile picture.
• Usage Data: General statistics like app version, how often features are used, or if a quote was saved or shared. This helps us improve the app’s experience.
• Device Information: Basic technical details such as device model, Android version, and anonymous crash logs.

We never collect passwords, contacts, or precise location data.

3. AI Quote Generation (Gemini API via Vertex AI)

When you use the “Generate Quote” feature, your entered text (prompt) is securely sent to our backend hosted on Google Cloud. That backend connects to Gemini API (Vertex AI) to create your AI-generated quote.

• Your prompt is transmitted securely and processed only for that request.
• We do not store your prompt or generated results on our servers.
• Everything runs under Google’s cloud security standards.

For more details, see the Google AI Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.

4. App Permissions and Local Storage

QuotelyAI asks for only a few permissions to make its main features work:

• Storage: To pick images from your gallery or save customized quote cards.
• Notifications: To send daily motivational messages.
• Internet Access: To fetch AI-generated quotes and images from Pixabay.

All stock images are royalty-free from Pixabay.

5. Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on a few trusted providers to keep the app running securely:

• Firebase Authentication — manages user login
• Firebase Realtime Database — stores minimal app data and preferences
• Google Vertex AI (Gemini) — powers quote generation
• Pixabay — provides royalty-free backgrounds

6. Data Retention and Your Control

Here’s how you stay in control of your information:

• Your profile data (name, email, photo) stays stored in Firebase only while your account is active.
• You can delete your account anytime through the app: Profile → Delete Account.
• If you can’t access the app, email us at quotelyai.team@gmail.com to request deletion.
• AI prompts and generated quotes are processed temporarily and never stored.

For full details, you can also review our dedicated Account Deletion Policy.

7. How We Protect Your Data

We follow standard security best practices to keep your data safe:

• All communication uses HTTPS encryption.
• Firebase and Google Cloud handle authentication and access securely.
• We don’t share personal data with advertisers or unauthorized third parties.

8. Children’s Privacy

QuotelyAI is not meant for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from minors. If a parent or guardian believes their child has provided personal information, please email us, and we’ll remove it promptly.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect new features or legal changes. When we do, we’ll update the “Last Updated” date above. Continuing to use the app after changes means you agree to the updated policy.
