Privacy Policy for Writing Buddy

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Writing Buddy, a platform dedicated to enhancing your text editing and writing experience. Your privacy is of paramount importance to us, and we are committed to being transparent about how we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy serves as a detailed guide to help you understand the types of data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used and safeguarded. Whenever we refer to "Writing Buddy," "we," "our," or "us" in this document, we are referring to Writing Buddy.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is not a standalone document; it is an integral part of Writing Buddy's Terms of Service. It is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how we handle your personal and non-personal information across all Writing Buddy services, platforms, and features. This includes, but is not limited to, our web application, APIs, and third-party integrations. By using any of our services, you implicitly agree to the terms laid out in this Privacy Policy, as well as our Terms of Service.

Data Collection

At Writing Buddy, we take a minimalist approach to data collection to prioritize your privacy and security. Below are key aspects of how we handle information:

• No Data Storage:

  Writing Buddy does not store any user data on our servers. All data processed by the app is transient, meaning it is temporarily used to provide the service and is not stored for any length of time. This ensures that your data remains your own.

• No Data Collection:

  Our app is designed to function without collecting any personal or sensitive user data. The primary function of Writing Buddy is to utilize Google Gemini API to receive text inputs from users and provide services like grammatical corrections, text improvements, and writing assistance. Once the service is rendered, the data is immediately discarded.

Data Sharing

While we generally adhere to a strict 'No Data Sharing' policy for commercial or selling purposes, there are instances where we share relevant data with trusted third-party services to enhance the functionality and user experience of Writing Buddy. This is done in a manner that aligns with our commitment to uphold the highest standards of privacy and data security for our users.

Third-Party Services

We collaborate with third-party services to augment the features and functionalities of Writing Buddy. These integrations are carefully selected to improve your experience and include:

Google Gemini API:

Employed to refine and enhance the quality of user text for grammar checking, text correction, and writing assistance. We do not retain any data processed via Google Gemini's API.

It's crucial to understand that these third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and may collect, store, or process your data differently than we do. We highly recommend that you acquaint yourself with these third-party privacy policies to understand how your data may be handled.

Target Audience

Writing Buddy is developed with a global audience in mind, adhering to various international regulations and guidelines to ensure a safe and secure user experience for everyone. While our services are designed to be universally accessible and appropriate, it's important to clarify that Writing Buddy is not specifically engineered to cater to children under the age of 13. Our primary target audience consists of individuals seeking advanced text editing and writing assistance services, which generally falls outside the typical usage patterns of younger children. However, we have taken steps to ensure that the app's content and functionalities are suitable for a wide range of users, irrespective of age.

No Login Required

Users are not mandated to log in or create an account to access Writing Buddy. Our service is designed to work seamlessly without requiring any user registration or authentication.

User Rights

At Writing Buddy, we are committed to respecting your rights to privacy and data protection. Since we do not collect or store any personal or sensitive user data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete. However, we understand that you may still have questions or concerns about privacy and data protection.

If you have any queries, concerns, or complaints about how we handle data, you are encouraged to reach out to us. We are committed to resolving any issues you may have and providing you with the information you need to understand our practices.
