Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 04/06/2026

2. Information We Collect

We collect limited information necessary to provide and improve our services:

a. Account Information

When you sign in using Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, or Microsoft (via Firebase Authentication), we may collect:

• Name
• Email address
• Profile picture (if available)

b. Usage Data

We may collect:

• Token balance and usage
• App interactions (e.g., caption generation activity)
• Feature usage statistics

c. Device Information

We may collect basic device data such as:

• Device type
• Operating system version
• App version
• Anonymous analytics data

d. Images and AI processing

Images you select or upload are processed temporarily for caption generation.

• We do NOT store user images permanently on our servers, unless explicitly stated otherwise in future updates.
• Images are transmitted securely to our backend (Google Firebase) and then to Google Gemini to generate captions.
• We send a temporary encoded preview of your photo (not your full-resolution original unless it already fits our size limits).
• On our backend (Firebase), we may associate requests with your account identifier to operate the service and prevent abuse. This is not sent to Google Gemini.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected data to:

• Provide core app functionality (caption generation)
• Maintain and manage user accounts and token balances
• Improve AI performance and user experience
• Monitor usage and prevent abuse or misuse
• Analyze app performance and usage trends

4. AI Content Disclaimer

Meem AI generates captions using automated artificial intelligence systems.

By using the app, you acknowledge that:

• All captions are automatically generated
• Captions may be:
  • inaccurate
  • misleading
  • offensive
  • inappropriate
  • culturally insensitive

We do not guarantee the accuracy, appropriateness, or reliability of any generated content.

Meem AI is not responsible for any content generated by its AI system.

5. User Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for:

• Reviewing generated captions before use
• Sharing, publishing, or distributing captions
• Any consequences arising from the use of generated content

You agree that:

• You will not rely on AI-generated captions as factual or appropriate content
• You assume full responsibility for how captions are used

Under no circumstances shall Meem AI be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of AI-generated captions.

6. Content & Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Meem AI to:

• Generate or share hate speech
• Harass, abuse, or defame others
• Create or distribute illegal content
• Misuse AI-generated captions in harmful or unethical ways

We reserve the right to restrict or suspend access if misuse is detected.

7. Third-Party Services

Meem AI uses third-party services, including:

• Google Firebase (authentication, database, backend services)
• Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, and Microsoft (user authentication)
• Google AdMob (advertising and rewarded ads)
• Google Gemini API (Google LLC) — AI caption generation from photos you choose to process
• WhatsApp (optional sticker export integration)

These services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies.

Third-party AI (Google Gemini)

When you generate captions, our Firebase backend calls Google Gemini. Only the following is shared with Google Gemini:

• Shared with Gemini: the photo you select (as a temporary encoded preview), plus non-personal caption prompts needed to generate captions.
• Processed on our servers (not sent to Gemini): your Firebase account identifier, token balance, usage metadata, and abuse-prevention signals needed to run the app.
• How it works: you select an image in the app; the app sends it to Firebase Cloud Functions, which forward the image preview to the Google Gemini API.
• Retention: images are processed temporarily and are not stored permanently or used to train models on your personal content.

Google processes data under its own terms and privacy policy (Google Privacy Policy). We require that third parties receiving your data provide the same or equal protection of your data as described in this Privacy Policy.

Before any photo is sent to Google Gemini, the Meem AI app asks for your explicit in-app consent and explains what data is shared and which third-party service receives it.

8. Ads & Tokens

Meem AI uses a token-based system for accessing features.

Tokens may be earned through rewarded advertisements.

Tokens:

• Have no monetary value
• Cannot be transferred, exchanged, or redeemed for real-world currency
• Are non-refundable
• Could be reset at any time

9. Data Retention

• Account and usage data are retained as long as your account is active.
• Images are not stored permanently and are processed only for caption generation.

We may retain limited data for:

• legal obligations
• fraud prevention
• analytics purposes

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.

However:

• No system is completely secure
• We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information

11. Children's Privacy

Meem AI is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware of such data collection, we will take steps to delete it.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the app after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
