🔒 100% USER PRIVACY & DATA SAFETY ASSURANCE
Welcome to Drishti AI. We are committed to building an intelligent, real-time voice and visual companion while upholding the highest standards of user privacy, digital safety, and data protection. This document outlines in clear, transparent language how our services operate, how device permissions are utilized, and how your personal space is safeguarded.
1. Device Permissions & How They Are Used
To provide hands-free voice assistance, real-time camera vision, and interactive features, the app requests specific permissions on your device. Each permission is requested strictly for its core functionality:
-
Microphone Access: Used exclusively when you engage in live voice conversations or voice searches. Microphone streams are active ONLY during your active interaction. The app NEVER conducts secret background listening or eavesdropping.
-
Camera Access: Used only when you activate visual assistance to describe your surroundings, read printed documents, or analyze items in front of you. The app NEVER snaps hidden background photos or records silent video feeds.
-
Location Services: Requested only to provide region-accurate information (such as local weather, regional calendar dates, nearby public places, or emergency directions). Location data is evaluated on-demand and is never tracked continuously in the background.
-
Storage & Files: Allows you to select photos or documents from your gallery to share with the companion. The app accesses only the specific files you personally choose to attach.
-
Biometric Voice ID (Voiceprint): Enables personalized voice lock security so the assistant responds specifically to your voice. Voiceprint calculation is processed 100% locally on your device's offline AI runtime. Your biometric voice vector is stored in secure local device memory and is NEVER uploaded to external servers.
-
Accessibility & Helper Control: An optional feature allowing hands-free voice control over phone settings (scrolling, adjusting volume, or launching apps).
🔒 Core Privacy Commitment: Drishti AI will never secretly record background conversations, capture hidden images, or track your movements. All features operate explicitly upon user initiation.
2. Transient Streaming, Audio/Video Downloader & Cloud Share Privacy
Our media features, streaming tools, and Cloud Share systems are designed with strict privacy and zero-server-footprint principles:
- Cloud Share (File Sharing): Files uploaded via Drishti Cloud Share are stored securely and encrypted via optional passwords (for Premium users). To ensure data minimalism, all uploaded files are permanently deleted from our servers after 7 days, or within 24 hours if the upload was interrupted or broken. We do not inspect, index, or retain your shared files beyond this temporary window.
- Transient Media Processing: Voice and visual data processed during live assistant sessions are held transiently in active memory for response generation and immediately discarded once the response is delivered. Raw audio and video streams are never stored on server disks.
- On-the-Fly Media Downloads: When using the YouTube Player widget to download audio (MP3) or video (MP4) content, media files stream on-the-fly directly to your mobile device's
Downloads/ directory. Media files are **NEVER saved or stored on our servers**, ensuring 0% server disk retention and complete user media ownership.
- Community AppStore Reviews: When you submit star ratings or comments in the App & Game Store, your review contains only your chosen display name, star rating, and text comment. Reviews are public to help community users evaluate applications.
- Smart Home Account Linking Security: Account credentials entered to link Smart Life, Tuya, or Home Assistant devices are encrypted using AES-256 military-grade encryption during account authorization.
3. End-to-End Transport Security & Encryption
We enforce robust security protocols to protect all data transmissions:
- Encrypted Digital Tunnels: All data transferred between your mobile device and our services is encrypted using modern TLS/SSL cryptographic protocols to prevent unauthorized interception.
- Protected Memory Storage: Saved conversation logs and user preferences are maintained in your private account or encrypted local app storage. You can wipe your chat memory at any time with a single tap.
4. User Data Control & Deletion Rights
You maintain full control over your personal information and device settings:
- Permission Revocation: You can grant or revoke Camera, Microphone, Location, or Storage permissions at any time via your device's System Settings.
- Instant History Erasure: You can clear individual chat sessions or delete your entire conversation history directly from the settings menu.
- Long-Term Memory Deletion: You can command the assistant to forget saved preferences or personal facts at any time (e.g. "Forget my preference").
5. Protecting Children's Privacy
Drishti AI is designed to be a safe, educational, and respectful companion for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal details without parental consent, we take immediate steps to remove such information.
6. Responsible Use & Community Safeguards
To ensure a safe and reliable environment for all users, you agree to use Drishti AI responsibly:
- Fair Usage: Users must not attempt to compromise service integrity, reverse-engineer proprietary binaries, launch automated spam attacks, or use the assistant for unlawful purposes.
- System Monitoring: Basic connection telemetry (IP address, device type, and system health metrics) is monitored strictly for threat detection, server stability, and abuse prevention.
7. Privacy Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new features or security enhancements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
