Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how PsyGuard.AI ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our relationship intelligence platform on iOS and Android.

1. How Our Platform Works

PsyGuard.AI enables users to:

• Enter information about individuals in their personal relationships based on their own observations
• Access educational example profiles of public figures using only publicly disclosed information
• Receive relationship insights through third-party AI services that process user-provided data
• Understand behavioral patterns using established psychological frameworks for educational purposes

We provide a platform that processes user information through external AI providers to generate relationship insights.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

• Account Information: Email address and encrypted password for account creation
• User-Generated Profile Data: Information you voluntarily provide to form profiles in relation to relationships
• Public Figure Examples: All browsable profiles provided by PsyGuard.AI, even those that may seem like they are based on real people, are entirely fictional and used for entertainment and educational purposes only
• Usage Data: App interactions, features used, and session information
• Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers

3. User Responsibility and Data Sources

Important clarifications about data responsibility:

• Users are solely responsible for the accuracy of information they input about others
• We do not verify, fact-check, or endorse the accuracy of user-provided observations
• Public figure profiles use only information voluntarily disclosed through interviews, biographies, social media, and public appearances
• All analyses are speculative and educational, not diagnostic or factual claims

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Process user-provided data through third-party AI services for relationship analysis
• Provide relationship intelligence insights and communication guidance
• Authenticate and secure your account
• Respond to support inquiries and improve user experience
• Demonstrate our analytical framework through public figure examples
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Third-Party AI Processing

We use established AI providers to generate insights:

• AI Partners: We work with leading AI providers including OpenAI and Groq
• Our Role: We facilitate the processing of user data but do not create the psychological analyses ourselves
• Their Role: Third-party AI services generate the actual content and insights
• Privacy: These services have their own privacy policies and data practices

6. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

• All profile data is encrypted both at rest and in transit using enterprise-grade encryption
• Secure cloud infrastructure with regular security audits
• Access controls and authentication protocols
• Regular data backups and disaster recovery procedures
• Private storage similar to personal journals or note-taking applications

7. Information Sharing and Platform Liability

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. Important points about sharing:

• Profile data remains private unless you explicitly choose to share it
• We are not liable for information you choose to share or publish outside our platform
• Users bear full responsibility for any screenshots, sharing, or publication of profile content
• We may share information only with your consent, for legal compliance, or to protect our rights

8. Educational and Non-Clinical Nature

All platform analyses are educational, speculative, and non-clinical:

• We are not a clinical service and do not aim to provide clinical, medical, or psychological diagnoses
• We are not licensed mental health professionals and do not offer therapeutic services
• Our platform is not intended to replace professional mental health care or psychological treatment
• Analyses use speculative language ("may suggest," "could indicate") rather than definitive clinical claims
• Content is based on universal psychological patterns everyone exhibits to different degrees
• Our platform serves relationship improvement and communication understanding only
• If you are experiencing mental health concerns, please consult with qualified mental health professionals
