This Privacy Policy explains how Bali Guide AI handles information when you use the mobile application. Bali Guide AI is a travel companion for Bali and does not require you to create an account.
The app may store your selected language, country, profile name and email that you enter, favorites, trip history, packing checklist, offline-map selections, community posts, and location preferences on your device. Your Google Gemini API key is stored in Android secure storage. These local values are not sent to Bali Guide AI servers.
If you grant location permission, the app uses approximate or precise device location to show nearby destinations, routes, weather, and local recommendations. Coordinates may be sent to OpenStreetMap Nominatim for reverse geocoding and to Open-Meteo for weather forecasts. You can deny permission or change it in Android settings.
When you use voice chat, live interpretation, or voice narration, microphone audio and related transcriptions are sent directly from the app to Google Gemini using the API key you provide. Audio is not uploaded to Bali Guide AI servers. Google processes that information under its own terms and privacy policies.
If you choose to create a community post, the app may access a photo from your camera or gallery. The selected image and post text are stored locally on your device. If you request AI photo analysis, the image and accompanying text are sent directly to Google Gemini using your API key. The app does not operate a community server or sell community content.
The app connects to third-party services to provide features, including Google Gemini, Open-Meteo, OpenStreetMap Nominatim, map tile providers, exchange-rate services, and external links that you choose to open. Those providers may receive technical information such as your IP address and request data and process it under their own privacy policies.
Bali Guide AI does not sell personal information and does not use personal information for targeted advertising.
Locally stored information remains on your device until you remove it, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. Information sent to third-party AI, weather, geocoding, or exchange-rate providers is subject to those providers' retention policies. You can stop future collection by revoking permissions, removing your API key, and discontinuing use of the related features.
Bali Guide AI is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
The app uses encrypted HTTPS or secure WebSocket connections for supported network features and stores the Gemini API key using Android secure storage. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.
We may update this policy when the app or its data practices change. The effective date above will be updated when revisions are published. For privacy questions, contact the developer through the email address shown on the Bali Guide AI Google Play listing.
