1. Who We Are
Jamaica AI is developed and published by Di Nerd Apps LLC. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at dinerdapps@outlook.com.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to operate the app.
Information you provide:
- Text you enter in the translator (sent to Google Translate API to perform the translation)
- Questions you type in the Ask AI chat (processed entirely on your device — never sent to any server)
Information collected automatically:
- Anonymous usage events via Firebase Analytics (e.g. which tabs you visit, quiz completion) — no personally identifiable information
- Crash reports via Firebase Crashlytics to help us fix bugs
- App performance data via Firebase Performance Monitoring
- Advertising identifiers via Google AdMob (for free users only; Pro users see no ads)
Information stored locally on your device:
- Your last 20 translations, stored using SwiftData on-device only
- Your app preferences (default language, text size)
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and improve the core features of the app
- To process translations via the Google Translate API
- To display relevant advertising to free users via AdMob
- To diagnose crashes and performance issues
- To understand how features are used in aggregate, so we can improve them
4. Translation Data & Google Translate
When you use the Translate tab, the text you enter is sent to Google's Cloud Translation API over HTTPS. Google's privacy policy applies to this data. We do not store your translation input on our servers. Google may use this data in accordance with their own terms. Please review Google's Privacy Policy.
5. On-Device AI (Ask AI Tab)
The Ask AI feature runs entirely on your device using on-device language models. Your questions and the AI responses are never transmitted to Di Nerd Apps LLC or any third-party server. No data from the Ask AI chat leaves your device.
6. Analytics & Crash Reporting
We use Firebase (by Google) for analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring. All analytics data is anonymised and aggregated. We do not link analytics data to your identity. You can opt out of analytics data collection in your iOS device settings under Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising, or by contacting us.
7. Advertising
Free users of Jamaica AI may see ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may use device advertising identifiers to show relevant ads. Upgrading to Jamaica AI Pro removes all advertising permanently. For more information, see Google Ads Privacy.
8. In-App Purchases
Jamaica AI Pro is a one-time purchase processed entirely through Apple's App Store. Di Nerd Apps LLC does not receive or store your payment information. Apple's privacy policy governs the purchase transaction.
9. Data Retention
Translation history is stored locally on your device. You can delete it at any time from the app. Analytics data is retained by Firebase per their standard retention policies. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
10. Children's Privacy
Jamaica AI is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our app, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
11. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal data and most is processed by third parties (Google, Apple), please also refer to their respective privacy policies. For any requests, contact us at dinerdapps@outlook.com.
12. Third-Party Services
- Google Cloud Translation API — Privacy Policy
- Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics / Performance — Privacy Policy
- Google AdMob — Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store / StoreKit — Privacy Policy
13. Security
We use HTTPS for all network communication. API keys are stored securely and never embedded in client-facing code. Local data is stored using iOS native storage which benefits from device-level encryption.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
