How Information Is Collected

Direct Collection

We collect data directly from you when you submit ideas through the app. This includes the Idea Title and Idea Description that you provide. This data is entered by you through the app’s user interface.

From Our API

When you use the app, it interacts with our API to retrieve data such as Pain Points. These pain points are retrieved each time you launch the app and are used to provide you with relevant content. This data is automatically fetched from our API to enhance your user experience.

Automatically via API Interaction

When you interact with our API (for example, when retrieving pain points or validating your idea), we automatically collect certain data (IP Address). This information is gathered by our servers when making a request to our API.

The data we collect is either stored locally on your device or temporarily on our server, depending on the type of data and its purpose.

How Information Is Used

To Provide and Improve Services

We collect Idea Title and Idea Description to store your ideas locally on your device, allowing you to access them later. These submissions are also used for AI validation, where your idea description is processed to provide relevant feedback.

For App Functionality

We retrieve Pain Points from our API each time the app is launched to provide you with daily content. This data is stored locally on your device to ensure offline accessibility and a smooth user experience.

For API Interaction

We collect your IP Address when you interact with our API. This is used solely for rate-limiting purposes, to ensure fair usage of our services and to prevent abuse by controlling the number of requests made to the API.

The data is stored either locally on your device or temporarily on our servers, and is used to improve your experience within the app.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our app does not use cookies or any similar tracking technologies to collect personal information. We do not track or store your browsing behavior across different websites or applications. We do not link your IP address to any personal identifiers, nor do we track or profile users in any way.

Third Parties

OpenAI

When you validate your idea within the app, the idea description is first sent to our API. Our API then forwards the idea description to OpenAI for processing and generating AI-driven feedback.

Only the idea description is sent to OpenAI. No other personal data is shared. The idea description is used solely for AI validation and feedback generation.

For more information on how OpenAI collects and processes data, please refer to their Privacy Policy.

We use Google AdMob to display rewarded ads in exchange for validating your idea. When you watch an ad, you may receive a reward within the app.
