Privacy Policy

Account Information

When you register for Qor AI, we collect your email address and display name. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google's authentication service. We do not request access to your Google contacts, calendar, or any other Google services.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use the app, including:

• Products you search for and compare
• Features you use (comparisons, link analysis, AI chat)
• Your stated preferences and use-case profile
• In-app settings and customizations
• Timestamps and frequency of interactions (not content)

Device Information

We collect basic device information for technical support and performance optimization, including device type (iOS/Android), OS version, app version, and general geographic region (country-level only, not precise location). We do not access your device's camera, contacts, microphone, or location without explicit permission.

AI Interactions

Text inputs you provide to the AI chat assistant and link analysis feature are transmitted to our AI service providers to generate responses. These inputs may be temporarily cached on our servers to deliver the service but are not permanently stored in identifiable form.

We use the information we collect exclusively to provide, maintain, and improve Qor AI. Specifically:

• Service Delivery — To authenticate your account, process your comparisons, and deliver AI-powered recommendations.
• Personalization — To calculate your Compatibility Score and tailor product recommendations to your preferences and budget.
• AI Features — To pass relevant context to our AI models so they can provide accurate, personalized responses to your queries.
• App Improvement — Anonymized, aggregated analytics help us understand which features are most useful and where we can improve the experience.
• Security — To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access to accounts.
• Communications — To send transactional emails (account verification, password reset) and, with your consent, product updates and new feature announcements.

We never use your data for advertising profiling or sell insights about your behavior to third parties.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

We work with a limited set of trusted service providers who process data on our behalf, under strict data processing agreements:

• PocketBase — Our backend infrastructure for secure user account storage and API services. Your account data is stored on PocketBase-powered servers.
• Google Gemini / DeepSeek — AI service providers that process your product queries and chat messages to generate AI responses. Your inputs are used solely to fulfill your request and are governed by each provider's API data policies.
• Algolia — Powers our product search feature. Search queries are processed by Algolia to deliver fast, relevant results.

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Qor AI, our users, or the public.

We take the security of your data seriously and implement multiple layers of protection:

• Encryption in Transit — All data transmitted between the app and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
• Encryption at Rest — Sensitive data stored on our servers, including passwords, is hashed using industry-standard bcrypt algorithms. Plain-text passwords are never stored.
• Access Controls — Access to production data is strictly limited to authorized personnel and requires multi-factor authentication.
• Regular Security Reviews — We perform periodic security audits and promptly address any identified vulnerabilities.
• Token-Based Authentication — User sessions use secure, short-lived JWT tokens to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.

While we implement robust security measures, no system is 100% immune to breaches. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly in accordance with applicable law.

Qor AI's mobile app does not use browser cookies. However, we use device-local storage mechanisms to enhance your experience:

• Theme Preference — Your dark/light mode selection is stored locally on your device so it persists between sessions.
• Session Tokens — Authentication tokens are stored securely on your device to keep you signed in.
• App Preferences — Your notification settings, display preferences, and onboarding state are stored locally.
• Comparison Cache — Recently viewed comparison results are temporarily cached locally for faster access and offline viewing.

This website (qorai.net) uses minimal local storage for your theme preference and session management only. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies on this website.
