Privacy Policy ​

Last updated: February 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Parrot AI Android app ("Parrot AI", "the app") handles information when you use it.

Parrot AI is published by Wesley Batista Santos ("I", "me", or "developer"). The app is designed for experimentation with evolving AI tools and providers. You can connect the app to third-party AI services that you choose, and some features may run against local or self-hosted runtimes.

Summary ​

  • Parrot AI does not require a dedicated Parrot AI account for core app use.
  • You may provide your own API keys or authenticate with third-party AI providers.
  • Prompts, messages, audio, images, and attachments may be processed by the provider or runtime you choose.
  • Some app data (such as chat history and settings) may be stored locally on your device.
  • The app may use Google Play Billing and Firebase services (including Analytics, Crashlytics, Authentication, Remote Config, and Performance Monitoring), depending on build/configuration and your telemetry settings.
  • Parrot AI is experimental software. While I try to reduce risks, data can be lost, corrupted, or become unavailable. You are responsible for backups and for deciding what data you use with the app.

Information We Process ​

1. Information you provide in the app ​

Depending on how you use Parrot AI, the app may process:

  • text prompts and chat messages
  • voice recordings / audio input used for speech or AI interactions
  • images, audio files, and other attachments you choose to share
  • provider configuration settings (for example, endpoint choices and model preferences)
  • API credentials or tokens you enter for supported providers
  • authentication identifiers (including Firebase Authentication user IDs, which may be anonymous or linked accounts depending on the features you use)
  • support requests or feedback you send to the support email address

2. Local device data and app state ​

Parrot AI may store data locally on your device to provide core functionality, such as:

  • chat history and conversation metadata
  • app preferences and settings
  • selected provider/model configuration
  • cached files and downloaded runtime/model assets (for local runtime features)

Android automatic cloud backup / device-transfer backup for app data is currently disabled by the app to reduce unintended copying of local app data.

Where supported by the app, sensitive values such as API tokens are stored using Android-provided secure or encrypted storage mechanisms. No storage method is perfectly secure.

3. Diagnostics and analytics ​

Parrot AI may collect or transmit limited diagnostic, configuration, and usage information through third-party services used by the app, including:

  • Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports and stability diagnostics, if enabled)
  • Firebase Analytics / Google Analytics for Firebase (app usage analytics, if enabled)
  • Firebase Performance Monitoring (performance traces and diagnostics, if enabled)
  • Firebase Remote Config (remote configuration values and related fetch/update metadata)
  • Firebase Authentication (including anonymous authentication or linked accounts, depending on the features you use)
  • Google Play services (platform functionality, app delivery, licensing, billing, etc.)

Crash, analytics, and performance telemetry are off by default until you enable them in Settings → Privacy & Diagnostics. Some Firebase services (such as Authentication or Remote Config) may still process limited device/app metadata when their related features are used.

These services may collect device and app metadata (for example, device model, OS version, app version, timestamps, crash traces, configuration fetch metadata, and authentication/account identifiers). If crash reporting is enabled, crash diagnostics may be associated with a Firebase Authentication user ID (including an anonymous ID) when available, according to Firebase behavior and configuration.

4. Purchase-related information (Google Play Billing) ​

If you buy optional in-app digital items (including items intended to support development), transaction processing is handled by Google Play. I do not receive your full payment card information.

I may receive limited transaction-related information from Google Play (for example, product identifiers, purchase status, and order or token metadata) as needed to validate purchases and enable the related app functionality.

How Information Is Used ​

Parrot AI processes information to:

  • provide chat, voice, attachment, and AI interaction features
  • connect to the AI provider or local runtime you selected
  • store your preferences and conversation state locally
  • validate and support in-app purchases through Google Play (if applicable)
  • improve reliability, diagnose crashes, and monitor app performance
  • respond to support requests and communications
  • secure the app and prevent abuse or malfunction

AI Providers and Third-Party Processing ​

Parrot AI can connect to third-party AI services and tools that you choose (for example, hosted model providers or self-hosted/local runtimes). When you send content through a provider integration:

  • your prompts, messages, and attachments may be transmitted to that provider
  • the provider may store or process the data under its own terms and privacy policy
  • Parrot AI does not control third-party providers' retention, security, or downstream use of data

If you use local or self-hosted options, your data may remain on-device or within infrastructure you control, except for any downloads or services you separately enable.

Experimental Features, Data Integrity, and Your Responsibility ​

Parrot AI is intended in part as an experimental app for trying new AI integrations and workflows. AI providers, APIs, and app features may change quickly, break, or behave unexpectedly.

While I try to implement safeguards and improve reliability, I cannot guarantee that data will always remain accurate, complete, available, or uncorrupted. You should:

  • keep your own backups of any important information
  • avoid relying on the app as your only storage location
  • verify important AI outputs before using them
  • avoid sending sensitive information unless you accept the risks of third-party processing

This section is a transparency notice about how the app is used and maintained. Additional legal terms (including limitations of liability) are described in the Terms and Conditions.

Permissions Used by the App ​

Parrot AI may request Android permissions such as:

  • Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO): for voice input and audio features
  • Photos / media / files access: to attach images, audio, or files you choose to share
  • Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): to show relevant app notifications (Android version dependent)
  • Network access (INTERNET, network state permissions): to call AI providers, sync data, and access online features
  • Foreground service / data sync permissions: to support long-running downloads or setup flows (for example, local runtime assets)
  • Battery optimization request permission: to improve reliability for certain long-running operations, if you choose to allow it
  • Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING): for Google Play purchase flows, if applicable

You can manage permissions in Android system settings. Some features may not work without the required permission.

Data Retention ​

Retention depends on where data is processed:

  • On-device app data (such as local chat history and settings) remains on your device until you clear it, uninstall the app, or delete it in-app (where supported). Android automatic cloud backup/device-transfer backup for app data is currently disabled by the app.
  • Third-party provider data is retained according to that provider's policies.
  • Crash and analytics data is retained according to the applicable Firebase or Google service policies.
  • Purchase records are retained by Google Play under Google's policies, and limited purchase validation metadata may be retained as needed to support app functionality.

Data Sharing ​

Parrot AI does not sell your personal information.

Information may be shared with third parties only as needed to operate requested features, including:

  • AI providers you choose to use
  • Google Play / Google services (including billing and delivery)
  • Firebase services used for authentication, remote configuration, analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring
  • infrastructure or libraries required for app functionality

Security ​

I use reasonable technical measures to protect information processed by the app, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your device and any third-party provider accounts or API keys you use with the app.

Children's Privacy ​

Parrot AI is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the app. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact me so I can review the situation.

Changes to This Privacy Policy ​

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I do, I will update the "Last updated" date on this page. Continued use of the app after changes are posted means the updated policy applies going forward.
