Welcome to SavAI, a mobile application designed to assist Costco members in tracking price adjustments and viewing in-store prices and hot deals. This Privacy Policy explains how SavAI ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares your information when you use our app. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:
Information You Provide
- Costco Purchase Data: Information about your Costco purchases (e.g., item names, prices, purchase dates) when you input or upload receipts or transaction details.
- User Input: Details you manually enter, such as store locations or preferences for tracking deals.
Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and IP address to ensure app functionality and security.
- Usage Data: How you interact with the app, such as pages viewed, features used (e.g., price adjustment requests or deal searches), and timestamps.
- Location Data: Approximate location (if permitted) to identify nearby Costco stores and display relevant in-store prices or hot deals. Precise location is not collected.
Information from Third Parties
- Costco Data: We may process publicly available or user-provided Costco pricing data to identify price drops or deals. SavAI is not affiliated with Costco, and we do not directly access Costco systems.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- To track Costco price changes and notify you of potential price adjustment opportunities.
- To display in-store prices and hot deals based on your location or selected stores.
- To improve app functionality, troubleshoot issues, and analyze usage trends.
- To ensure security and prevent fraud or misuse of the app.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data as follows:
- Service Providers: With third-party vendors (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics providers) who assist us in operating the app, bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Obligations: If required by law, regulation, or legal process (e.g., court order).
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to users where required.
4. Your Choices
- Location Access: You can disable location permissions in your device settings, though this may limit deal and price visibility.
- Data Input: You control what purchase or receipt data you provide; the app functions best with complete information.
5. Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. Purchase data is stored until you delete it or your account is inactive for 12 months, after which it is securely deleted.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Third-Party Links
The app may reference Costco or other external sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, including Costco. Please review their policies separately.
8. Children's Privacy
SavAI is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn such data has been collected, we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant updates via the app or email. Your continued use of SavAI after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
