Privacy Policy — LocalAI

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use the App.

1. Summary

• Image generation runs on your device. Prompts and generated images are processed locally using on-device machine learning (Core ML) except where you explicitly use network features described below.
• We do not operate a login or user account in the App we do not ask you for a name, email, or phone number inside the App to use core features.
• Advertising: The App may show ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect and process data according to Google’s policies.
• Downloads: If you download optional AI model files, the App connects to third-party hosts (for example model distribution or mirror URLs configured in the App) to retrieve files. Those servers may see standard connection metadata (such as IP address) as with any HTTPS request.

2. Information the App processes on your device

2.1 Prompts and generated content

• Text you enter (positive and negative prompts) and images produced by the model are used on-device to run generation and to display results in the App.
• If you use features that save images to a gallery or export/share images, that content is stored or transmitted according to your actions (for example in the App’s sandbox, Photos, or the share destination you choose).

2.2 Settings and preferences

• The App stores preferences (such as model selection, step count, toggles, and similar settings) using Apple’s UserDefaults (or equivalent) on your device so the App can remember your choices between launches.

2.3 Files and storage

• The App reads and writes files in its sandbox and accessible storage (for example downloaded model archives, extracted resources, cached data, and saved images).
• If you choose a custom model folder via the system file UI, the App accesses only what you select, subject to iOS permissions and security-scoped access rules.
• The App may check available storage on your device to avoid starting large downloads or model operations when free space is insufficient.

3. Network activity and third parties

3.1 Model downloads

• When you download suggested or linked model packages, the App makes HTTPS requests to the configured URLs. Those operators receive typical server logs (which can include IP address, user agent, timestamps, and request paths) .

3.2 Advertising (Google AdMob)

• The App may display advertisements provided by Google LLC through the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob).
• Google may use identifiers and device data for purposes such as ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalization, as described in Google’s Privacy Policy and Google Advertising Policies.
• Where required by Apple, you may be presented with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt or other consent flows depending on your region.

4. Data retention

• On-device data remains until you delete the App or remove content using iOS features or in-App actions where available.
• Server-side retention applies only to the third parties whose networks you contact (for example ad and download hosts), under their policies.

5. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13. You are not able to download it from App Store if you under 13.

6. Your choices and controls

• You can delete the App to remove locally stored App data in the normal iOS sense (subject to iOS behavior for documents or shared containers if you used them).

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
